There's no difference right now in the stature right now of the Brier or the Scott - that's the bottom line. This is a four-year plan and understanding all the facts it was a good success for Year 1.

In a nutshell you're putting a Scott [Tournament of Hearts] and a Brier under one roof. If you look at the teams, that's what you get. You're getting the world's best who play over a yearly period.

Sapphic Chords

On what marble stones would you scratch your love today?
Spray it on brick walls, rap it in pool halls,
hang it on the clothes line with you lingerie?
Oh, Sappho!

Would you swing a softball bat, wear lipstick, ride a Harley?
What novels would you pen, what political party?
Is that really tenderness in your final line, or do words hang for what you
couldn't say?

What remnants you left behind, too little but enough
for us to know the luxury of your lust.
Your heat, your wisdom, your passion - all left in fragmented trust.
Oh, Sappho!

I'm damn well pissed off,

Alberta Environment is doing, and has been doing, everything possible to respond to protect the environment, ... We can always learn from these incidents how we can do better and that’s why I’ve established this commission to review our capability to respond to these types of situations and recommend how we can improve.

We are doing a complete investigation.
