Six In The Morning

Here's your post-sunrise headlines, for the second time this week. Maybe I'll eventually find the time to post this linkapalooza everday. (But so busy! And so lazy!)

1. STOP WHINING AND EAT THE DAMN TAR Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff tells Montrealers they should support Alberta and it's magical mudfields: "The stupidest thing you can do (is) to run against an industry that is providing employment for hundreds of thousands of Canadians, and not just in Alberta, but right across the country." He also apparently said the tarsands development must be made sustainable. Good luck with that.

2. REGINA DAYCARES CLOSING remember when everyone in Saskatchewan voted Stephen Harper's Conservatives into office and, as promised, they scrapped the Liberal national child care plan for a crummy monthly allowance? Maybe this is karma. (With apologies to the parents who are impacted.)

3. MASSIVE LAYOFFS AT MICROSOFT Five-thousand jobs, poof! gone. Microsoft blames the economy, we blame Vista.

4. STATE OF AFFAIRS Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco will give his State of the City address today. Wonder if he'll mention our town's anorexic rental market.

5. CAN'T HELP YOU, PLEASE GO AWAY The Dziekanski inquiry continues.

6. DRIP, DRIP, DRIP Oh yeah, and it looks like the south pole is melting after all. Global warming skeptics will have to find something else to justify their insane and dangerous delusions.
