Bob, OT...
Two things are driving the Loonie.
1) We are too trade dependent upon you guys. We can't have par. Par Schmarr.
2) The current political uncertainty which likely will not improve much for a while. I do not see how we can have lasting stability until the Liberal Party is ousted. BEFORE my Liberal supporting friends jump on me.... They (Liberal Party) need to be taught that they are NOT a natural governing party. I am afraid the country is more at risk today because of them than at any other point in my lifetime. We need to return to a system with a viable opposition party ... I hope it is not to late but...

Sound a little like American history ?

Following the Red River Rebellion, large numbers of Métis travled west and settled in the Saskatchewan River valley, especially along the south branch of the river in the country surrounding the Saint-Laurent mission (near modern Grandin, Saskatchewan). But by the 1880s, it had become clear that westward migration was no panacea for the troubles of the Métis and the plains Indians. The rapid collapse of the buffalo herd was causing near starvation among the Plains Cree and Blackfoot First Nations. This was exacerbated by a reduction in government assistance in 1883, and by a general failure of Ottawa to live up to its treaty obligations.
