i wasn't aware that Calgary had film industry Most feature films are of the western variety (Unforgiven, Legends of The Fall) and a number of low cost tv productions (Honey I Shrunk the Kids, made for TV movies etc.). Steven Segal blows up some helicopters (or some people, or both) on the bridge I drive into downtown, in his movie that just opened. Perhaps Calgary will be the prototype for all of Canada on how to create profit incentive in terms of lower taxation and less restriction. I've seen the benefits of low taxation and low debt first hand. It's been an amazing last 8 years. In 1993 our Premier won his election and convinced the Provincial Employee's Union, the Nurses Union, and the Medical Assoc all to take 5% pay cuts, to help the province pay down its massive debt. The debt is almost gone, freeing up billions in interest payments. We now have the best paid Doctors and Nurses in Canada and the lowest taxes. Regards Jay

The bonds will be spent before they are sold at this rate. Ca could be in trouble folks some one is going to have to fend up with cash for the state. State lawmakers have been wrestling with various fixes, including the planned sale of $10 billion in bonds to buy electricity, the potential purchase of the utilities' power transmission systems, expensive conservation programs, and expedited power plant construction. Most of these potential solutions have yet to be enacted. Throughout the crisis, Davis has been unremittingly optimistic, talking about steps he is taking to encourage conservation and get more power plants built by summer. And he has embarked on a costly program to keep the lights burning, at a rate of about $50 million a day or more than $2.7 billion so far.
