This blond joke has a Canadian connection, apologies if anyone feels slighted. Three blondes died and found themselves standing before St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter represented. The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to Hell. The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to Hell. The third blonde said she knew what Easter was, and St. Peter said, "So, tell me." She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His disciples when He was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested Him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large boulder ... " St. Peter said, "Verrrrrry good." Then the blonde continued, "Now, every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of hockey." St. Peter fainted.

What is it with the Post anyways, we finally manage to put some cold water on the quebec separatists, and here the Post goes trying to fan western separatism. While Alberta may be the richest province, it is not soley in charge of its own destiny, despite what many albertans believe. In the end its the oil markets that dictate the level of prosperity in Alberta, which despite the agricultureal/ high tech/ and tourism sector, is still the only game in town as far as provincial prosperity geos.
