"Since liberals see all abortion as good "
Not really; they think access to abortion is good.

"aren't liberals seeing a world of black and white, with abortion always absolutely moral"
Most liberals don't use words like "always" and "absolutely and "all"..." cuz they know there are at least 50 shades of grey.

Calgary's Manhattan Moment
I only hope my city's nightmare is the climate change wake-up Alberta, and Canada, needs.

By Andrew Nikiforuk, Yesterday, TheTyee.ca


Calgary immersed after hit by triple the previous rainfall record.


"The frequency with which Canada experiences events such as heavy rainfall of a given intensity (known as the return period), is projected to increase such that an event that occurred on average once every 50 years will be likely to occur about once every 35 years by 2050."
-- Telling the Weather Story, Insurance Bureau of Canada, 2012

"And so Calgarians are now living a chronicle foretold by climate scientists. "

"The speed and scale of the event "stunned" Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a climate change skeptic, and it mortified Premier Alison Redford, whose deficit plagued government hasn't budgeted for disasters, let alone the future. (One 2011 report catalogued Alberta's reticence on the issue this way: "Leadership on climate change adaptation from senior levels in all departments is weak.")"
