I suppose I have the tastes of someone who teaches at a university in the provinces.
Andrew Davies

Annastacia Palaszczuk

Anne Michaels
Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go.

There is no question that the Islamic State will be defeated in Mosul; the real question is what comes afterward. Can the post-Islamic State effort resolve the squabbling likely to arise over numerous issues and bring lasting stability to one of Iraq's most diverse and challenging provinces? Failure to do so could lead to ISIS 3.0.
The Germans have done wonderful work. Not long ago, a German battle group battalion conducted a very impressive counterinsurgency operation in a portion of Baghlan province.

The challenge of Mosul and Nineveh is the considerable number of ethnic groups, religious sects, tribes, and other elements that make up the province.

Until the province is willing to look internally at their inflated budget, to engage the private sector, to exhaust every other available avenue, we can't justify a series of costly new taxes on residents who are already telling us that they just can't afford it.
But Alberta has the best potential of any province for solar energy. It has enormous potential for wind power. And so replacing coal in Alberta with wind and solar is totally doable, and good for their economy.
The most important thing is guaranteed livable income, which will take a while to bring in because it means all the provinces have to participate.
