Edmonton help us
At the tail end of my last column, a typing error reads, "why couldn't they have crushed Obama right at the beginning." It should had read Osama. You know, bin Laden, the monster, not Obama, whom I love like everybody else.
I see our Premier Floyd Roland addressed Edmonton businesses on April 20 at the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce. I would love to read his speech. I hope he called a spade a spade and gave them the true relationship between Edmonton and the Yukon and NWT. For the past two centuries, the Klondike in the Yukon is gold rush; then in the NWT, the HBC, fur traders and adventurers all started their journey in Edmonton, when Edmonton was just a little dirt town. They bought all their supplies in Edmonton, wagon loads pulled by oxen and horses, all heading North through Peace River country to reach the territories.
Now, after hundreds of years in up to date travel, we are still travelling the same path in jets and motors, still buying our supplies in Edmonton in the billions
