Default Re: Canadian PM Harper Considering Prorogation (Again! Jan 2010)

Warren Buffett has a reputation for having a good instinct for money. I actually think he has great connections to political leaders, which help him more. So, this is his latest venture, which he says is 'green' - like his interest, now passed, in Alberta's electrical grid, i.e. wind energy, and US energy consumption/ independence (and the Alberta government's current tax-funded grid 'upgrade' to accommodate the USA's needs).

Warren Buffett Takes the Train to Work… Why You Should Follow His Lead
Trains present a relatively easy alternative to those problems. They obviously don’t have to worry about traffic jams and according to Burlington Northern, when they carry 100 tons over 1,000 miles, they produce 45% less pollution than trucks.

Has anyone read Matt Cohen's 'The Colours of War'? Seems co-inkidinky. The invasion of Canada and trains theme. Also, it was the banking and railroad cartel that exterminated the great bison herds - and the millions of pronghorn antelope that followed bison. It ruined the tracks. It consequently destroyed swaths of peoples who depended on the bison for life, too, which was planned by General What's-his-name.
