EDMONTON -- It's wonderful that Ralph Klein and Stephen Harper are working to raise our profile in Washington, but for every silver lining there is a cloud -- and in this case it's a glowering thunderhead named Al Gore. ....
The election in Canada was partly about the tar sands projects in Alberta," Gore told a crowd at the Sundance film festival in Utah. "The financial interests behind the tar sands poured a lot of money and support behind an ultra-conservative leader in order to win the election and to protect their interests."
Apparently Gore was unaware that Canadian election law caps company donations at $1,000 a year, or that natural resources are controlled by provincial governments and not the feds. But why let facts get in the way of a good smear?
Well, thanks for that, Al, but I'm guessing most Albertans have a better grip on their lives than a political also-ran who can't get over the fact he lost the presidency to George W.
Gore also has a Michael Moore-style movie out -- An Inconvenient Truth -- that tries to dramatize the eye-glazing greenhouse gas slide show presentation the former Veep has been boring audiences with for two decades (I have had the misfortune to sit through it twice).

The rest of the article is a hoot.
