    I read with puzzlement the headline "Liberal leader pledges lower royalty rates for natural gas" - Dr. Taft wants to lower royalties. Interesting strategy, especially when coupled with "Liberals would end heating subsidies." The Liberals want to, simultaneously, collect less for our natural gas and end the protection to consumers for what Albertans pay to heat their homes. It might be important to note that the Liberals have no idea how to actually do this, as the Journal reports that Dr. Taft "admitted he doesn't know how to tweak the rates Ed Stelmach's Conservatives have already announced, saying only that the Liberal goal is to somehow reap 20 per cent more from royalties."

      You might also mention that this is only months after Dr. Taft said he would accept the Royalty Review Panel's recommendations without alteration...

      "Dr." Taft is a fish out of water! His flips and flops so much one has to wonder if his handlers are inept or if they are pulling their hair out as he makes it up himself as he goes along!
