Thanks to all the folks who find thought-provoking and entertaining articles to post here

Keep up the good work and feel free to share posts with friends. Spread the word.

To the lurkers: if you have never posted, don't be shy. If you find something that reveals a new truth, confirms our biases -- or challenges our biases -- sock it to us.

And, as for the cost of full participation, it all goes to good causes except for the small percentage that Locals.com takes to keep the lights on. But even if you just read once in a while, we are happy to have you here.

(BTW, don't automatically believe everything you read here. Some of us post quirky stuff, just because it is thought-provoking.)

In that regard, Andy Lee protested at first that our gift was too much but finally accepted. Sheldon, I have yet to reach, and I have yet to send some $$$ to the Coutts Three support.

Been busy.

For anyone new, The Lions is the remanant of the Danielle Smith Locals group. We all enjoyed DS for her open mind and eclectic interviews on the Corus Network and followed her on her Loacals.com site -- and (mostly) supported her in her run for MLA, and Premier.

After she was elected Premier, Danielle Smith Locals disappeared for understandable reasons since we are outspoken and a potential target for her many unscrupuolous enemies, so we set up The Lions.
