This thread is why CKA rulez. From Alberta-bashing to a discussion about donut-bumping all within the space of one page?

paris is a toss up since she had no career to start with but Lindsay Lohan is another matter.

She had a very promising and bright career ahead of here. A talented young actress. The last few years she has simply become tabloid fodder for trashy behaviour.

Last I heard she was going to do some "celebrity nudes" show in Vegas. Bad publicity.

I might be old but I ain't dead! Lindsay Lohan nekid! You got a link???

Couldn't tell if 'the carpet matches the drapes' or did she 'dare to go bare'!

Nudity is never bad publicity...there is no such thing as bad publicity. You all are talking about her and I bet that the next trip anyone takes to Vegas will probably include the Celebrity Nude show

I don't think the pic should have been used. Having said that, I just watched the video ( google Alberta/Northumberland) and read the Sun article that Hurley was quoting from. To be fair, as the pic in question comes into view, the narrator says "not only ours, but the world". Still, I think the video is fubar and should be deleted from the campaign. A side benefit to all this is that indeed, Alberta is getting a lot of publicity, and according to some in the tourism industry on both sides of the ocean are saying that it is 'good' publicity as many people around the UK and other parts of the world no little or nothing about Alberta. Sure it's a screw-up. but it WILL get turned to our advantage!

You obviously haven't been to Jasper in the winter...it's overrun with skiing Brits!

Lived in Hinton for several years. Dad was the Dean at the FTS. One brother still lives there and I visit several times a year. JASPER...is 'our playground'. So there!!!

I had a call the other day from my parents telling me about this. I used to go there when I was a young lad (boy) with my mam and dad. I love alberta but your right theres definatly no sign of the sea anywhere Ive been!

Can't remember who said it but your right its not to far away from Newcastle-upon-Tyne where Im origionally from. Got a castle there to - quite nice place to visit but a bit boring if your there any longer than a day.

To be fair... once upon a time Alberta was covered in ocean, so technicallt there might once have been a beach....

More like an inland sea.

Sundance sea was not quite inland as it had a northern and southern opening. What is BC was merely a chain of islands

True but allmost all info on it describes it as an inland sea.

I think it went through 5 transgressions,so if it receded 5 times it would have been inland a lot of the time.

Like my old geologist used to say"there was a whole lotta shaking and moving going on back then".
As I live on what was the coast once I have tonnes of freshwater fossills.

I think that probably at one time or another, every place on earth was once under salt water.
The St-Laurence river valley was also an inland sea.
When they drill down in parts of Montreal, they bring up sea shells.

I used to find petrified palm trees about 900 meters into the bowel of the mountain when mining in BC.

Also one of Canadas best finds of dino tracks is there.
It was discovered by accident when a huge chunk of the mountain failed and when the rock stopped sliding there was literally millions of tracks exposed.
National geographic came and documented it.
I have video of some of it failing as i was below it at the time.

Were those trees calamites? The plant life at that time was mostly lot of giant tree ferns and plants that belong to the same family as scouring rushes. Angiosperms weren't as common or widespread as they are today.

Hard to say but I found more fossilized trees then ferns,some were over a meter wide and allmost fully intact.The mist mountain formation is also flipped upside down there so the old rocks are at the surface and the younger ones are a mile down.

$1:

The Elk Valley coal comes from a package of rocks known as the Mist Mountain Formation and is the oldest record of terrestrial (non-marine) rocks in western Canada. The Mist Mountain Formation rock layers straddle the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary and were deposited approximately 135 million years ago along the coastal region of an inland sea that stretched from the Arctic Ocean almost to the Gulf of Mexico.

By comparison, much of the coal that is produced in the Tumbler Ridge area is approximately 100 million years old.
