How Greenspan was my Valley?

Former U.S. Fed chairman Alan Greenspan's visit is expected to pack the Telus Convention Centre, which can seat about 2,400 people.

So yeah I was at the Canadian Economic forum. Well it wasn't so much an economic forum as it was Alan Greenspan telling us where th'economies at, all serious and the like. I mean he's a pretty cool guy, he's a musician, he knew Ayn Rand, he saved the world from economic disaster (numerous times)... What I'm saying is he's an interesting person. He actually provided a lot of insight, except for the whole nuclear energy in the oil sands thing, it won't work, you can't transport heat that easy. He also provided his predictions for the housing bubble, and he didn't even imply doom and "fear mongering," how UnAmerican, he said it would only slightly drop and then flatten out. Even cooler was the fact that I met the guy who owns and runs the Elbow River Casino, they were cool giving me some insight into the economies of casinos.
