		Born in the heart of Canada's "Ukraine country," Vegreville, Alberta, where the symbol of life, the pysanka (Easter egg), stands guard, Laurence Decore was one of three boys, all of whom became lawyers "like dad." Dad - John Decore -- set the pace for his son Laurence's political life.

	Ponting/Alberta's deficit CH
		To embrace it, you must, for instance, believe that not only the devious Klein but also the dastardly Liberal party under Laurence Decore were involved in this plot to balance the budget.
		Decore, after all, garnered nearly 40 per cent of the popular vote in the 1993 campaign by promising "brutal" cuts.
		So, if you believe the Klein Revolution was neo-con subterfuge, you have to believe that Decore and almost 85 per cent of the province's voting population were co-conspirators.
