Show Them The Costs

of Kyoto, and keep pounding at those costs until the voters cry Uncle!

Seriously, the Conservatives have been allowing the opposition and MSM to frame the word "Kyoto" into voters brains, until they actually think it means the "environment". This has got to stop! How, my 2 readers ask? SHOW THEM THE COSTS!

Minister Baird did great getting some very respected economists to cost out Kyoto, now POUND THEM with those costs. In every response in Question Period, bring the costs into the picture.

You get a question on immigration, talk about how Kyoto would kill immigration because too many Canadians would be unemployed to allow for much immigration, Kyoto kills jobs.

You get a question on the arts, explain how the government would love to fund more cultural events, but that money now has to be diverted to carbon credits for Russia.

You get a question on the manufacturing section losing jobs, well what did we tell you, meeting Kyoto targets are more important than worrying about manufacturing jobs, those are all going to China.

You get a question about a national daycare and more funding, sorry, if we are going to meet our Kyoto targets, 275,000 jobs will be lost, and those people will not NEED daycare anymore, because they will be sitting at home.

Okay, you get the idea. For every special interest group who wants more money, it's a big FAT (okay I know that word isn't politically correct anymore, but so what) NO, because, as we have been told, the environment is our number one priority and Kyoto targets MUST be met or our international reputation will be in shambles. Everytime an opposition member gets up in the house, ask them to choose, Kyoto or a road for their community.

So, international reputation or pocketbook? I wonder which one the average hardworking Canadian will choose?
