Coming To Alberta!

Okay, we've gone from global cooling to global warming to climate change (well duhhh, yes, our climate changes, sheesh) to polluters pay.

Quebec is going to tax major polluters and they think that the companies are going to just pay the tax, without passing it on to the consumer? Give your head a shake!

"Hopefully, the money collected will meet tangible measures, like research and development, and conservation," said Tony Macerollo, a vice-president at the institute.


I can't believe that such a socialist province thinks a carbon tax is a good thing, and I suspect that once they see a permanent hike in gas prices, they will not be so happy about taxing carbon, you know that stuff our plants love, and turn into oxygen. Now that Kyoto is dead, all this means is that Quebecois are paying more for gas without any benefits. Hello Quebec, fighting pollution is a great idea, but another tax, in your already heavily taxed province, not such a good idea.

Try limiting the power of your unions, they are forcing your youth to leave the province, in the hope of a good job, without having to know someone in a union. Thanks, here in Alberta, we really appreciate their help and skills.

It's interesting, Alberta is getting all the young people from other provinces coming here and setting down roots. My husband came out here from PEI more than 25 years ago, and he's still here (I like to think it's because of me, a prairie girl!). We have talked about moving to PEI, I love the island, but there are no jobs that come even close to matching what we have in Alberta.

So, go ahead, tax carbon Quebec, we await your sons and daughters, we will give them a good life. They might even learn to wear cowboy boots and eat perogies. Funny how the majority of immigrants are staying in Montreal and Toronto, and all the natural born Canadians are coming to Alberta.
