They ...It's really Quebec outsmarting us again. They now get that the Bloc bugs everyone else, previously they figured we didn't get that the Bloc cannot actually achieve sovereignty. But they like having a strong voice, which comes from being the biggest source of support to one party. Choosing the NDP makes sense, it takes the separatist idea off the table, leaving it for the traitorous western separatists. If PMJL is from Quebec, and he has many seats from there, Quebec has more say than if they just go with the Liberals like everyone else. Since we all know strategic voting doesn't really work well riding by riding, they have implemented strategic voting by region.<br /><br />As for the "place holder" candidates, they are there to meet the need to run in all 308 ridings, something the CPC apparently couldn't be bothered with. Yes, they only missed by one, but I do recall hand wringing from you in the last election that some parties must be disqualified because of a single digit number of ridings without a candidate. <br /><br />It is truly laughable to hear CPC supporters whine about MPs who will be little more than trained seals in behaviour due to their inexperience. Hopefully, the training of these MPs will not include the manual on how to disrupt Parliamentary committee work, and they will not be issued gags of the same tightness as those that were issued by the Harpergovernment PMO.<br /><br /><br />As for cap and trade, it is not very different in concept from charging people to dump garbage. Yes, there are scofflaws who dump elsewhere, but most people and businesses pay, and then learn to be more efficient. It is often treated as a cost of doing business, until some entreprenuer finds a way to save on your tipping fees.<br /><br />It's true, it using tax incentives to encourage a desired outcome. But it can work. Just as massive tax breaks for the oil industry built Alberta, using the tax system to encourage innovation will make us leaders in the green and clean fields.liberal supporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129945625510633921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24226508.post-79243365383974418192011-04-28T13:14:29.175-06:002011-04-28T13:14:29.175-06:00"The only people unraveling are the wing nuts..."The only people unraveling are the wing nuts.

One woman said: if Layton ends up PM she is moving to Alberta, next woman said her daughter has been after her to go to the States. I would like to live in Alberta, but I love the Kawarthas and Land-o-Lakes region where I live. Is there any chance when Alberta becomes a country we could annex Saskatchewan and Manitoba (for the fishing). There is a real sense of an unraveling of the country at the thought of an NDP lead government. We remember Bob Rae's NDP government in Ontario and we don't want to live through that again.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139269742542142932noreply@blogger.com
