TD Canada Trust Infested With Liberals!

Got money in TD Canada Trust? Is your skin crawling and you can't figure out why? Get an itch every time you pass by a TD Canada Trust branch? You might be suffering from a Liberal infestation. It disguises itself as a totally innocent bank, but uses it's disguise to slam the Conservatives. It spouts Liberal talking points and is arrogant enough to think that you will buy it's disguise.

Don't believe me, check out BC Blue!

Ed Clark on controversial greenhouse gas report

Mr. Clark, you will recall, was once nicknamed “Ed the Red” by oil patch executives for his role in coming up with the interventionist 1980 National Energy Program. Last week, Alberta premier Ed Stelmach referred to the program as he reacted to the study funded by TD.

“There won’t be another wealth transfer to Ottawa under my watch, I can tell you,” he said, according to the Edmonton Journal.


So, Red Ed caused all the pain that Alberta endured, and now he is the CEO of TD Canada Trust. Well that sucks.

Red Ed's talents don't end there. He is back slagging Alberta's oilsands, because he didn't destroy our province and wants to finish it off now.

As Globe and Mail reporter Shawn McCarthy has noted, it found that “Ottawa will have to lead a massive restructuring of the Canadian economy, with wealth flowing from the West to the rest of the country, if it is to meet its climate-change targets…The Conservative government’s goal of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by 20 per cent by 2020 can be achieved, but only by limiting growth in Alberta and Saskatchewan.”


He has help. His main man Don Drummond pretends to be neutral but is anything but.

A prominent Canadian economist says Stephane Dion's "Green Shift" carbon tax plan is "a good start" that will leave the general Canadian taxpayer "better off."

"The idea itself is very sensible," Don Drummond, the chief economist at TD Bank, told CTV's Canada AM on Friday.


"There's a growing consensus to do something about emissions. We need to put a price on carbons. This proposes it."

Drummond said that "in most cases" the average Canadian will "be better off" because of income tax breaks and additional federal benefits included in the plan. He also noted that the Liberal plan also addresses a "bizarre situation" on energy taxes.


Bizarre? It is TD Canada Trust that is bizarre. They are infested with Liberals, who think nothing of slagging our Prime Minister. They are so arrogant that they think they can sponsor a report from Suzuki without us smelling a rat.

The TD Bank financed Calgary-based Pembina Institute and Vancouver's David Suzuki Foundation to produce the comprehensive report. The group contracted with respected economic consultants, M.K. Jaccard and Associates Inc., to model the impacts of climate policies; Jaccard has done similar work for the Canadian government.

TD's chief economist, Don Drummond, said the bank has not endorsed any targets, though it has supported a policy of a national emissions cap. He said the bank's interest was to shed light on an area where there has been little informed debate: the likely cost of imposing regulations.


The banks interest is in sucking up to the Liberals. Mo Strong created the IPCC and is in hiding in China because of the Food for Oil fiasco. Climate change can yield the TD bank billions of dollars, that is why they are attacking the Conservatives. You see, the Liberals can not use any of their weapons on PM Harper because he has no ducks in this hunt.

It's not just me who is upset with TD Canada Trust. Sandy has an excellent post. She is too nice to promote a boycott, but I'm not. ING offers excellent savings compared to our banks, so why not switch? Dr Roy weighs in as well.

It's simple. Don't like a bank's CEO who gets millions dictating to you? Move your funds. Granted, TD Canada Trust thinks your little deposits are chicken scratch, they are only interested in the BIG OIL guys, who they turn around and slag to make themselves more green.

Switch your money to a Credit Union or any other small bank. They care about you. We switched our mortgage out of TD Canada Trust to a Credit Union and a month later we got a call from TD Canada Trust offering us a reduction in our mortgage rate. When I pointed out that we had switched our mortgage, they hung up. So much for caring about the average client. Typical arrogant Liberals.

I want Albertans to know that the CEO of TD Canada Trust was the guy who implemented the NEP (National Energy Program) that killed Alberta. TD Canada Trust also paid for a report that wanted to decrease Alberta's revenues. TD Canada Trust is no friend of Albertans. Make sure you are not their friend either. Email them. Let them know you are sick and tired of being the east's whipping boy/girl.

TD Canada Trust doesn't think you taking your $1000 out of their bank is important. If we all take our money out and tell them about it, the arrogant Liberal bank might just wake up. It might not be the tea parties like in the US, but it might be something all Canadians can get behind.

TD BANK In For Some Serious Backlash!

I wonder why the TD Bank would get into the climate change issue with a report that was guaranteed to incite Western Canadians into a frenzy, and frenzy it will be. Do they not understand that Albertan's still remember NEP, that's why they will not vote Liberal. For a bank to get political, which is what they have done by paying for this report, is unCanadian. And Donald Drummond is responsible for this report. He requested it, the TD paid for it.

Mr. Drummond was curious about the regional economic impact of the Conservative government's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 20% below 2006 levels by 2020, and commissioned a study to investigate. So far, so good.

His mistake was to ask two environmental groups, the David Suzuki Foundation and Pembina Institute, to author the report.


Oh, and this is hysterical:

"For anyone to insinuate retribution against a guy as neutral as Don Drummond...it's thuggery," said David McGuinty, the Liberal environment critic.

Mr. Drummond said that TD does not endorse the findings but neither does he think the results of the study were distorted. "We have an obligation to analyze economic matters that will affect our own business and that of our clients. We have always done this," he said.


Thuggery, HA! Hey McGuinty you Liberal crybaby, try this for neutral:

Drummond was once a senior economic adviser to former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin and is someone the current Liberal leader, Stéphane Dion, likes to cite in his speeches in favour of taking action against global warming.

Political hardball? No question. But as Drummond told CBC News, "it's all in the timeframe." If you accept the government's contention that to meet the Kyoto deadline of 2012, big cuts — equivalent to almost 30 per cent of our current greenhouse gas emissions — have to begin in 2008, and the only vehicle for those is a tax.

"This would not be the approach I would recommend," Drummond said. But other techniques would take time to implement, "and that's why I grudgingly accepted that if you are going to have that type of timeframe, which is incredibly tight, you are going to have to go with a very blunt [instrument], such as a huge increase in the carbon tax."

That is why he is not in favour of proceeding with the clean air bill as currently amended either, Drummond added. "I do want to see something done with the environment. [But] I think the economic impact would be so dire that environmental policy would be abandoned."


Yikes that is from CBC, the mouthpiece of the Liberal party, so it must be true!

The TD Bank financed Calgary-based Pembina Institute and Vancouver's David Suzuki Foundation to produce the comprehensive report. The group contracted with respected economic consultants, M.K. Jaccard and Associates Inc., to model the impacts of climate policies; Jaccard has done similar work for the Canadian government.

TD's chief economist, Don Drummond, said the bank has not endorsed any targets, though it has supported a policy of a national emissions cap. He said the bank's interest was to shed light on an area where there has been little informed debate: the likely cost of imposing regulations.


So, Drummond, a Liberal, who supported Dion's carbon tax, gets the TD to pay for this joke of a report by two of the most far left econut organizations in Canada, and the TD doesn't think that it will impact their business with oil companies, and us, the little people? Our money can walk right over to the nearest Alberta Treasury Branch or our Credit Unions. We had already transferred our mortgage to a Credit Union but now it's time for us little people to talk with our money.

This report stinks worse than a dog sprayed by a skunk. Try to get that smelly oil out of the dogs fur, it's very hard to do, but it's very easy for the skunk to spray that oil. That is what the econuts have done. They have fear mongered for over 20 years, and the oil is sticking to politicians, who think that we want our industry stopped because of CO2. What our politicians fail to understand is that we want REAL pollution eliminated not some airy fairy the sky is falling CO2 wealth transfer to third world despots who keep their people in poverty on purpose.

We just happen to have the NDP environment critic in Edmonton, Linda Duncan, she of the university minded, save our earth crowd, willing to kill thousands of jobs in Alberta, because she has a pension from the university already, and will get another one if she is elected again, a double dipping dipper. Wonder how the students studying the environment will feel about having NO prospects for jobs in Alberta, because we demand government funding of these eco-terrorists get cut off if the PC want to get elected again.

David Suzuki was probably kidding when he said Stephen Harper and Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach should be jailed.

No one is sure whether the UN was kidding when it recently named Tinker Bell -- yeah, Tinker Bell, you think I could make this @##% up? -- as an "Honorary Ambassador of Green" for children. But that's only because it's the UN.

Anyway, if you're wondering about the performance of the Kyoto accord, it's been a total disaster because it requires nothing of the vast majority of the world's nations when it comes to cutting their GHG emissions, including the world's number one emitter, China, and the number two emitter, the U.S.

The U.S., unlike Canada and Jean Chretien, was never stupid enough to ratify Kyoto, going back to the Bill Clinton-Al Gore administration. Yep -- Gore.

But, hey, don't think about any of that.


I urge you to call these hypocrites out, because they have a pair of deuces and we have a royal flush. We pay the taxes and they suck off of the goodness of delusional people who think CO2 is a pollutant.

How are all the econuts getting to Copenhagen? Canadian econuts should canoe to Copenhagen if they want any credibility. That is the problem, they have lost credibility and are now a laughing stock. I sense a funeral approaching, rest in peace global warming.

Oh, and TD Canada Trust, don't think we westerners haven't taken measure of you, and you should expect some reduction of deposits in the near future in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Just giving you a heads up.

And The Liberals Tell Us The Media Isn't Biased?

Day after day we see examples of the Liberal biased media cheering for their team, and slagging the Conservatives any chance they get. No wonder their readership is tanking, we do not need the media to TELL us what to think, do, or say. We want the media to report the news...period. What do we get?

Secret federal documents reveal full AECL funding

Sensitive government documents left behind at a CTV News bureau reveal Ottawa has poured far more money into the aging Chalk River nuclear reactor than the public has been told.

The binder of documents was left nearly a week ago at CTV's Ottawa bureau by either Minister of Natural Resources Lisa Raitt or one of her aides. Some of the papers are clearly marked "secret."



So, they kept those "secret" documents for a week? They copied them and now they are publishing select portions from those "secret" documents? You disgusting scum, if that would have been the Liberals you would have quietly returned the documents. Even so, you know you should have returned those documents without looking at them. How small can you be to even look at those documents before you returned them? We teach our children to return items to their rightful owners, but the Liberal media just can't help themselves, like kids in a candy store, they had to peek. No morals, just like the Liberals they support.

Here is another fine example of the Liberal media at work to support their party.

The bank warned that Ottawa's current budget balance projections are off by a significant degree. TD economists Don Drummond and Derek Burleton say in a report the federal government will run a cumulative deficit of roughly $167-billion over five years, or nearly double what Ottawa projected in its most recent budget.


The Liberal media fails to mention that Drummer Boy is a huge Liberal supporter. They use this projection to slam the Conservatives, but remember behind the Finance Minister are all the civil servants that are feeding him this information, so they are also calling those civil servants incompetent dolts. Or are the civil servants feeding the Liberals numbers in advance?

Then the Iggster, using the TD numbers threatens another election:

OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is threatening to introduce a motion of non-confidence in the Conservative government as early as next week.

Lashing out at the minority Conservatives over unemployment insurance, isotopes and the deficit, Ignatieff said his party “will make a serene and clear decision” by midweek about whether it wants to topple the Tories.

The government’s second “report card” on the federal budget’s economic stimulus package is due sometime in June. That could be the catalyst for a non-confidence vote.

“I’m trying to make Parliament work with a government that every day is displaying more flagrant examples of incompetence,” Ignatieff told reporters. He said the Tories had “no plan” to deal with the isotope shortage and were posting staggering deficit numbers.

TD Bank yesterday said the deficit could be more than $172 billion over the next five years.

“The public finances of the country are not under control,” Ignatieff said.

A CAW Workers Voice Of Reason

Interesting stuff about Drummer Boy and his affiliation with the Liberal party, which you will never hear from the Liberal MSM. Bank at TD? Maybe you should think about a nice Credit Union. So we know that big businesses like banks are Liberal supporters and unions are NDP supporters, where does that leave the Conservatives? With a whole bunch of grassroots supporters.

The Liberal media is losing viewership, and they blame it on everything except their Liberal bias. That will not pay any bills. Maybe the Liberal MSM should refuse all car dealership ads, because it was the Conservatives that worked to save the auto industry in Canada, see how that works for them. HA!

UPDATE: From Iggy's own mouth we hear that the Liberals have a friendly relationship with the media:
