Boycott Green Money Suckers.

Are you as sick and tired as I am of all the bogus "green" companies? TD offers a "green" mortgage. Everywhere you go, it's all about "green". These corporations are sucking extra cash out of you with every "green" initiative they expound.

One of my readers hits the mark:

We are witnessing the final death throes of the enviro-weenie movement. Expect green subsidies to go the way of the dodo bird. In tough economic times politicians keen on remaining employed will have to heed the electorates' desire to cut all the fluff policies which only exist because of optics. This includes hidden environmental taxes by corporations who have jumped on the bandwagon of the feel good platitudes of having an "environmental stewardship" policy in their mission statements, passing along these extra costs onto their customers. As more reports come out showing the futility of the green movement and as more countries teeter on insolvency, Al Gore and David Suzuki are about to become footnotes in history. Eventually the public wises up and the snake oil purveyors are quickly run out of town. I sense that the good people of Ontario are sharpening their pitch forks right now! (And hopefully Alberta with all this carbon capture and windmill claptrap).

I couldn't agree more Eskimo! Too bad politicians are always years behind the voters. GE is promoting light bulbs with mercury that cost 10 times what conventional light bulbs do, and the politicians are supporting them. This shows you how powerful lobby groups can be. The NDP is full of union supporters, which is fine, as long as those unions are not allowed to use union fees to promote a political party. Unions fees are mandatory, they are not a choice. Funny how lefties want choice in abortion, but refuse to allow that same choice in paying union fees.  Hypocrites in the extreme.

I want REAL pollution of our air, lakes and land to be addressed by our politicians. I do not ever want to send REAL dollars to FAKE environmental causes. Mo Strong started this mess, and made millions, so did Suzuki and Gore. Evil lurks in power hunger people. They do not care about us, they care about their causes only as long as those causes are making them money.

What has really upset the elites is that PM Harper owes none of them any favours. He is his own man and the Conservative party was build by the little people, us voters, NOT the elites. I hope he remembers that now that he has a majority.

Corporations are using being "green" as a marketing ploy to increase their profits by charging us more. It's time for us to show them we will not be hoodwinked by their slick ads. It's time to boycott the phony "green" agenda of corporations. They suck money out of us every time we buy their products, just because they are supposedly "green".  Don't buy it, and tell them why you will not buy their products anymore.

The Power Of The Boycott!

Conservatives don't like to tell other people how to live their lives. So the idea of going out and protesting is foreign to us. Same goes for boycotting something. Lefties on the other hand use both protesting and boycotting as a powerful tool to get what they want.

It can be effective (short term) like the prorogue scheme that was led by the opposition parties. It can also go seriously wrong like during the Olympics when the protesters themselves were hijacked by even more extreme protesters. Luckily the protesters at the Olympics have cooled off and protests are now close to none existent. Funny how moderate (is there such a thing?)protesters are now scared to protest because the hard line lefties might show up and break more windows and attack more police officers. Violence is not the Canadian way. Peaceful protests are democratic, hooligans breaking windows is not. It's good that Olympic protesters realize that the hooligans do more damage to their causes then help.

Why should a small proportion of people be able to dictate to the majority? Special interest groups use their voices by protesting and gaining the media attention. Protesting is changing as the facebook group on proroguing indicates, and Conservatives are catching on. Case in point, Bed, Bath and Beyond. They backed off within a day of coming out and stating their were boycotting Alberta's "dirty" oil. Why?

Rex Murphy: Bed, Bath & Beyond good sense

You know, some of their towels are not as woolly as this train of mush. “Our third-party transportation providers” — what would those be … truckers? And what does it possibly mean “to be aware of the issues associated with fuels generally”? That they are flammable? How much they cost? That they help things to run? And for sheer doughy padding, consider, “we have asked them to lessen their use of fuels which they know would be counter to this goal, where feasible.” It has all the clarity and solidity of a spring swamp wrapped in a blanket of fog.

My guess is the wavelet of backlash from Alberta at the ForestEthics press release was sufficient to haul the monks of BBB BBB BBB out of the eco-choir. BBB BBB BBB may have thought that sending a little incense to the Al Gore contingent of The Science is Settled and The Himalayan Glaciers are Toast Church of Global Warming (pre-Climategate Division) would titillate the balance sheet among the eco-fervent. But they quickly thought better of it. Oh that old Gloria Mundi. How Sic it Transits.

So, Alberta citizens got on their computers and emailed Bedbugs and gave them an earful. Good for them. It shows that we can have an impact without having to get out in the streets and protest.

Look at the board of directors for Forest Ethics. They are all lefty do gooders with an agenda. Notice how they own "eco-friendly" companies? So, what's in it for them? Profits. That "dirty" word, that allows them to live high on the hog by pressuring companies into submission, while they rake in the profits from their own capitalist businesses. Hypocritical much?



Interesting that Forest Ethics gets 77% of their money from grants which they fail to detail in their financial report. This organization clearly has no clue what ethics are all about. Let's find out who they get their money from, and start protesting them. We are now clearly seeing how these organizations survive, not by the average citizens support, but by sucking on the government teat.

It's time for us to play their game. It's time for us to start boycotting their businesses, and it's time for us to start supporting those businesses that are driving our economic engine.

My boycott list so far:

Bed, Bath and Beyond
Whole Foods
TD Canada Trust
Google
HP

I am sure you can help me add to the list. I would also like a list of companies that are buy worthy, those that are not buying into the global warming garbage. Let's show them the power of the boycott, not by protesting in the streets, but by protesting with our money.

So, Where's Iggy??

It appears that the Liberal leader is in Vancouver enjoying the Olympics. Shouldn't he be in Ottawa holding fake meetings with Liberal supporters disguised as experts?

Like the CEO of TD Canada Trust? Maybe if us little peons started emailing the bank and withdrawing our meager little savings we might have an impact. We transferred our mortgage a few years ago to a Credit Union and we couldn't be happier. They actually know our names and are happy to have our business.

Meanwhile our Prime Minister is in Haiti seeing what Canada can do to help.



Rabid lefties just can't give our Prime Minister any credit, and frankly the MSM are looking like fools by continuing with this "not working" BS when Iggy is in Vancouver, "not working".

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!

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.
