Red Ali Selling Out Alberta?

Did she hug BonHomme while she was there selling out Alberta? What does Quebec have to offer Alberta? Nothing. What can Quebec get from Alberta, besides over 8 BILLION a YEAR? The article gives us a hint....

Quebec and Alberta disagree on climate change as well Ottawa’s recent decision to turn its back on the greenhouse-gas emission targets set in the Kyoto accord. Mr. Charest, who has been a strong defender of Kyoto, remains supportive of the development of the Alberta oil sands despite its impact on climate change. Instead, Mr. Charest has focused on Alberta’s efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

“Quebec has in this area private and public resources and it is one area where we can co-operate [with Alberta] to develop new technologies and improve our environmental record,” Mr. Charest said.

Translation: Quebec can get carbon credits from Alberta.

Our premier is selling Alberta out. She is not a supporter of our oil sands, she is intent on creating a name for herself. She is a LIBERAL, get that through your heads Albertans.

What did she promise Quebec for their support? They don't even buy our oil! Let me speculate on how it went.

RED Ali: We will give you BILLIONS of dollars in carbon credits for your doing nothing, because the greens love your hydro power, and you can make Alberta look good.

Charest: Okay. Just don't let Newfoundland and Labrador into our arrangement, we still have years of gouging them left.

Did Red Ali promise Ontario's McGinny the same thing? They are very, very careful not to say "carbon credits, or carbon tax" but is that what The Red is promising? Something got Quebec on side, that is the only thing that makes sense.

My question is why is she going around the country and promoting a "national" energy program? Our resources are ours, not Quebec's or Ontario's. I see no up side for Alberta. I see no reason for her to be promoting this NEP2. I see no reason for voting for this Joe Clark clone. Wake up Alberta, before we turn into the next have not province. Vote Wildrose!

Is A Dynasty About To Tumble?

Alberta politics can be boring, we elect the PC's election after election with majorities. It has been a good thing for Alberta. We are debt free and have no provincial sales tax, so we pay 5% GST and that's it. My Mom was complaining about the 12% HST and the 9% Carbon tax they pay in BC. That carbon tax doesn't go towards actually reducing CO2 or anything stupid like that, it goes into the provincial governments general revenues, to be used however the government wants. They should be having a referendum on the carbon tax, not the HST. The carbon tax is a fake tax designed to suck more money out of taxpayers to the benefit of the government coffers.

Back in Alberta, the politics are heating up. It looks like Wild Rose is gaining momentum and knocking on the PC door. Stelmach retired but is hanging on until the PC leadership race is complete. This is damaging the PC's. Last leadership election, I was hoping for Morton, now, I really don't care who the PC's elect, it will make no difference.

I am switching my vote to the Wild Rose. The PC's are stale, think they are entitled to rule Alberta, and are arrogant like liberals. The Wild Rose at least appear to be actual Conservatives. Is a dynasty about to tumble? I say, yes.

Pride In Canada, What A Concept!

Every time I hear this commercial, I have to watch it. As the Liberals go negative, the Conservatives go for the inspirational ad. The best country in the world! Pride in Canada, what a concept!



This Easter, our PM did actually go to Church, he just didn't broadcast it like Ignatieff did. Funny how it's okay for Ignatieff to go to Church, but not our PM.



Pride in Canada, it's a concept the media doesn't want us to talk about. Speaking of the media, this is an excellent segment on Sun News. Barefaced Bias, the Sloppiest Story and Craziest Column.

Pride in Canada, not cuddling with criminals. Rewarding those who work, by giving them back some of what they have earned, not taking away more to support those who refuse to work. If the NDP are so pro-homeless, then why do they want to increase the heating bills of every Canadian, rich or poor?

Cap and trade is an unconstitutional threat to the country

Under the single umbrella of the national carbon quota regime, a national commission will limit and politicize Canadians’ rights to produce, import, consume or export fossil-fuel derived energy, building products (cement, aluminum, iron and steel, wallboard and other pulp and paper-based products, etc.), fertilizers, industrial chemicals, grains and beef.

The existence of such a commission will eviscerate the powers assigned to the provinces in our current Constitution, forever.

......

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that for purposes of upholding such an intrusion into areas of provincial authority under the “national emergency” test, the feds must be proposing law that is temporary to address an emergency that is short-term in nature. Clearly, the climate-change issue and the carbon quota solution do not meet this test.

If the court was asked to consider a whether a federal carbon quota system is constitutional under either the “trade and commerce” clause or the “national concern” provision (a very large “if”), the federal quota system must, in the Liberal party election platform’s own words, apply “to all sectors of the economy with no exceptions, and … be equitable across all regions of the country.”

In fact, no cap and trade regulation proposed by Environment Canada or any province, to date, complies with this essential requirement.

Pride in Canada does not include trying to break it up. If the NDP eat into Bloc support, good for them. Conservatives can take seats in Quebec, and all across Canada, they can unite us, a coalition would only divide us. It's time for the silent majority to "rise up" and deliver a majority to the Conservatives.

Eco-Scam Paid For BY Taxpayers.

Here's the headline to the latest eco-scam:

Canada could cash in on climate change battle

CALGARY --Canada could cash in on the battle for climate change should countries around the world spend the trillions of dollars the International Energy Agency contends is necessary to boost carbon capture and storage, it was predicted Tuesday.

Businesses and governments need to pony up between US$2.4-trillion and US$3.4-trillion before 2050 for carbon-capture and storage projects, the IEA said in a 46-page report. While Canada is going to have to invest billions to develop CCS techniques, that could translate into big profits down the road.

So, it's a cash cow, but only if we taxpayers supply the cash in the first place. Then the companies can cash in and make money, sounds like a good plan, for the companies. Kind of like we were promised savings with wind and solar, but quickly found out that we were lied to. Not only does it cost us more to install wind and solar, but it hits our pocket book with higher energy costs as well.

I was talking to my Mom this weekend and their gas in BC is at 1.01, ours is at 84.9, could it be the carbon tax that BC implemented? Just what is it getting them? Is their air any cleaner? No, CO2 is not a pollutant. Are they still dumping raw sewage into the ocean in Victoria? Where is that extra money going? Anyone???

Carbon capture and storage has morphed into a darling among industry players, policy wonks, and environmentalists as a key technology necessary to curb climate change. However, critics argue placing enormous amounts of hope on a technology that has not been fully proven is dangerous. Groundwater could become contaminated and the energy exerted building the infrastructure alone could temper the benefits, critics say.

Groundwater could be contaminated? With CO2? It's not a pollutant. Save the BILLIONS and improve our health care here in Alberta. Give us a public and private mix.

This carbon capture idea is just as big a scam as carbon credits. The thing is that it looks good politically. It lets people think they are being eco-friendly when we are wasting money better used to solve real problems, like handicapped people living below the poverty line.

While Canada's oil and gas industry -- the oil sands in particular -- have been slammed as a menace in the fight against climate change, coal-fired power plants are expected to host most CCS projects.

Hey Ontario, you are going to love sending even more money out west so your coal fired plants can continue to operate. I suspect your manufacturing sector will be getting huge orders to help building those carbon capture monsters, so we will all be happy, even the eco-nuts, who can not argue against this technology, because it's exactly what they have been pushing for. In the end it's a little better than a carbon market scam, because at least the money stays here in Canada and provides jobs.

The only losers, the taxpayers of course!

Rest In Pieces, Carbon Tax.

Nobody has mentioned the HUGE hit that environmentalists have taken in this election. It was their one last chance to convince people that a carbon tax would fix "global warming" and that we should continue on the Liberal path to send money to Mo Strong for Kyoto. The carbon tax is now poison to any political party, much like the abortion issue. Any party that tries to impose a carbon tax on Canadians will get slaughtered like unborn babies at the polls, like Dion.

Sorry to see you go carbon tax, you were aborted before you even had a chance to live. You might have been the next Mozart, music to our ears, but you died on the Liberal operating table, torn to pieces, waiting for a voter to support you.

Poor carbon tax, but it was our choice to get rid of you, we could not have supported you, all the increased feeding costs you would have meant, we just couldn't have afforded you. Rest in pieces, carbon tax, if we would have let you live, we might have come to love you, but you were an unexpected inconvenience to our world.

We never expected you, we never wanted you. You were a big problem that would have upset our lives. You would not have actually made our lives better, you would have complicated our lives, made our lives worse instead of better, so rest in pieces, carbon tax.

Carbon tax, died on October 14th, 2008... it has no birth date.

Wake Up Alberta!

You know how the media was telling us the Alberta Liberals were going to make big gains in the last provincial election, and we came out and showed by our vote that they were wrong?

Well it's time for Alberta Conservatives to rise up again, but this time it is more important, one lost seat could mean the difference between a majority and a minority.

I noticed a disturbing trend at the door this weekend, Conservatives were complaisant, and voters for the opposition were really ticked off. They are motivated, our voters, not so much, they think we have this election in the bag. We do not. Every riding is a fight, staying at home is not an option.

Wake up Alberta! Get motivated like the last federal election when we could smell victory, when we hungered for the win, when our hearts beat faster because, finally, after 13 dark years we might, just might, win. And we did, we won a slim minority.

The rush when we did it, when we slayed the Liberal dragon, felt soooo good, but that was 2 and a half years ago, the trumpets are not sounding so loud in our ears, the heart beats have slowed, and we just ASSUME we will turn the whole province blue again.

That is our mistake. We are happy because we are in, finally. Wake up Alberta, our vote counts, even if Quebec and Ontario have the most votes, we have proven that we count too, that we have a voice, without us, the Liberals would have won again. If we sit at home expecting other Conservatives to carry the vote, we will lose. We are complaisant, we think we have power because we have oil, but if we have no voice in Ottawa, Dion gets to kill our jobs and create a new NEPII that will suck the life out of Alberta and Saskatchewan as surely as the first Trudeau NEP did.

We face death by carbon tax from the Liberals and Greens. The NDP want to shut down the oilsands. The only party that will protect energy resources is the Conservative party. Do not sit back and think Alberta is safe because the polls favour the Conservatives, this is not a time to get complaisant, it is a time for action, a time to make our voices heard.

Alberta does not deserve to suffer death by carbon taxes. Remember once a tax is imposed, it is never rescinded, like income taxes and the GST, they will never go away.

Let's remind you of the carbon tax...oops green shift, and Jane Taber shrilling for Dion.



Get out and vote Alberta, never ASSUME!

Alberta Gives The Finger To Dion!

Well, not really, we are too polite for that, not like Trudeau.

If 4 billion in new technology and transportation funding doesn't shut Dion up, nothing will! Problem is, his green shaft would still tax every barrel of oil we produce. His plan doesn't even try to reduce CO2, it will tax all energy industries no matter what they do to reduce emissions. Don't think you are exempt either. The enviroweenies hate this plan as well, listen to the last bit of this video.



4 billion that could go to health care, instead the environmentalists have forced governments and industry to spend money on air. Do not doubt that the enviroweenies will NEVER, ever, be happy, it will NEVER be enough, and the media is pushing this issue as hard as they can, I wonder why? Newspapers are big polluters, all those chemicals, ink, and paper. Oh right, CO2 is pollution, not smog or "dirty" lakes.

The Pembina Institute’s Dan Woynillowicz called it a “clear sign the government is taking climate change seriously,” but he qualified that by noting the province should invest more heavily in renewable energies like wind power, which doesn’t ravage land as much as oil sands or coal mining.

However, not all were impressed. Both Sierra Club and the NDP said Alberta taxpayers shouldn't have to help companies lower their greenhouse-gas emissions with subsidies for carbon capture.

This would be funny if they didn't really mean it! No taxpayer help for new technology? The technology you have been screaming for? You guys are starting to look like women who want a divorce, and all the guys money as well. Pathetic.

The province and its oil industry have been under attack at home and abroad for producing "dirty oil" – a reference to the large amount of greenhouse gases generated by energy-intensive oil sands extraction.

The image has resulted in a flurry of anti oil sands strategies in recent months by various levels of government in the United States that could shrink the market for Canadian crude.

In Canada, the latest attempt to penalize the oil sands industry came from Liberal Leader Stephane Dion, whose carbon tax plan would collect money from producers and redistribute it mostly in Eastern Canada.

You know what? Alberta can sell their "dirty" oil to China and India, no skin off our noses. By the way, how can the east justify their use of "blood" oil from Arab states?

Dion is no environmentalist, like Suzuki, he's a cheap snake oil salesman. I expect Dion, and environmentalists to come out in praise of Alberta's new initiatives. If they don't, then we really know that it's all about wealth redistribution, not the environment.

Fun With Jane!

Jane Taber pretty much gets beat up (figuratively speaking) and Fife scores one against Campbell. Why don't the Liberal MSM understand that they look stupid shilling for the Dion shaft tax? Do they seriously think we are that stupid? Well you decide:



From the sounds of it Dion is going to exempt BC and Quebec because they already have carbon taxes. I suspect that Dion is talking to Danny in Newfoundland and McGuinty must have been offered something he can't refuse, because he is on board all of a sudden.

Guess that leaves Alberta and Saskatchewan to carry the burden for Canada. Nice idea if people were as stupid as the Liberals think they are, but Dion is no Chretien, the right is united, and the separatists are close to non-existent. Whole new ball game Dion, and you have already struck out, you just don't know it. Running around the bases endlessly, just gets you sore feet.

Happy Carbon Tax Day BC!

I'm back, safe and sound in my basement, blogging, after our trip to BC. The buzz there was about the $100 cheques they have been receiving. Are they spending the money? Yes. Are they fooled into thinking this makes the carbon tax okay? NO! Not one single person I talked to thought the carbon tax is a good idea, not one.

Now, you might be thinking, well, she only talked to her family, and that's true, but we are a very diversified family, NDP, Conservative and Liberal, sorry no true green voters, unless you count the under 15's. Not one person, no matter what party they vote for, like the carbon tax, period. The lineups for gas before July first were long and sometimes heated. We waited for 10 minutes to get a pump, and a guy cut us off, thankfully the gas attendant got to that guy before my normally quiet husband got his hands on the guy.

BC is not happy with the carbon tax, no matter how hard the lefty papers are trying to spin it. This will be the litmus test for Dion, and it will fail. When even my Dad, a die hard Liberal, calls the news, "hard left" and biased, you know the game is up for the Liberals in BC.

Most surprising this weekend was my former NDP Uncle, who called PM Harper, "the best PM Canada has ever seen". This is high praise from a former principal of a school in Vancouver. This is what the polls are not showing. My Mom, as a retired accountant, can not understand how the Liberals elected Dion as their leader. She has also stated that she likes "my PM"!

My point? BC might like thinking green, but when it hits their wallets tomorrow, it's going to send lots of federal Conservative votes our way.

Oh, and this poll is very interesting.

Stephane Dion trailed far behind the other leaders, just ahead of Republican presidential nominee John McCain:

Barack Obama: 26 per cent
Stephen Harper: 21 per cent
Hillary Clinton: 16 per cent
Jack Layton: 9 per cent
Gilles Duceppe: 6 per cent
Stephane Dion: 5 per cent
John McCain: 3 per cent

Seeing as Canadians can't vote for Obama, it appears that PM Harper is sitting pretty for the next election. Seriously, Dion polls below all leaders, except McCain? The title is Canadians prefer Obama???? How about Dion is in the tank?? Or, PM Harper would win over Hillary? Or, PM Harper could give Obama serious competition in fight for the White House?? Personally, I think it is a ridiculous fluff piece by lefty CTV.

Now, a 10 hour drive from Kelowna to Edmonton means I'm too tired to download some awesome pictures of the Rockies tonight, including the wildlife we saw, but tomorrow is a whole new day.

Liberals In LaLa Land!

Well the gloves are off. PM Harper called the carbon tax crazy, and to add insult to injury, he called the opposition Liberals, bankrupt intellectually! Too funny! He was really upset with the opposition today. I don't blame him, the opposition is useless.



Dion is making things up as he goes. Now everyone can expect monthly cheques to reduce heating costs, that's what Dion said! He also told Alberta to grab our wallets because we are the problem in this country. Dare he even appear in Alberta this summer? NEP II? That's going to go over well. Our carbon taxes would go to Quebec because they are lucky enough to use hydro power? Not going to happen Dion.

I think PM Harper respects Jack Layton because he has some intellectual brain power, Dion not so much. Watching Dion's interview with Mike Duffy, it was painfully obvious that he just doesn't have any political instincts, and he actually looks like Kermit. (Also never trust a man who has no upper lip, and a weak chin. Hey that's why he looks like Kermit!)

Good job by PM Harper! He gave it to the Liberals with both barrels, no holds barred. Notice how most of the MSM didn't cover this in the news? Not only are the Liberals in LaLa land, the MSM has joined them!

This Little Tidbit Is Being Ignored!

Everybody is talking about the carbon tax, whether it will be revenue neutral or not. But this little tidbit is being ignored, and it's a huge tax grab. From page 40 of the Liberal green plan:



So, they will impose a tariff on all goods not being carbon taxed. Sounds good, now those goods from China will not have a price advantage when entering Canada. They will be taxed on entry.

Let's step back and look at how tariffs work. I know this is boring, but most people think tariffs are good for domestic consumers and producers, not true, consumers lose. Here is a really good article on the softwood lumber tariff, it clearly shows that both countries lose, that consumers lose, and the only ones who gain are governments.

The Economic Effect of Tariffs

In almost all instances the tariff causes a net loss to the economies of both the country imposing the tariff and the country the tariff is imposed on.

Impact to the economy of a country with the tariff imposed on it.
It is easy to see why a foreign tariff hurts the economy of a country. A foreign tariff raises the costs of domestic producers which causes them to sell less in those foreign markets.

....

The Effect of Tariffs on the Country Imposing Them
Except in all but the rarest of instances, tariffs hurt the country that imposes them, as their costs outweigh their benefits. Tariffs are a boon to domestic producers who now face reduced competition in their home market.

...

There are costs to tariffs, however. Now the price of the good with the tariff has increased, the consumer is forced to either buy less of this good or less of some other good. The price increase can be thought of as a reduction in consumer income.

Since consumers are purchasing less, domestic producers in other industries are selling less, causing a decline in the economy.

What this means is that the Liberals are hoping to tax us through a carbon tax, AND impose tariffs on all goods not already carbon taxed in their own country, raising the price of those goods and making the consumer pay more at home. Dion also mentioned a cap and trade system.

We lose with the carbon tax, and we lose with the tariff. Who wins?? The government.
This is exactly what PM Harper stated today, any politician proposing a tax, is just trying to fill government coffers. This needs to be restated over and over until the consumer gets it.

Best of QP: Shift Happens To Liberals

How many Liberal MP's are now scared for their jobs? How can they sell this carbon tax to their supporters, much less none supporters? How many marginal Liberal ridings are there that will now go to the Consertatives? A tax is a tax no matter how you dress it up, and with Garth as their spokesperson, the Liberals are in big trouble. Watch and see if you agree.



The whole thrust of QP today was Liberals bringing up their phoney "scandals" and the Conservatives attacking the carbon tax.

Note to Liberals, you have cried wolf too often, and now Canadians have tuned out.

They Said It First!! Gas Tax!

I usually don't watch CTV's Question Period, but a comment from Fay on a previous post, made me look into it. Was I in for a shock! They started off showing the new Conservative ad, then quickly forgot all about it, in their discussion of....wait for it.....the Liberal GAS TAX!! Yup, I have the evidence.



They start by saying that Dion has promised it won't be a tax on gas, but by the end, they were all calling it a gas tax, not a carbon tax. They also mentioned that it might be both a carbon (GAS) tax, and cap and trade (another tax). Even these Liberal cheerleaders couldn't spin it positively for Dion. I think they were broadsided by the ads, and their actual non-spun attitudes came out in the interview. It was very telling, but I'm sure the Liberal spin machine will be fixed by tomorrow and they will all be back on script. You can see the whole interview, here.

But, they said it first, GAS TAX! I'm not making this up, I'm not allowed to! HA!

Will You Be Taxed?

The new ads made me laugh. They will be effective, no matter how loudly the Liberals complain. Are they upset? Just go to the Globe and Mail and read some of the comments, they are even funnier than the ads.

Here are some examples of how shrill the Liberals are going to get:

Ricky for a Centrist Canada from Canada writes:
Why does the government, when there is no election in sight, find the need to directly attack the leader of the official opposition?

Painting Dion and the LPC as commie tax-and-spenders is ridiculous - just as ridiculous as painting Harper's Cons as wanting to see the planet die.

So why are these ads - directly attacking a sitting MP, party leader, and leader of the official opposition - necessary?
I fail to recall another government in Canada's history that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on politically attacking a member of the House in this way.

Is this the PM we want with a majority?

Oh, but it's okay to attack the Prime Minister of Canada on the Cadman affair, he's fair game, but poor little Dion should not be attacked with his own policy? And no, the GOVERNMENT is not paying for the ads, Conservative supporters of the Conservative party are paying for the ads.

Barry Johnstone from Canada writes: Who cares? The only thing the attack adds do is give us insight into the spiteful nature of Stephen Harper. I would vote for a baboon before I would vote for Harper!

That's the level of intelligence we get from lefties. What about the level of intelligence we get from the Globe? This comment says it all:

Dave Snow from Calgary, Canada writes: Isn't the Canadian Press supposed to engage in"objective journalism"?

"Sneering radio ads."

"Even though they haven't seen the blueprint."

"Just the latest media salvo from the cash-flush Tories."

"Snidely portray Mr. Dion's environmental program as a trick."

"Even though Mr. Dion has explicitly said his carbon tax won't apply to the retail price of gasoline."

This reads like an op-ed in a Liberal-friendly newspaper, not an objective fact briefing. Deplorable as the attack ads may be, they should be panned by columnists and editorials - not by the Canadian Press.

And people wonder why conservative-minded Canadians consistently accuse the media of left-wing bias?

Couldn't agree more.

When you go to the willyoubetricked site, take the quiz, it's under the header of "Will you be taxed". I took the quiz and scored 10 out of 10! Nice! That means I get taxed on everything.

Will this ad campaign be successful? At a time of raising gas prices, the high dollar, and auto layoffs, you bet it will. It will hit the average Canadian right in the gut. Just wait and see what happens when the carbon tax hits BC in July! It's not going to be pretty, especially for people on pensions.

Best of QP: Cadman Tapes Tampered With!

So, I take a day off and go golfing, and Cadman makes a reappearance. Seems the tape was tampered with. Didn't the PM warn the Liberals more than once that they would be sorry if they kept up that line of questioning? Didn't he ask them to remove libelous material from their site? Was he forced to sue them for libel because they wouldn't listen? Yup. The chickens are coming home to roost, and no matter how the MSM tries to spin it, the courts will now decide.



Other than Moore's statement, the PM has a few good ones, like telling Canadians Dion is not fit to be PM. It appears the gloves are off, and the government is not going to take it anymore. It's about time.

Without a new "scandal" the Liberals have nothing to foam at the mouth about. They have NO understanding of the economy or they would not be wanting to impose a carbon tax on Canadians. They are busy trying to emulate Europe, as Europeans are rioting against carbon taxes, not fuel prices like the MSM like to pretend. How will a carbon tax benefit auto workers Dion? Or seniors on fixed incomes? Explain that in your policy platform. Once again the Liberals are caught pandering to special interest/immigrant groups, this time it's the eco-nuts, who love biofuels while people starve.

Expect Dion to unannounce, the not yet announced, carbon tax before it is officially announced. HA!!!

Hurry, Hurry Hard, Dion!

Hurry to get those carbon taxes implemented before the whole scam falls apart! Polar bears are dying, climate is changing, volcanos are erupting, sunspots are disappearing, we need to tax it ALL! Tax all that bad stuff, or we will all die! Or maybe not......



The first of four parts where Professor Bob Carter uses the scientific method on the popular theory with global warming being linked to CO2 levels. He examnines the hypothesis and it fails the test. Inconvenient Truth author Al Gore would find his presentation contradicted by this presentation? Will kyoto`s greenhouse reduction goals be in vain?

Interesting presentation, click the Youtube logo on the video to find parts 2 to 4, well worth watching. He destroys all the "talking points" the UN IPCC and environmentalists use.

More and more actual scientists are coming out to debunk the "global warming" myth. That is why you see more environmentalists getting shriller and shriller, they understand their days of milking the public are over.

Does Dion understand this? Doubtful, the guy is a sociologist pretending to be an environmentalist, like Suzuki. He did nothing about the environment when the Liberals had majorities, now he expects us to believe things will be different?

Thank God the Conservatives are in power, or we would be sending our "mega" bucks to Russia and China to meet Mo Strong's Kyoto targets.

Hurry, hurry hard, Dion, the days of a carbon tax are rapidly disappearing. Sell it now, or never.

H/T to JR from Just Right for leading me to the right site!

You Can't Just Make Things Up!

Unless you are a Liberal! Well, what a treat, we get Suzuki and McGuinty all in one day! Both are arrogant Liberals, who think the world revolves around them. Don't you dare disagree with them, they know everything, we know nothing.



Suzuki still has Mo Strong as an honourary board member. I wonder if Revenue Canada is still checking into the charitable status of his organization?

Seems regular Canadians are not being fooled anymore:

What's the best policy for reducing carbon emissions?

Regulating industry 80%
Carbon tax 20%

So, Dion, how's that carbon tax going? It's a sure winner, go for it! HA!

McGuinty has no idea what the Dion policy is, but when cornered, he uses the "well you haven't seen it yet excuse". Neither have you obviously. By the way, how is your brother Dalton doing with shutting down those coal generators? Thought so! What big mouth liar's both brothers are, and they are so arrogant they don't even blush when they lie.

I've done more for the environment so far this weekend then any Liberal MP has done in 13 years.

Liberal's never met a tax they didn't love!

Your Kids Are Going To Die!

Yes they are, unless you buy carbon credits from Russia and China! You better get with the Dion, save my butt with a carbon tax train, or your children are going to DIE!

Save the seals, save the polar bears, save your children, save the planet, with your tax dollars to econuts, and Dion. I wonder where is the Greenpeace ship? Is that ship flying it's pirate flag and rushing to help the people of Burma? They don't mind breaking Canadian laws to save some seals, so are they doing what pirates do best, break international laws, and provide aid to animals in need? (Yes, we are animals, we just happen to be at the top of the food chain. Well someone had to be, better humans, than the T-Rex.)

Let's see those pictures blazed across our TV screens, let's see those daring greenie weenies breaking through the Burma ship blockade to save, GASP, actual people!

So, where are you Greenpeace? Are humans not in pain, are they not suffering, are they not in need of help? Or is it that the protests against the seal hunt have filled your coffers, and you are too busy partying in the Bahamas?

Crickets..........

The Spin Begins....

with Garth Turner. I don't go to his site, but this comment in a Globe and Mail forum shows how the Liberals hope to spin a Carbon tax. My comments are added in the bolded brackets.

B R from Canada writes: Read what Garth Turner says about it.: (Garth who?, or is that you Garth?)
As you also know, I think the Harper government’s blown its chance to help us on both these fronts. The country has no gutsy plan to deal with greenhouse gas emissions (Biggest greenhouse gas, 95% water vapour, solve that one!) or climate change, while federal spending has gone up, the budget surplus has evaporated (Oh, no more goodies for Liberal friends if they ever get back into power), and income taxes are still far, far too high. (Oh, so let's add a carbon tax to income taxes, great idea)

Practically everyone believes we’re on the precipice of an environmental crisis (No, only lefties think this, the rest of us use our common sense), and every piece of news about oil-soaked ducks (Hey, more ducks get killed by hunters in the fall then 500), cyclones in Burma (Naturally occuring climate change, how about that erupting volcano?), arctic ice melting (Not in the Antarctic, it's growing)and polar bears at risk (At risk of what? Starving because there are too many?)just confirms it.

But many folks worry it’s impossible to take real steps to deal with the threat to our climate without threatening the economy even more. (Oh, getting lots of negative e-mails are you, spin away, it's not going to work.)

Except one guy that I work with – Stephane Dion. (HA! Right, priorities, priorities)

The Liberal leader’s working on a plan which will do the right thing for the environment while actually easing the burden on families. It’s bold, unusual and complicated. (Meaning us peons can't understand it, so just believe me!) It will try to tax the things we don’t want (Notice the use of TRY) , like pollution, emissions and waste, while lowering taxes on the things we do want, like earning income, saving and investing. That’s called tax shifting. (That's called, covering your butt because your leader is clueless, or a tax grab, you pick.)

So expect him to call for a price to be put on carbon. That means companies which dump this crap in the air (CO2 is NOT a pollutant, but mercury in those new swirly light bulbs is) – like oil refiners (Don't drive.), power plants (Sit in the dark), smelters (Don't buy anything, like a big screen TV)– will have to pay for doing so. (NO, the polluters pay, and guess who that is? US, the companies won't pay) This will encourage them to find clearer ways of doing business.

The money raised will then be used to fund tax cuts, to corporations (so they have more money to invest and grow) (OH, you Liberals like tax cuts to corporations now? Better tell Dalton that little tidbit) and to individuals (to offset any increased prices caused by the carbon tax). (NO, NO, NO, the individuals are the ones paying ALL the carbon taxes, talk about the price of food for the poorest going up. If you are giving tax cuts to corporations, this is not going to be revenue neutral for taxpayers.)

Some people think such a plan, while probably long overdue (Right we love more taxes) and well constructed (Better spin harder, I'm not buying), is political suicide. (Yes, finally you get something right, it is political suicide)

God's gift to the Conservatives, the tag team of Dion and Garth. "I'm Liberal, and loving it!" Spin on Garth, what ever happened to MPTV?? Liberals shut you down?

My most important question is, will Dion be using a knife and fork to eat his hotdogs on the BBQ tour this summer, inquiring minds want to know.
