Friday, September 19th, 2008Say what?
Liberal Leader Stephane Dion said today that his Green Shift plan featuring a controversial carbon tax is not a major part of his election platform.
So let me get this straight… Dion wants to fundamentally ‘shift’ the way Canadians are taxed by introducing $15 Billion in new carbon taxes (to start) which our economy can ill afford, [...]
Dion Knows What’s Best For Us!
Friday, June 27th, 2008Since introducing his Behaviour Modification and Wealth Transfer plan, also know as the Green Shift, Liberal leader Stephane Dion has been trying to sell Canadians on the merits of taxing our economy out of existence in the name of reducing Canada’s contribution to global CO2 emissions.

Harris asks “When you think about the issue of climate change, do you see it more as …?”
A unique environmental problem that we need [...]
Hey Dalton… You’re Not Helping the Economy!
Monday, December 10th, 2007Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty continued his efforts today to turn Ontario into a ‘have not’ province.
The manufacturing sector, which has long been the economic engine of Ontario, has been under significant pressure in recent years. A high Canadian dollar has introduced competitive pressures that make it more difficult to compete with manufacturers in the USA.

The Cartoons Continue
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007This is an update to a post I made couple of months ago about the cartoon world of environmentalism. I’ve copied my original post below, but basically it talks about my observation that environmentalists like to treat Canadians like they’re children.
Among other things, most environmental initives in my town seem to have a cartoon mascot [...]
