Tory Election Strategy: Screw The Rest, We'll Take The West
Ottawa is eyeing a climate change plan that would allow Alberta's oil sands to continue growing – and polluting – but would clamp down on industries in the rest of the country, multiple sources have told the Toronto Star.

Yet another log on the fire to argue with my Albertan relatives. The 45% functional literacy also gets them mad mad MAD!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Liberals have always loved and favored the west right?
ReplyDeleteIt's about time we got some attention from the government of CANADA not the government of Ontario or Quebec.
BCL, you and all of us should call it what it is, a reverse NEP. Maybe NEP II: Alberta's Revenge.
ReplyDeleteI thought for a minute this was parody, almost unbelievable...
ReplyDeleteBut then it not being April 1st
and
it came from the Star (not the Onion)
and
well this IS the Bloc-Harper gov't
so...
I smell a "ballot question"
Boy, Prairie Kid - you sound like a grammar school kid - mummy you pay more attention to him than me.
ReplyDeleteTalk about an OLD chip on the shoulders.
someone's bitter eh PK?
ReplyDeleteHe's not bitter. He's colicky.
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight. When Liberal governments spend mega millions on Ontario and Quebec everything is as it should be. But heaven forbid they favor Alberta, they are being biased.
ReplyDeleteEverything is good in Liberal-land. Everything revolves around the east.
And Ti-Guy, don't you have any sympathies for your old stomping ground . . . the NDP? It wasn't too long ago you were bashing the Liberals.
Lets see now. First it was the NDP and they bombed. Then you jumped to the Liberals and they went into the tank. I guess it's the Greens or the Cons and I think I know which way you lean so "Hello Liz May".
But heaven forbid they favor Alberta, they are being biased.
ReplyDeleteIf Harper and co. want to try to screw Ontario and Quebec, fine. It is a suicidal election strategy and so I endorse it wholeheartedly.

ReplyDeleteSo Ti-Guy . . . you're buddy buddy interaction with McClelland was all a facade?
ReplyDeleteSome people have long memories.
and some people seem to hold grudges...
ReplyDeleteI'm just sayin...

ReplyDeleteHe had one of the first political blogs in Canada. He's a progressive and therefore, focuses on a lot of issues that I find interesting. His political affiliation matters little to me.
You obviously weren't paying attention closely enough when you were stalking me over at My Blahg You should close the porn windows when you're doing that; it would help you focus.
Divisiveness on the Cons' part. Regional, cultural, etc. That's all they know and that's all they have to bring to the national table. Iggy should wipe the floor with them in November.
ReplyDeleteThe issue here really isn't who is going to pay the price for pollution because eventually we all are, thanks to climate change. So far, Ignatieff has little to say on how the Liberals will "do better", other than some vague references to CCS and "cleaning up" the Tar Sands. IMO, he should be focusing on strategies to develop a green economy, not one based on oil production.
ReplyDeleteIgnatieff has already embraced the oilsands as a fundamental component to Canada's, not just the west's, economic prosperity as BCL has reluctantly acknowledged. That debate is over apart from the brain dead warmer/dipper community.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the Liberals will look to some method to fast track tentative plans to employ small nukes to replace nat gas in the oilsand separation process. But with gas at historic low price now that might be difficult.
frank d, all the libs have to do is jump in and help speed up the development of the newer technologies out there that are now being tested. The feds should partner with a few of the better ones that meet Kyoto environmental standards.
ReplyDeleteThat's not divisive but shows Canada's intention on being green and still beng able to produce our natural resources
