It's tangible enough to get your knickers in a twist.
Oh- I DO THINK the people of B.C. are enraged by the LIE-beral carbon crap and trade scam- its just that LIE-beral friendly media CHOSES NOT to tell us about it!
Here is an article illustrating the bold drivel and mindless parroting of useless slogans that Green Party airheads and power mad LIE-berals expect will blind the public to their insanity- or bore them into dull witted complacency- and keep the Hogs in power- in defiance of reason and logic. With some comments of my own in brackets):
Bold Climate Action. Because we live here.
Climate change is both the biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity that Canada has ever faced. While the consequences of failing to address climate change would be catastrophic, our transition to a green, sustainable economy will create good local jobs, shorter commutes, more livable cities, and cleaner air and water.
(Climate change is “opportunity” It is only so for LIE-berals who will use it as an excuse for the biggest transfer of wealth and privilege in history! Simply taxing carbon fuel use has proven to be USELESS! LIE-berals modelled their carbon crap and trade scam on the now 14 year old European model that only cleans cash from wallets and leaves the dirt in the air! It is ONLY a wonderful windfall for govts seeking new sources of gravy! And of course civil service union Hogs use that extra gravy to MAINTAIN their already LARGE carbon foot print!)
(Think of it: all those atv`s, riding lawn mowers, gas powered leaf blowers, weed wackers, sea- doos and those fuel gulping rides in airplanes to Florida golf courses in January! It is environmentally more sensitive to drive a large SUV to Florida than to fly in an airplane- but driving is not convenient for Hogs! LIE-berals INSIST that it is some waitress who insists on driving her car to and from her late night work shift- because she does not feel safe on streets patrolled by thugs released by LIE-beral judges with a slap on the wrist in exchange for major crimes- who is to blame for ALL our environmental troubles!)
(LIE-berals deceive us most shamefully in all matters pollution related! They know that about 50 percent of Toronto air pollution comes from U.S. mid-west and yet they claim their action in closing 2 coal burning electric generators and opening up a bunch of mouldy green solar and wind generators- while turning our electrical system into a giant LIE-beral slush fund- has made Ontari-owe air better! LIE-berals IGNORE the 140 coal burning plants that United States govt closed in the same time period!)
(In fact- the effect of the LIE-beral mouldy green power is much diminished because it is so unreliable that fossil fueled natural gas plants MUST be kept fully charged and ready to go at a moments notice- burning at full power 24/7 to be ready to take over instantly when the mouldy green fails! It would have been more sound environmentally just to use the natural gas plants and not produced that huge toxic plume that is the natural byproduct of all the industrial activity needed to produce the concrete, steel, carbon fibre rotor blades and many miles of aluminum wiring to install and hook up the mouldy green!)
Our plan is to move to the virtual elimination of fossil fuel use in Canada by mid-century. Our short-term target is 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, while we are calling for 80 percent reductions below 1990 levels by 2050. These are ambitious targets, yet the scale and urgency of this challenge demands nothing less. As Canadians, we will rise to this challenge and, in doing so, create a strong, stable, and prosperous economy today and for our children and grandchildren tomorrow.
(Various economists have written of the staggering economic consequences if LIE-berals continue down their muddled and very selfish path! The LIE-beral carbon crap and trade plan is nothing but a giant slush fund to supply more gravy to civil service union Hogs! Carbon crap and trade merely assures that people who already have the smallest carbon foot print- because they are poor- will have to pay even more tax! While at the same time LIE-berals will be using that new gravy flow to feed Sunshine List Hogs even more gravy so they can keep their gas guzzling toys fully fueled up! The LIE-beral carbon crap plan is sordid combination of environmental fraud and tax ponzi scheme of spectacular size!)
(WE need some sensible priorities for carbon! Heating our homes is more necessary than sending Hogs on a trip to Disneyland! Heating and lighting our workplace is higher priority- or ought to be- than paying Hogs so richly they can retire at age 55 and fly to Florida in January to play golf! People living in smaller urban centres with no public transit are more entitled to drive to work using fossil fuel than Hogs ripping around on their atv`s, sea-doos and ski-doos! It is cheaper environmentally for Ontari-owe to buy fruits and vegetables from the Niagara and Holland Marsh areas- instead of importing from Chile and California- so why are LIE-beral policies deliberately killing LOCAL farmers? If the environment is to be saved then govt is going to have to set some honest priorities instead of the muddled fakery now in place! )
For Canadians to benefit from this transition, we need to elect Green Members of Parliament. Only Green MPs will stand up to defend our coastlines from increased tanker traffic, our rivers and parks from reckless pipeline projects, and our economy from further pursuit of high-risk extractive schemes that threaten Canada’s long-term prosperity. Only Green MPs will position our economy to reap the full benefits of the inevitable global shift to a fossil-fuel free economy.
(Currently China imports massive quantities of coal from Australia- would it be more environmentally sound if they could buy natural gas from western Canada? LIE-berals insist that natural gas burns MUCH CLEANER than coal- so why not build gas pipelines to the coasts and make the CLEAN Cdn fuel available to the world? Making greater efforts to export Cdn gas might even persuade Yankees to give up their dirty gas fracking and buy Cdn instead? LIE-beral hypocrites have NOT thought any of their policy through- as usual- simply because they are focused ONLY ON GRAVY!)
It is time for Canada to take bold climate action.
Because we live here, our top environmental priorities are to: Defend our coastal waters from risky pipelines and oil tankers.
(How is it that LIE-berals and Greens have no problem with importing oil to eastern Canada using tankers running up the ENTIRE Atlantic coast from Venezuela yet go berserk over the same ships running straight across the Pacific from B.C. to China and back? Tankers shipping fossil fuel from west coast to Chinese markets will spend much less time close to shore than their eastern counterparts! And why bother shipping oil from Venezuela? Why not pipe it into eastern Canada from Alberta- with the entire production in carefully regulated Cdn hands? With a recent news report even telling us that LIE-beral oil production regulations are ALREADY MUCH TOUGHER than what is in place in Venezuela! Apparently LIE-berals have gravy in their eyes and cannot see?)
Only Green MPs will put our coastal communities first by standing against all new raw bitumen export schemes.
Kinder Morgan proposes a seven-fold increase in oil sands tanker traffic through Vancouver and Burnaby, while Energy East proposes to increase tanker traffic through the Bay of Fundy. These tankers would carry bitumen from the oil sands, mixed with toxic diluents to make it flow, a mixture that is impossible to clean up if spilled.
(And why mention Bay of Fundy when pipeline supporters are currently talking only of land based facilities that serve an eastern CDN market only? The ONLY new market for Alberta oil east of Kenora is Canadian! And there are ALREADY tankers from Venezuela off our east coast- not purchasing Venezuelan oil means LESS tankers in Bay of Fundy! On top of which it is not practical to ship tar sands oil to China from New Brunswick as a quick look at a world map would show! As for pipe line spills- these CAN be avoided by careful and HONEST regulation that demanded preventative maintenance to eliminate spills rather major clean ups after a spill!)
A single tanker accident would ruin our coast and the lives and livelihoods that depend on its health. That is why we recognize that the economic, social and environmental consequences of approving these projects is simply too high. We will take a stand and defend our coastline.
(Again- careful regulation and honest safety measures CAN prevent accidents- otherwise how do Venezuelan tankers pass through Florida hurricane season safely on a regular basis?)
Poll after poll shows that the people of the West Coast will not allow this risky project. More than half of British Columbians say they oppose the Kinder Morgan expansion, including more than three-quarters of young British Columbians. Even the Ontario Energy Board has ruled that Energy East poses more risks than benefits. While the old parties use complaints about process to avoid taking a stand, or even fast track and support these projects outright, the Green Party is the only party standing up for the people and communities threatened by these projects.
(Yes- a LARGE group of people who think they can ride this anti oil stance to personal profit are opposed to any environmental approach that might derail their very selfish personal plans!)
Protecting existing jobs in the industry, creating new jobs by upgrading and refining existing production, and providing skills training for workers who have been laid off or who want to transition to more stable, long-term jobs. This strategy (more Peter Lougheed and less Ralph Klein) would actually help Alberta’s economy avoid the disruptive boom and bust cycle.
(SO LIE-berals want to have more top down control of the environment and the economy! Has anybody been reading up on the problems that TTC has been having with its busses and street cars? Quality control is a huge issue with new vehicles from Bombardier apparently requiring much more maintenance than TTC counted on- it’s a sign of govt influence whenever we see a company get huge grants- we see quality control going WAY DOWN! One has only to think of the now dead Urban Transport Development Company- the beloved brain child of LIE-berals and NDPers- who now support Green Party style nonsense- that went bankrupt after sucking in huge piles of tax money! Or we could discuss Petro Canada- that giant LIE-beral fiscal black hole that could not produce a profit even though it was offered FREE ACCESS to oil fields that private companies PAID to get access to- AND the private companies made a profit on what THEY bought- while Petro Canada Hogs drowned in red ink! Govt could not run a chip truck at as profit- not even if you gave them the potatoes for FREE!)
Given climate realities and volatile international oil prices, expanding oil sands production is simply not on. Most of the bitumen in the Alberta oil sands must remain in the ground. We will create new jobs in Canada’s oil and gas sector by refining the product we already produce, rather than shipping it out raw for refining in other countries.
(Real world market demands will dictate what happens in the oil sands- unless politicians meddle for selfish reasons! LIE-berals dream in technicolour if they think they can “create” new jobs in Cdn oil and gas sector while stifling exports! There are already LONG TERM contracts in place that ensure that LIE-berals CANNOT meddle in oil production unless they want to end up like Alberta Ndpers- and are forced to sue themselves because they did not read those long term contracts- yes you rrad that right- various Ministries in Alberta govt are SUING each other for screwing up contracts for electricity! NDPers and Greens are the less intelligent, less shrewd and cunning cousins of slimy LIE-berals!)
In addition to increasing our refining capacity, Canada should be leading the global clean technology industry – an industry that has boomed in other countries like Germany, where over 1.4 million clean-tech jobs generate over 11 percent of the country’s GDP.
(And WHY would LIE-berals want to INCREASE our refining capacity if there is no way to export the resulting new product? And if green jobs are so wonderful then why can they ONLY EXIST by sucking up VAST govt subsidies? We have only to look at the LIE-beral mandated conversion of a coal burning plant in the Thunder Bay area- it now burns “bio-mass” which is a fancy way of saying GARBAGE- so that Cdns do not get excited about incinerators and the highly poisonous by product Dioxin! And there is no North American producers of biomass so LIE-berals are importing the crap from Europe- without bothering to discuss the HUGE carbon foot print involved! But hey- LIE-berals DID save 60 union Hog jobs at the generating plant- but its too bad the electricity it now produces costs TWENTY FIVE TIMES MORE than other forms of generation!)
(And there is the heart of the Green “Revolution” they offer us only massive new taxes to pay for privileged Hog gravy and huge govt interference in every aspect of our lives as LIE-berals and their allies cling to power at any price! And the air STAYS DIRTY even as our wallets are emptied!)
