How Goodale can make such bald-face lies and expect nobody is going to research his comments?
"Yet, in barely two years, Mr. Harper has obliterated that margin of fiscal security. He has taken this nation to the brink of a deficit -- the first in more than a decade. And it's deliberate. It's his ideological obsession to stop the federal government from being an instrument for good in the lives of ordinary Canadians."
First, how exactly does a $13.7 billion surplus in 2008 obliterate the margin of fiscal security?
Secondly, what sort of manifesto are you reading from that requires the federal government to be an instrument of "good in the lives of ordinary Canadians"? Who is the one with ideological obsessions, Ralph?
To prove my point about socialistic tendencies, in the same article...
"Even when the Harper government had a $13-billion Liberal surplus on its hands, he cut the Court Challenges program, which helped the less wealthy access their constitutional Charter rights; adult literacy services; the advocacy of women's equality; historic measures to bridge gaps between aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadians; funding for child care spaces; a credible plan to fight climate change (?); student aid; and more."
Was Goodale a former finance minister, or a Liberal version of Che Guevara?
One thing is for certain. Based on the past few days with the Green Shift proposal, if the Liberals ever manage implement that plan, surpluses will be non-existent as a result of the damage to the economy it will inflict.
But then again, maybe that's what Goodale and the Liberals really want; an unhealthy reliance of Canadians on the LPOC ...

The North Gets It
"The Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Canada's leading Inuit organization all expressed worries this weekend about how such a plan would impact those in the North who depend on emission-spewing diesel generators to keep the lights on through the long, dark arctic winters."
The most interesting aspect of this is that the North is generally considered the most vulnerable to climate changes when it comes to the "effects" of man-made global warming.
Polar bears are supposedly vanishing, the ice is receding, and the food sources are changing for the Inuit. But the Inuit, that have been in the North for hundreds of years, and have quite ably adapted to previous climate changes and survived.
Yet, the Premiers of all three northern territories are speaking out against this destructive plan. Why would they ignore a large part of their collective constituencies?
It's the economy, stupid! The northern Premiers realize that the Green Shift plan has nothing to do with climate change, and everything to do with wealth distribution and vote buying for the East.

Ralph Goodale on Carbon Taxes - Newstalk 980 June 20th/2008
Goodale on Dave Arnold - June 20th
"The corporate responsibility for making those emissions often lies outside of Saskatchewan, with coal companies headquartered in Toronto, or with oil companies headquartered in Alberta. So in fact the burden for paying for those emissions will fall outside of Saskatchewan, because the tax liability is outside of Saskatchewan. But the tax benefits flow back to individual Saskatchewan people."
Funny, I just went through the Coal Association of Canada membership list and found the following;

- Head Offices listed in ON - 7
- Head Offices listed in PQ - 2
- Head Offices listed in NS - 2
- Head Offices in the US - 5
- Head Offices listed in BC - 33
- Head Offices listed in AB - 29
The Green Shift plan is as blatant an attack on the West as has ever has been devised by the Liberal Party of Canada.
By the way Ralph, as goes Alberta, so goes Saskatchewan.
The idea of appealing to a constituency that would enjoy tax cuts, while others experienced the pain of this carbon tax plan is not only misleading, but it flies in the face of Saskatchewan values.
How dare Goodale imply that we would relish benefiting at others misfortunes!
That is a Liberal Party value, NOT a Saskatchewan value.

Welcome To The All Spin Zone
Harper is planning on hiking fuel costs? You have got to be kidding...
What exactly is Green Shift going to do to fuel costs?
This is vintage Goodale. It's all about spin...
How can Goodale claim the Conservatives will hike fuel prices when Green Shift will have a devastating effect on the province he represents? What will this misguided plan do to the price of fuel and subsequently all goods and services if, God forbid, Dion ever gets elected?
When is Ralph going to stand up for the people of Saskatchewan and speak out against this destructive Liberal plan?

"Mr. Goodale's statement is completely and utterly false"
"More hurtful, though, than the semi-comical promise to kick Ralph Goodale are the repeated claims that Ralph Goodale can't seem to tell the truth."

The Cadman Affair
Goodale blows hot air over the Cadman affair...
No charges over Cadman affair. Oops!
“The Liberals have made fabricated accusations. Very soon Liberals will see how big of a legal problem they have created for themselves.”
One can only hope...

Ralph's Tin Foil Hat
Whereas Ralph speculates what the Conservatives may be doing to the economy, the Liberals are trying to destroy it, right in front of our eyes...
"So what’s he doing writing conspiratorial claptrap like this letter to the Regina Leader-Post? It appears Hillary Clinton’s “vast right-wing conspiracy” has wound its way as far as Wascana, the Saskatchewan riding Mr. Goodale represents. He now professes to believe that the Prime Minister (in league no doubt with international financiers, the Trilateral Commission, and unscrupulous Vatican bankers) is conspiring to destroy the economy of the nation, the better to achieve his ultimate goal of destroying the federal government itself."

What's Dion's Definition of "Beneficial"?
To my thinking, destroying an economy has never been seen as beneficial, unless you are seen as the enemy....
"If we do this plan, Alberta and Saskatchewan will be better off 10 years from now than if we don't do this plan," Mr. Dion said. "Their economies will be more diversified, their universities will be at the centre of something big happening around the world, and investments will grow."
He rejected the notion that the two highest polluting provinces having to contend with a greater carbon tax burden could result in Western alienation.
"To do the right thing will be beneficial for them," Mr. Dion told The Globe and Mail's editorial board. "I care about Alberta and Saskatchewan. I know many people who want to do the right thing. Many will know that it will create jobs there - green jobs."
Yup, I can see it now... riggers using their F-350 dualies to pick up styrofoam egg containers for recycling.

Liberal Values Explained
Trademark heist lays bare true Liberal values
"By appropriating a company's good name for their own purposes, the Liberals have violated not only the company but the law. Who do they think they are? How would they like it if some unseemly business styled itself as the Liberal Party of Canada?
...
Damages in the meantime to the company and its image are inestimable. No amount of explanation will ever be sufficient to make clear that there is no affiliation.
In their zeal to advance their own cause, the Dion Liberals are stepping on innocent Canadians. This reveals as much about the party's character as its latest environment plan."
The SP nailed it...

Goodale Defends the Destruction of Sask
Ralph Goodale, the man who desperately desires the taste of power once more, even if it destroys the West to gain votes in Ontario, defends Dion`s wealth distribution plan.
"Goodale, who represents the Regina-area Wascana seat in Parliament, came out fighting in a speech that defended a recently unveiled Liberal plan for a carbon tax, which some people believe would have a devastating impact on the province's resource-based economy and also on Goodale's re-election prospects.
The Conservatives are trying "to dumb down" the debate on the Liberals' green plan by resorting to "juvenile language and personal vilification" instead of rational discussion, Goodale charged."
Let me try to dumb it down as well. "Green Shift" is an attempt at wealth distribution from oil, gas and mining producers in the West to the manufacturing sectors in Ontario as a way to garner votes for another Liberal government.
If the industries of the provinces were reversed, this plan would have never seen the light of day.
