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.
