A Fall Election?

Lorne Gunter is the last columnist to lay waste to Green Shift.

The more this plan is explained by Liberal MP's, the more that Canadians are questioning the actual intent of the program. Despite Ralph Goodale's false claims that Saskatchewan will be net benefactors in the long run, the damage this plan will do to the economy will be immense.

This morning on JGL, Gormley adds up the math for MP Ken Boschcoff. Of the $15 billion in taxes generated, only $3 billion will actually be used for green projects. The rest will be used for Liberal social programs, like universal day care. Since Saskatchewan is no longer dependent on Ottawa for equalization and only has approximately 3% of the population, but contributes with Alberta to produce 40% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions, how on earth could this even out?

Both Dion and Goodale proclaimed that our universities would benefit from green energy R/D, but if we have 3% of the money allocated of the $3 billion, that amounts to $90 million dollars. But our companies and industries will be taxed roughly $3 billion.

Goodale and company are trying to sell us a bill of goods that will destroy those of us that don't have a federal MP's pension to fall back on.

Prime Minister Harper and the Conservatives need trigger a fall election and eliminate the threat of Dion, the Liberals and Green Shift.

And Saskatchewan needs to make Ralph pay politically for his defense of the indefensible.
