"A Crock of Unmitigated Horsefeathers"

Who actually uses a term like that? Oh, I forgot... Ralph Goodale. What does that term actually mean?

...

"I don't know the environmental benefit of some of these initiatives, especially when there aren't even reduction targets attached to some of them. We're going to defend our economies regardless of the federal interests here." (Brad Wall)

...

"Goodale said Wall's depiction of a capital outflow is also wrong, noting the carbon tax will apply on the wholesale side, meaning the burden is distributed among the province.


"Their arithmetic is just completely wrong, mistaken and false," said Goodale from the campaign trail in Regina's Wascana riding."

...

The problem is nobody has seen the arithmetic on Green Shift. Let's see the numbers, Ralph.

(As an aside, part of the reason we started this blog is that nobody in the Regina media challenges Ralph by asking the simple question, "OK, Ralph show us how the arithmetic is wrong. Show us some concrete numbers.)

One of the additional problems is that the plan keeps changing, partly due to Liberal candidates (not Ralph) who have pressured Dion to change it because they see what the plan is doing to them on the doorsteps.

Not that I need to remind you, but Ralph is one of the few that has never suggested a change in Green Shift regardless of how much the current structure was going to hurt Saskatchewan.

We all need Ralph to 23 skidoo...
