Welcome back!

Here in BC we’re already seeing the repercussions of implementing an extra cost on energy. In the northern part of the province the switch from expensive oil furnaces to cheaper traditional wood stoves has seen a revival since the tax was introduced in July.
The carbon released by a wood stove, though certainly natural, is higher that oil burning furnaces. So the purpose of the tax, to reduce carbon emissions, has actually backfired and introduced an unplanned increase in atmospheric carbon.
The provincial Liberals have made the mistake of implementing the carbon tax on the same week as the price of gas rose to $1.49 a litre. During the first week of July the talk show lines were burning with anger from concerned citizens wondering when the ever growing energy carbon tax cost were going to end. We’ve seen the cost of everything from automotive fuel to heating and bread rise dramatically with no end in sight.
Now Mr. Dion has an even more pervasive carbon tax plan to sell to Canadians. He also mentioned that it wont cost anything to implement. If you believe that just remember the gun registry. The federal Liberals under estimated the project, which was meant to cost approximately $119 million, ended up costing over two billion dollars to implement. Documents obtained by the CBC now estimate the program cost at $2 billion. Now guns were a very limited subject. Imagine the cost of implementing a tax on something as pervasive in everyday life as energy. If he ever does introduce his version of the BC carbon fiasco I would suggest Mr. Dion crouch down as low as possible as not to get hit by the coprolite as it hits the fan.
The Liberal party in BC enjoyed a 12 point lead over the NDP before the introduction of the carbon tax. They are now very worried that their approval numbers may approach their rivals. In recent “man on the street” interviews, ordinary people are actually saying that they will not vote in the next provincial election because the two parties are both bowing at the same carbon tax alter. The voters of BC are extremely worried that the government of the day is willing to sacrifice their livelihoods and lifestyle to the politically expedient surrender of the environmentally charged carbon tax.
Mr. Dion thinks he can do better than Mr. Campbell.
Good luck with that Mr. Dion.
