I guess your tinfoil needed changing, otherwise you'd have squeezed in the 'coalition blah-blah'.rockfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835472375196889875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-83750468603104552452010-02-26T19:30:12.854-05:002010-02-26T19:30:12.854-05:00ottolib,

Instead of taxing and playing on a Carbon Trading market to benefit the banks and big energy companies.<br /><br />I don't confuse the AGW alarmists desire to trade carbon credits in the Chicago/Europe exchange with a concern for the environment.<br /><br />How does increasing my hydro bill by 25% help me by installing smart grids, windmills?<br /><br />I noted with Jeff the small tax at the airport being unfair vs the much larger tax imposed on Carbon with all levels being wasteful with the existing tax dollars.CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-21403838176269953602010-02-26T18:42:27.174-05:002010-02-26T18:42:27.174-05:00I once flew home to Ottawa from Toronto, in coach,...I once flew home to Ottawa from Toronto, in coach, and my seat mate was then Cabinet Minister Alan Rock.<br /><br />CS, only you could take a post about airport security and make it about carbon taxes.<br /><br />I wonder CS, have you heard that many of the movers and shakers in Calgary now prefer a carbon tax? You see, they realize that some kind of program that puts a price on carbon is coming, it cannot be avoided, and a carbon tax is the most predictable and easiest to plan for.ottlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695135535019042279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-48079296159160176912010-02-26T17:27:29.424-05:002010-02-26T17:27:29.424-05:00Jeff,

We don't have that. We have them screaming deficit, raise corp taxes on corp, banks mantra.<br />Manning cooperated with the Liberals in the 90's on the budget and did not resort to doorknobs, olympic logos, novelty cheques stunts.<br />How many tours on campus before an alternative is introduced, debated in parliament from the Liberals?CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-76115824863160870392010-02-26T16:29:33.376-05:002010-02-26T16:29:33.376-05:00CS, I'm going to just focus on your first para...CS, I'm going to just focus on your first paragraph.<br /><br />Here's my view: I have no problem with an airport security tax or a carbon tax or a sales tax if it's going to something important and effective. And the money we're paying for the airport security tax, now increased, isn't going to anything remotely resembling effective and sensible airport security measures.The system is a mess, and we're throwing good money after bad.<br /><br />That's my objection.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-68916799874699835772010-02-26T16:09:18.370-05:002010-02-26T16:09:18.370-05:00I am not sure what is more troubling your concern ...I am not sure what is more troubling your concern for a $ 4.00 - $ 10.00 tax on flights or your acceptance of a Carbon Tax on everything for AGW that would be more costly for Canadians.<br /><br /><br />I am impressed how the CBC can find time to publish these anon letters from people who have only critical opinions.<br /><br />I am glad the new standard for hard news at the CBC in avoiding investigating Climategate worth Billions for a unacceptable tirade by a member of parliament.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading about her husband troubles again.CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.com
