The program, which so far includes New York and eight other northeastern states, puts an absolute cap on emissions from electricity generating stations and would allow those that are below their targets to sell credits to those that are above.

One subject leads to the next. On this topic, I think the CPC will try to undermine this bill. I haven't figured out how, except to say, it will be a tactic filled with misleading information, designed to have Canadians "fear" the amended bill. James Moore was on tv, saying just how disappointed he was in the bill and what scary new powers it gave the Environment Minister. Cullen and McGuinty were clear on how he was misleading the public, Moore was grinning at their comments. It's that "gotcha" grin that drives me mad. It's as if they go fishing, looking for what the opposition will react to, then exploit that. Most of us do not think in those terms. We honestly state our beliefs and enter into most agreements in good faith, even those with political masters. It would seem logical therefore, that most people would not fall for the nonsense, but by the time the general public hears it, it's been honed to a sound-bite. There is a diabolical genius to this and THAT, imo, is what must be exposed.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2965','knb'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2965','knb','Paladiea...I know, it\'s tough to choose a topic these days.

On this topic, I think the CPC will try to undermine this bill. I haven’t figured out how, except to say, it will be a tactic filled with misleading information, designed to have Canadians “fear” the amended bill.

James Moore was on tv, saying just how disappointed he was in the bill and what scary new powers it gave the Environment Minister. Cullen and McGuinty were clear on how he was misleading the public, Moore was grinning at their comments. It’s that “gotcha” grin that drives me mad. It’s as if they go fishing, looking for what the opposition will react to, then exploit that.

Most of us do not think in those terms. We honestly state our beliefs and enter into most agreements in good faith, even those with political masters. It would seem logical therefore, that most people would not fall for the nonsense, but by the time the general public hears it, it’s been honed to a sound-bite. There is a diabolical genius to this and THAT, imo, is what must be exposed.
