Guess what, economists agree with Baird and the Conservatives that their Green Sham Plan #2 will have minimal economic impact on Canada’s economy. That’s got to count for something, right?
Well.. not exactly. Check out why:
Philippe Crabbe, a University of Ottawa economist, laughed when asked about the likely impact on consumers, suggesting the plan is so [...]

When Canada’s leading and most respected environmentalist comes out and calls your plan “an embarrassment” and “not a strategy, but a sham”, I think you know this government is going to have difficulty selling this plan to Canadians. (By the way, kudos to the guy for publicly confronting John Baird and telling him it [...]

Chantal Hebert asks the question today in the Toronto Star whether the opposition will force an election over the environmental issue, now that Baird and the Tories have come up with their new version of the Green stall plan.

Again… It can be found at the Liberal site, but here it is here on Youtube:

A variation of the first ad they released, but this time going after the Conservatives on the climate change file.
I like the ads style I’ve seen so far. Hopefully the strategists up there will remember once election time rolls around [...]
