Stephane Dion Defends "Green Shift" On News Talk Radio
Liberal leader joins John Gormley Live
Federal Liberal Leader Stephane Dion..getting grilled by News Talk Radio's John Gormley Live Friday over comments from Dion that Saskatchewan and Alberta would have to change their habits the most under his green plan, which includes a carbon tax. Dion says it's because the two oil-rich provinces turn out 40 per cent of Canada's carbon emissions. Dion says his green plan would leave Alberta and Saskatchewan better off 10 years from now because their economies would be more diversified and there would be more investment.

Dion or Borat?
Was that Dion or Borat?
What an sleazebag, destroy the economy and likely the country to pretend to solve an imaginary problem and to buy votes in the east.
revenue neutral
So if $7 billion is going to come out of the two provinces, then we must be getting $7 billion of the revenue neutral tax cuts! That would be great! Why isn't everybody cheering? We are getting $7 billion, right? Right? Why is everybody looking away?
I worked in the oil patch
I worked in the oil patch during NEP II. It went from the economy going at full steam to me being laid off four times in six months.
I moved back to Saskatchewan and took a job at one third the salary.
This sleazy liberal plan has the potential to break up Canada.
Trying to ruin SASKABOOM
This guy is treacherous for the west and its resource based economies. If he actually gets elected and implements this policy, economists & scholars around the world will look back at this point in time - where Canada BLEW its chance to be one of the most successful countries in world history.
P.S. Has this guy ever gone into northern SK or AB and appreciated the CLEANEST air in the world. The second you step out of your vehicle up on Hansen Lake Road, it's unbelievable how clean the air smells. Go to a large European city this summer and smell the smog or appreciate the sewer water in most of the Venice canals and then tell me we're not already clean in SK and AB !!!! He has dual citizenship with France and Canada, he should know how filthy Paris is compared to Saskatchewan. Source CDN Press Dec 6, 2006 " Dion has dual citizenship through his mother, who was born in France. "
"Carbon Tax"
Only one solution, shut down the oil and gas to the east, and separate, we don't need the east and their B.S.
what the hell...
i am tired of all of the easts crap with their "its for the better good!!" no you buggers its just the east wanting money! this is definitely anything but a "green plan", this is just a ploy from Ottowa to steal Saskatchewan and Albertas money, and if Stephan Dion gets elected, and puts this plan in place, i think we seriously need to consider Seperation, and i will be one of the first to accept this.
Soon there will be 2 countries --
like Germany was back then, Canada will have Western Canada and Eastern Canada. Without the West, the east will become a third world country.
As soon as the western separation party is formed, I will be one of the first to buy a party membership.
I am reading the many comments on other websites and the people out east are loving this plan -- anything that will screw the west is good for the country in their opinion.
What I would like to see are signs at border with a sign saying "Welcome to Saskatchewan (unless you are from Ontario and eastward, please turn back)".
I cannot Goodale has not resigned his seat as a Liberal and switched over to the Conservatives. Surely he does not TRULY believe this plan is good for HIS OWN PROVINCE!
Green Shift
The only thing that is going to shift is the money from the west to the central Canada.
I think Dion spelled shift wrong. It should be spelled "shaft"
Stephane Dion Defends "Green Shift" On News Talk Radio?
What was this Stephane Dion thinking when he entered into
a discussion/debate with as elegant and experienced a debater as
John Gormley??? I do not support the Liberal Party at all, but
listening to Mr. Dion try to side-step Mr. Gormley's direct questions
was almost painful. This debate was like a boxing match between
Mike Tyson and Alvin Law. Wow...I hope Central Canada realizes
just how dangerous this Stephane Dion is to a unified and successful
Canada before the West separates faster than you can say, "Parti
Quebecois!"
Another Wanna be at any cost
Stephan Dion wants to be elected PM at any cost, even if it means killing our country. A Red Wolf in Green clothing. Nothing but a” Wanna Be”. Hold your head high fellow Lemmings as he plummets us all off the cliff.
