There is no other feasible solution to limiting Canada's CO2 emissions which are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. A regulated solution will just lead to another bureaucratic dance orchestrated from Ottawa. Nor can the federal government pass this ball off to provincial governments. Only a federal tax will work. Ideally, the feds must impose a tax on anyone who emits CO2 into the atmosphere. The tax should apply at the moment of emission (or as close to that as possible) so that we create the correct incentives to limit them. This would also create an incentive to develop mechanisms for sequestration. I would suggest two approaches to a carbon tax: First, start small with the potential to ratchet up the tax according to its effects. Second, return all carbon tax revenues to the province where the tax was collected. The revenues of the carbon tax could be refunded to the provincial governments or ideally to individuals. This is the simplest, most cost effective way to deal with this problem. Offsets are not a solution and risk to become another placebo. (Offsets are the latest stylish buzz word. People as varied as David Suzuki, the Bare Naked Ladies and Lancome's supermodels all employ offsets. This means they give money abroad and then claim that this reduces the CO2 emissions equal to the emissions of their own travel and lifestyle. Offsets are a private version of Kyoto.)

ya, before they are granted the citizenship

So it's ok to spend millions buying hookers and blow to bribe who ever you want, not counting million dollar boats....to get contracts....where do you draw the line, would it be alright to bribe government employees, elected officials , or anyone else for that matter in this country....or does it have to be in a foreign country for you to feel all good about this act ?

Your right so what, no laws were broken.........and yet Justins main man quits, the senior civil servant retires early, the treasure dept MP retires early, 2 MPs were fired, and Justin is in up to his neck in shit....how does that happen if no laws were broken, there has to be something to this whole issue.....or is this all normal behavior for federal government MP's or maybe ….and I say maybe there is a major rule or policy that states something has gone wrong.....something that would demand the forced retirement of all these people....

Calling Faith Goldy a Nazi makes light of real ones...both historical and the few idiots that still actually cling to the Third Reich.

No, but he and Jughead are fighting over the White Supremacist Betty and Veronica so...

Wow. It's like a high school ! I mean, in 1939 Germany.

The natives took the land by conquest, so how do they own it when they simply got a taste of their own medicine? There isn't a country on the planet where the people running the country didn't conquer someone else to come into possession of their land at some point in history. Like I said, you can't reason with these people, they know so little history they've come to the conclusion that white people are the villains of world history.

Right, like making authentic enchiladas.

NIMBY = Left's position on that.

I don't figure, I know. And are your attempts at "humor" always so feeble? You've heard that one about "he who laughs last"

Yes. It was Britain who declared war on Germany both times, using neutral countries as an excuse, that weren't worth fighting a world war over. The real reason they declared war on Germany is allied with Ottoman's and Italians, which threatened the route to India. By trying to "preserve" the empire, Winston destroyed it. Nelson ha-ha.
