Lets look at truck sales in north america, they went down. Why, because they are expensive to run and burn a pile of gas. Did we need a carbon tax to get people to buy cars which burn less fuel? Score 1 for the free market. That is a chunk of CO2 gone. Agriculture/agribusiness is one of the biggest employers in Canada. Hitting that industry with a carbon tax is lunacy, it will just make everyone poorer. Carbon which Canada produces is not a negative externality in the grand scheme of things. We only contribute 2%, and by slapping a tax on carbon and gouging our industries which keep Canada going is also lunacy. I'll wager that most economists will say that doing nothing is best of all. My understanding of economic fundamentals are just fine, my farm would be bankrupt years ago if I didn't. I also didn't need to waste 5 years of my time in University to understand economic fundamentals either.

Except scare the pants off of me with his ridiculous socialist ideals. The Trudeau dynasty is over, fiscal conservatism is King in Canada, put this socialist nonsense out to pasture and finally let it be a part of our history.

Answer the question please, is your life worse with Harper in charge than when Paul Martin is in charge? Believe it or not Harper has had a positive impact on the lives of many Canadians, myself included. It's one vote to a customer and the people have spoken, Harper stays.

Grin and bear Liberals, your hatred for the west ensures you won't form government for a long long time!!! There is no such thing as a country's ideals, only individual ideals. 38% of Canadians have ideals that were represented by the tories. Saying Canada has ideals is pure Trudeau nonsense.

As for saying Stephen Harper being not being in government is for the good of the country it's time to take off your tinfoil hat. Is your life worse with Harper in charge?

Alright you send 60% of your income to the government and don't accept the refund and tell us how that works. I know how to spend my money thanks. I would like more of it back from the gov't though.

I think the tories are throwing the Libs a bone (for whatever reason) by implementing this "plan". The tories had their own plan that started in the winter time and have been implementing it. Throwing this on top of it will ensure Liberal support.

Does that University give refunds??? Punishing our economy chasing after a possible science experiment especially in these times is lunacy. Canada is fine as it is, punishing our exports is also lunacy. Canada needs to find an industry that will be as high of value and with the high employment numbers as the oil industry, thankfully we have a hundred years to do so. The free market does a good job regulating fossil fuel usage, why should we burden ourselves with an unnecessary tax?

The lesson why communism sucks, the US got an A+ there.

Seriously, what was the Liberal plan?

He thinks that parliament is the Ontario Legislature.

Harper would have a field day blasting him on Rae days. It won't take too much attack ads to get Rae, he can send some Duceppe's way now.

I'd be fine with an 11 billion dollar surplus

you forgot toews

This reminds me of the minority turmoil of the 60's. You have a point here.

who else of prominence do the tories have that could replace harper, Lawrence Cannon? I don't see any leaders in the tory camp.

Us dang westerners hate that there trudeau because hes commencing to steal our money and send it out east. Dern it must be a pain in the ass that us dang rednecks don't need a fancy edumacation to make money!!! Seriously, Trudeau has a piss poor attitude regarding the west and so do his supporters, as per your post. If the Liberals want to form government again, they have to respect the rural areas, something they are not doing. Justin is a socialist and would be a disaster for the Liberal party. Having a Trudeau as a main player in the Liberal party will shut the Liberals out of Western Canada for 50 years. Screw the West we'll take the rest, how well did that work in 1984???

Westerners hate Pierre Trudeau, I especially hate him. He is the reason why the Liberals will never ever get elected in rural Canada again and why I despise the Liberals. As for writing off rural Canada, where are the Liberals now??? If Justin Trudeau gets any higher in the Liberal caucus, the Liberals can kiss Western Canada goodbye for another 50 years. I have heard this person speak and it sends shivers down my spine. Expect the red tories to flee the party when Trudeau gains prominence. The Liberals don't need to go left, they need to go back to the centre.

dion gave one shove then told the reporter off. can't say harper is bad with the media anymore. It was the RCMP bodyguard tossing the reporter.

Good I look forward to his explanation with his conduct with the media. And they say Harper has problems...

of course fptp works, there are at least 4 parties running in ridings. How are they supposed to even get a majority the first time around. It is the most fair way, having an elected representative. Don't hate the fact that there are numerous political parties and people vote for them.

Wow is Dion pissed!!! He snapped at the CTV interviewer and shoved him. His bodyguards had to get involved.

no change in the landscape I suppose. He was blasting CPC MPs at one point. Look at it this way, we had a 300 million dollar election with big storm clouds on the economic horizon and we are back where we started. I seriously think Harper should have waited until later and let people become more comfortable with him and hopefully have an election at the end of the financial mess.

Why spend 300 million on an election to get the same result. Waste of money. Watch CTV, Craig Olliver is livid.
