When was the last time you had an "injection" at the hospital? Do you remember the feeling. how the needle touches your butt and then there is this slow and vague pierce and then the dull achy pain.
Let me be a layman, a simpleton a know- nothing and that is what I feel about the cash grab called carbon tax. And coming from a third world country, I know the games politicians play, alas Canadians are so naive to believe "all that looks white is milk" and trust their politicians. Not sure if Canadians consider it offensive to mistrust people, but hey , have you not got duped in life before?
Think it this way. Who will receive the money from the carbon tax grab?
Look at the information provided by the Alberta government here it is https://www.alberta.ca/climate-carbon-pricing.aspx#p184s4
It is like asking a 3 year old "where is all the candy I gave you?"
"I gave some to my teddy bear, I gave some to Tom, and I gave some to Tom to give to others and I gave others" - makes no sense.
$645 will go to establishing a new agency. So what is this? let us have a meeting about having a meeting thing? let us have an agency to have an agency that will build another agency?
$3.4bn will go to large scale renewable energy and all those carp. Now whose money is this, and who is going to spend it and who will manage it? who has the experience? what is the cost? where is the competitiveness?
Folks! it is all going to be a big "swindle-dee-dum, I-fo-fum" (and here is the thumb, suck it)
Developed countries should progress towards towards "less and lean" government. But 10 years in Canada and I see that government is more and more getting involved. Maybe they need a "job security" and that is why they keep "healthcare and education" have they not spoilt the Canadians? Why? is USA not living? of course there are problems in US of A but Canada is not without problems.
The NDP government is playing pure politics, seems they are working their math and moving their coins like chess pieces, these are their objectives
- What words if we say will people turn their ears to us?
- How many votes do we need to win power?
- What is the math of votes?
- What action if we take will people consider to vote us? (hike the minimum wage)
- So our first priority is to play the masses, then who are the other parties that we will antagonize in the process of playing to the masses?
- How can we pacify those antagonized other parties (big businesses)
- Grab cash from these fools and give it to business
Here is a renewable energy idea for you Albertans!
Now give me $30mn and I will build this for you (fools)
