Dion doesn't have a leg to stand on

Does anyone at all give Stephane Dion even an ounce of credibility when it comes to the environment? He preaches Kyoto as the answer to all our environmental problems yet when he was in the position to make changes, he chose to do NOTHING. Now he expects Canadians to believe that he is serious about the environment, give me a break. The only thing he has ever done for Kyoto is pick up his crap and scratch his belly.

Dion unveiled his latest plan for the climate: the answer it appears is to tax businesses. Sounds like a Liberal plan to me.

What he and many Canadians seem to not understand is that any additional costs as a result of regulations will simply be passed on to consumers. So if you support his plan to tax corporations then you may never again complain about the price of gas. Liberals claim that their plan will only cost $1.17 extra per barrel of oil produced from the oil sands (keep in mind that is a Liberal number so take it with a grain of salt). The reality is that $1.17 will be passed on to the consumer, as it should. Also, the increased cost will make projects in the oil sands and other areas of Canada less profitable which will drive new investments out of Canada. Resulting in fewer jobs and lower economic stability. When you fill up your car and see $1.50 or $2.00/litre don't blame the oil companies, blame Dion because he is the source of the increased costs.

Increasing taxes is NEVER the solution to ANY problems. In fact, increasing taxes is often the problem in the first place.
