At Home in Hespeler

Cue Patrick Swayze:

Elizabeth May, the lone Green Party MP, is in the last seat of the last row on the opposition side of the Commons right against the curtains. She is jammed in between one of the four Bloc Québécois MPs and the translator’s booth. Justin Trudeau, the Liberal MP from Papineau, has the seat in front of her.

If only Elizabeth May could dance, we could get on with the happy ending. But dancing increases your heart-rate, resulting in faster breathing thus an increase in CO2 exhaled. Result: global warming all around.

Go back to your playpen, Baby.

Who said what again?

Back in 2007 I asked, would you stop driving for 12c a litre?

Elizabeth May thinks you would. I wonder. Hasn’t the price of gas gone up more than 12c a litre this year? What has it stopped you from doing?

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Sixty cents a litre is the starting point for serious reduction. This is just a smooth trick to get carbon taxes in play, they’ll adjust accordingly later. And we all know how hard it is to get governments to adjust down.

The Pembina Institute says British Columbia should increase its trendsetting carbon tax to $200 per tonne of CO2 emissions, equivalent to a 48-cent surcharge in the price of gasoline, if it’s serious about addressing climate change.
