Say
Yes To Carbon!
I like to keep in touch with Stephen Harper
by email, you know, to remind him us peasants care about
issues like the environment, the seal hunt and human
rights. So far the Prime Minister hasn't emailed me
back but I do receive the occasional form letter from
whatever Minister his office has forwarded my complaint
to. And of course there was Stephen's Easter
card, which was interesting but a little unsettling.
So anyway, it's not like the PM and I
never communicate. Why just yesterday I received a thoughtful
message from him informing me that Liberal leader Stéphane
Dion is a goofy French guy who wants to steal all my
money (and yours) through his idiotic carbon tax plan.
To be honest, I found this a bit confusing
at first. I'd been under the impression that Canada
should take decisive action on cutting its carbon emissions.
Of course, that was before I really had time to let
the leaflet from the PM's office sink in. I mean, get
a load of this wimpy Dion dude. The picture says it
all. There's no need to even open the leaflet up and
read about how "foolish" and "misleading"
the carbon tax is. Obviously Dion doesn't understand
what's good for Canada! I don't even think English is
his first language—otherwise his name would be
Stephen instead of Stéphane right?
Clearly Dion is a trickster and a loser!
Or so I thought until the below leaflet showed up in
my mailbox this afternoon.
Yep, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's
transformation to Sith Lord is almost complete. Harper
has zilch interest in imposing a carbon tax on his subjects
but what do you want to bet there's talk of a Death
Star tax on the horizon? Those gargantuan death stations
don't pay for themselves, you know.
I can't believe he had me fooled—even
for a day! Really, we should've guessed this was coming,
what with the company he's been keeping from day one.
Sigh. Where are Han Solo, Princess
Leia and Luke Skywalker when you need them? Yoda? Chewy?
R2?
