Harper's plan? Drill the hell out of the
Alberta Tar Sands, continue clubbing them pain in the
ass big-eyed baby seals, exploit
the Arctic for whatever oil etc. it will give us.
That gold-star plan along with Stephen Harper's cozy
looking sweaters will keep us safe from recession and
the separatist movement. With no more pooping
puffin to rest the Tory campaign on I guess this
is what we get: fear wrapped in cashmere.
To crib a line from Billy Bragg's Waiting
For The Great Leap Forwards:
“Here comes
the future and you can't run from it.”
Our environment is already changing. If
we're not bold in our plans to combat further environmental
degradation we're going to have much bigger problems
than separatism and the economy to deal with. This is
life and death stuff—for us, for our descendants,
for the birds, the bears, the trees. Closing our eyes
to the threats won't make them disappear.
The time to act is now. Any political
party that doesn't understand that is a party we should
be afraid of.
Fear
and the federal election
“The
Liberals' carbon tax plan will plunge Canada into recession,
sparking economic unrest that will revive Quebec's separatist
movement, Prime Minister Stephen Harper says.”
