Hey Mr Layton, what are you going to do about 911. We know it was a fraud, just like this global warming fraud is too.

Cmon Jack!

This video is about the carbon tax. Let's keep to that topic. And NDP supporters, don't fool yourselves that the NDP still have a plan that will reasonably achieve carbon emission reductions.

Organizing a cap and trade system is complicated. There's lots of room for loopholes. The E.U would have done a carbon tax if they could have, but the harmonization was too hard.

After a few years, we'd see the actual emissions response. The tax rate could be adjusted. Meanwhile, the cost is known.

Ok this hypothetical Mrs.Smith? She would burn less oil. Because if she retrofits her house with lets say a geothermal pump, she now get the income tax cut, with out paying the carbon tax. the renovation pays itself off in a few years, she richer, and theres less oil burnt. That in a nutshell is how it works. He's purposely missrepresenting it because he dislikes Liberals and Greens. Pure partisan

You do relise that individuals are responsible for a good chunck of Canadas emisions as well right? If the NDP are going to talk about Canada being responcible shouldn't the people be as well?

I choose to live close to work, ride my bike in the summer, and bus in the winter (even though i oun a car). Yet i get no benifit. Why do i pay as much in tax as someone driving their hummer in from the subburbs? If you're responcible (as an individual or a corp) you dont loose money

The NDP is the only party that actually listens to people. Cap and trade is the way to go, help people make their homes more energy efficient. Especially since Ontario Hydro is gouging people through their debt reduction scheme, maybe if they wouldn't have given the CEOs big payouts they wouldn't be in debt. Also the delivery fee is a joke.

Right, and Layton lied to David Suzuki, see "David Suzuki supports carbon tax". He has buried their constitution as none of the others have. Why? Because he does not stand by it anymore and has no place to stand with out it. (To those of you who undertand the import of such things.)He has grown up in Ottawa and learned how to be slick and slimey wile adding a few new twists. Like US style ads and pitbull antics. I voted for him - NEVER AGAIN!!!!! He abandoned his roots.

P.S. CAP and Trade are inevitable but down the road It will take about 4-10 years to organize, that will be well beyond "to late!"

[jenniferatemple]

You can not afford to not have the tax!! It is money in YOUR pocket. Read the platform! The tax collected comes back to us. We will have new stlyed industries that will sustain jobs into the future. Is every body in this Country so dense they can not see we are being thrown a life preserver by Dion & the Liberals!
