While We’re Waiting…



Here’s widely demonized environmentalist David Suzuki from the Question Period program back in May discussing the idea of a carbon tax, the NDP’s puzzling opposition to it, the “Conservatives” failures on the environment, and the hopelessness of so-called “aspirational targets” that the government has established to supposedly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Some hints about the plan are outlined in The Star this morning, cribbed apparently from a 40 page booklet (“printed on recycled, biodegradable paper” it’s noted). Unfortunately though, the PDF version doesn’t appear to be on their website yet. Also, it’s reported that “Dion will unveil an array of other proposed measures” which aren’t specified.

So, it’s still wait and see until later in the day I guess…
