Wow - that is an amazing comment - lemme guess - you have a Pierre Elliot Trudea button in your basement right next to your poster of Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Shroeder hugging right?
Wow - I am at a loss for words.
What issues transcend Canada that isnt good for Calgary but is good for Canada?
Environment? Umm it does affect Calgary but people in Calgary think there is a better way than some Bullshut Euro lovin on an issue they have for purely politcial reasons.
I just wish Harper would transcend his current party's base and announce an immediate 3.5 Billion Environment funding plan with 3 centres of excellence - Edmonton for power fuels, Winnipeg for clean agricultre fuels, and Waterloo for efficient combustion engines and smog. With laws to reduce coal/natural gas emmisions by 20% in 10 years, and have a 10 year plan to get every car in Canada to E85 or higher standards or face serious taxes on basic carbon based fuels. In a perfect Conservative world that would be announced at a joint press conference with the US, Australia, and Japan at a Kyoto conference right in the face of the EU and all their other prima dona BS. Swartzenegger would be there also to call France-Belgium-Germany girly men
That would be a Conservative plan to the Environmental problem - not some one tonne challenge oh we care about the enviro BS that does nothing but sounds good - classic EU politeering.
Just - wow.
