I got this in email recently I am not sure who this direct at.

It seems that some of the provincial liberals are moving away from the pack and federal party does not like it. I am sorry to those of you who like the Green Plan I am on side of liberals that is really not sure about about this plan .
There is allot of things in it like the carbon tax will hurt Saskatchewan and Western Canada, giving us money back will not cover what we send in carbon tax in my opinion. Just look at the GST rebate does it cover what we spend on GST everyday month or in a year no. There has to be a better plan for help to stop pollution and the green house affect.. I wish I knew the answer or was smart enough to figure it out. But hurting one part of Canada to help this does not seems right. The have not provinces SASK , NFLD and along with AB are running ecomonic engine for the country right now. So is this a bad thing ?


Hello all,



Hope everyone is having a great summer - we have certainly kicked it off with some hot weather.


Just wanted to drop you a brief line about some of the benefits of the federal party’s Green Shift environmental plan. It has been getting a very positive reaction across the country - outside of Alberta and Saskatchewan. As Liberals, we need to spread the benefits of the plan to combat some of the Conservative rhetoric.



Liberals are now leading the discussion – the media is focussing on the issues rather than raw politics


An election on the environment is a good thing for us. The last thing Stephen Harper wants is an election on the environment – it’s like George Bush wanting to run on the Iraq war


While the program may cost Saskatchewan tax dollars, it will be significantly less than the $800 million hit from the Conservative equalization plan, and the billions lost in income trust changes

Green Shift does not touch gasoline prices, but deals with large pollution emitters. Personal income tax cuts will offset rising prices for consumers.


The environment is a highly emotional issue that is on the right side of history and appeals to younger voters as well as those who want to leave the world a better place for their children and their children’s children.


So next time you’re admiring the back nine at the Dunes with a group of friends, spread the message around (depending, of course on how many balls the other members of your foursome have lost in the fescue).



Talk soon,

David
