Well the Gov think we're digin Gold here, as it was called " Gold Mountain" 150 yrs ago.
Van will be a place for rich folks, something the Gov has forgotten that Fuhrer has final solution 60 some yrs ago, they should build a few Auschwiz to get rid of the old & useless of the society.
Then Van will be a better place for the Rich & Famous to live.

i think... the carbon tax is a good thing but its how the money that would be collected will be spent! from the sound of it... they are giving the people their money back first! then invest in new technology and other forms of tax cuts rite...
but its going to be another hard thing for the lower class or people who are struggling for every penny they earn~ cuz u hv to put gas everytime u run out.. and the thing is transit isnt cheap either!
if the government decide to subsidize the fee of public transit i think it would promote ppl to shift to transit.. but the thing is.. the current level of conjestion in the buses and everything else is very high already... so.. i wouldnt see that coming in near future ne~~~
but... in general i like the carbon tax...作者: CWong 時間: 2008-2-24 01:21

I bet people drilling oil in Fort mac is producing exponentially more pollutant than people like us
and does it help reducing carbon production? I don't think so
why are we the ones paying it? and where is the money going to? something green? or they're just saving it to build a nuclear plant?作者: CWong 時間: 2008-2-24 18:39
I don't think most people are understanding the tax properly. It is a revenue-neutral tax; other tax reductions will offset the increase cause by this tax. I think it's a proper step forward as it rewards citizens who are greener than average.
