Alberta NDP screws up yet again

[The Green Barbarian]

i do recall someone saying the wildrose is who should have won bahahaha

Of course they should have won. The NDP sucks.

No, we should start with Christy, and her counterpart in stupidity and sloth, Horgan. Both the NDP and the Liberals have lost the right to represent the people of BC, and both parties should be dissolved, as both engage in and are rife with corruption and controlled by special interests.

I am impressed with Dan Brooks' pledge to put an end to corporate and union donations to political parties, same as was done federally.

I'm finding the BC Conservatives to have a lot of important values that are woefully lacking in the bought-and-paid-for Libs and disgusting NDP.

looks like the righties get caught lying again lol it was the pc and oil execs themselves who started the change to albertas climate plan not the ndp :)

"The fact that there was a new government and the sense that there was going to be action — and probably some of this carries from Prentice as well — there was a different level of conversation. Just the simple fact that we had Greenpeace representatives in our oil and gas technical sessions, that's probably a change."

Those changes won't stop with Sunday's announcement.

The panel report acknowledges that the greenhouse gas reductions it estimates won't bring Alberta into line with what would keep global warming under two degrees C.

"What we've laid out is a path to increase the stringency over time," Leach said.

He points out that the international competitiveness of almost 20 per cent of the Alberta economy is directly affected by carbon prices. He insists a $30-a-tonne carbon price is as high as Alberta can go without simply shifting emissions to other jurisdictions.

"If there are more stringent polices applied in our competitor and peer jurisdictions, then the costs of imposing policies in Alberta become much lower. I don't think this is the last greenhouse gas policy that Alberta will ever announce."

For now, though, he calls Alberta's policy more comprehensive than anything proposed by the province's critics, including the United State or the European Union.

And on Sunday, representatives of Forest Ethics —a group that once tried to get Americans to stop buying Alberta oil — stood on the same stage as the four companies behind most of the industry's growth.

Said Harris: "It was just a matter of talking."

Actually, Notley is in bed with Big Labour.

The guy she sleeps with is Lou Arab, and he works for the Canadian Union of Public Employees as a communications official and has at times served as a spokesman for the union.

A conflict of interest? Oh ya. http://calgaryherald.com/news/politics/ ... union-role
