WORKING A HARD EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR THE DEVIL

I never really cared about the budget, until I learned where all that money is going, yup, to the Corporates once again. Isn't it time to stop the suffering that these polluting organizations unleash onto us, the innocent bystanders. It is us and our poor helpless Mother Earth that are the victims of this quest for money and power that our government continues to exploit for their own money-hungry purposes. While they are drinking their bottled water, we will be wading in red frothing oceans and eating diseased, pus-filled animals, and pesticide induced vegetables. I say we put that budget money (which is once again our hard earned cash!) into something that will benefit US AND MOTHER EARTH, now that is progress!
OTTAWA - The Green Party is rejecting the Conservative budget as a budget with no vision that fails to provide responsible leadership on the economy or the environment.
"I look at this Conservative budget", said Green Party deputy leader Adriane Carr, "and I see a big group of ostriches with their heads stuck in the tar sands."
"There's no vision," said Carr. "While other countries are growing strong, sustainable economies based on conserving energy and developing clean renewable energy, the Conservatives are entrenching our reliance on fossil fuels."
Carr noted that the single biggest initiative regarding global warming in this budget allocates $250 million to sequester carbon from coal-fired electricity.
"The Conservatives are taking Canada backwards instead of forward," said Carr.
"The nuclear industry is not the way to go, either," said Carr. 'This budget puts $300 million in new nuclear technology. Given the long-term health, environmental and international security problems related to nuclear energy, our government should invest instead in Canada's vast solar, wind, tidal and geothermal resources," stated Carr.
Ms. Carr said that a carbon tax, coupled with green tax-shifting, is critical to both addressing climate change and developing clean, renewable energy. Just yesterday, the new David Suzuki Foundation report, co-authored with economist Mark Jaccard, concluded that a carbon tax will not only help solve the climate crisis but will represent a significant opportunity for Canadians to save on taxes and will keep our economy strong."
