DAY 4 OF THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN!!!

Its day 4 of the 2008 election and the Conservatives continue to flip flop on issues right left and center. Well, the NDP and Conservatives both had flip flopped on the Elizabeth May issue on if she should be allowed into the leaders debate. At first the Cons and NDP had said nope and now have negated on there response and flip flopped due to the public outcry. This clearly shows that Cons should not be in power in the next parliament and should be told this on October 14th, please do not Conservative in the next election and vote for the Liberals. The Liberals green shift plan would work well and a comment made on the CTV board illustrates this point well on why you should give your support to the Liberals in the coming election. I will copy and paste exactly what was said right below and stay tuned to my blog for day by day news on election 2008 and GO LIBERALS GO!!!!

A bit of tax now or a HECK of a lot later!Uhh newsflash ... We're pretty much already in a recession and Harper has no buffer because he spent until the cupboards were bare (his intent). He cut the wrong tax (if he had cut income taxes instead then people like J.C. would have a bit more room in his budget). The GST cuts don't do anything to help people save money on essentials like groceries - they tend to better help the well-to-do when they're buying higher-priced luxury items.I am educated and was unemployed for a duration after the tech/bust and 9/11 and thankfully I was able to take advantage of the government support system at the time. I am definitely glad that I had been paying taxes and paying into the EI program all those years before. Most of us don't realize until much later why we pay all these taxes/premiums here in Canada.If we tax the dirty fuels, then perhaps we'll be able to convince companies to start investing in cleaner technologies since it would be cheaper on their bottom line . Companies like Purolator have been "evaluating" hybrid diesel/electric truck conversions now for 3-4 yrs but still haven't committed to fully retro-fitting their fleet.Yes, we might pay a bit more now to reduce emissions or we can pay a hell of a lot more later for our healthcare and insurance, damage from weather (as Haligonians how they feel) all because of the increased effects of climate change/pollution.
