This is too funny. And what a debate it will cause. The liberals bashing the conservatives. The conservatives bashing the liberals. Watch it get personal. Good times. Sit back now and let the games begin...
Climate change isn't a game. I find that site reflects more on the party that is doing the smearing than Mr. Dion's carbon tax proposal. The profits from the oil sands is distorting the governing party's sense of purpose.
You are right that climate change isn't a game! It is the biggest hoax perpetrated on the world to date! It was started a few years back , when the Liberal Adscam "game" began to unravel, and a new way to "waste" a countries money was devised, instead of advertising money beig wasted. Climate change has been with us for ever, probably due to "sun spots", which are related to the sun's activity, where we get all of our heat, or perhaps due to the fact that the earth changes its axis, or perhaps due to slight changes in the path that the Earth takes going around the Earth, or perhaps due to the fact that Walmart has blacktop for its parking lots, and that blacktop absorbs so much more of the sun's rays, and is distorting the "world's average temperature" readings, which are a non-existing average temperature!! The only redeeming quality of "the global warming threat" is that the governments around the world have decided to save us, and we all know that our governments are good at spending our tax money, and getting us good value for our money. A perfect example was when Martin was asked to report on his 1st 4 billion dollars spent, and the report came back, "we have nothing to report", as we cannot track our expenditures, but give us some more time and we will contact the recipient's in jail for an update!

If climate change has been with us forever, how can it be said to be a hoax?
As for when it started I understand that billions upon billions of dinosaur farts melted the ice and that is how a) North America came to be, and 2) how oil came to be under Alberta.
Yes it's very strange. They seem to have this split personality. One personality is the reasonable Conservative Party that responds calmly to questions in question period, introduces new policy to protect the economy, and defends Canadian interests abroad. Then there's the other Conservative Party that spreads inane, nonsensical slander that is an insult to everyone's intelligence, gags Environment Canada, throws tantrums about alleged media bias, and knowingly campaigns against the facts.

The only "good" government is a benevolent dictatorship. All forms of democracy involve huge amounts of waste - that is one part of the price of freedom. <br><br>So that best we can do is the concept of "okay" government ;-)
Maybe i'm wrong, but i haven't seen such constant childish mud slinging from an in power government in my entire life. I suspect even after dion retires the conservatives will still be paying for attack ads on him. They are obsessed and i have a feeling I know why.
I read this great book once (the title slips my mind at the moment). It was on political strategy and what they discussed was that the ideological right (so the harder right like harper and his boys) main goal is not to convince people to vote for them because they know that there broader policies will never sell. Their actual goal is to make politics as ugly as possible to disinfranchise voters because they know that the less people that vote the better chance they have obtaining and holding onto their power. They know that their core will always vote (i.e the religious right), and will always vote for them. The key is to make the average person not want to vote.
