A Real Climate Change Plan

After reading the Prime Minister's parliamentary secretary Jason Kenney’s remarks about the new Liberal climate change plan, I just had to laugh. "It allows companies to increase their emissions as much as they want so long as they pay a tax." said Mr Kenney.

Have you ever heard of market based solutions Mr Kenney? Yes, the Liberal plan does involve letting companies produce as much GHGs as they want, but I don’t know many companies which would satisfy their shareholders by wasting $30 on each tonne of emissions above the Kyoto target.

But that’s too complicated, too corrupt, too academic and too eastern. Canadians want action and Mr. Kenney’s party has a better plan: if we don’t start seeing action by 2050, the government will send Strormtroopers off to their oil sands to force companies into compliance. That’s a real Conservative plan: crude, tough, outdated.
