This forum is for non aviation related topics, political debate, random thoughts, and everything else that just doesn't seem to fit in the normal forums. ALL FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.
The oh so smart, ( insert sarcasm here) Greenshit idea of S. Dion of the Liberals will not only raise the cost of everything, but it will cripple aviation even more. The great plan of Dion's will among other things, triple the tax on Jet Fuel!!!
IMHO I would urge anyone interested in aviation to vote for anyone but DION in the sure to come election!!
Even if it is revenue neutral for the federal government it doesn't mean it will be revenue neutral for individuals, businesses, or provinces. This Liberal scam will take money from the oil, gas, and coal rich provinces and give to Ont and PQ in vote buying programs. Standard Liberal party politics. Alberta, BC, and Sask will pay to have Ont and PQ put the Liberals back in power so they can pander to central Canada and ignore the west.

Oh shut up already.
What is up with the West and their hate to the east?
I've been to the east and dont hear as much hate about the western provinces as much as I do the other way around. The Calgary sun cries about the media such as CBC being bias, and yet they always say negative things about anything in the west. ALWAYS!!!
It will be interesting because the people who will be most affected by this plan would be the rich people. Actually it would be kind of "just" wouldn't it?

Exactly
Find a map there skipper, we in the west would like to welcome Newfoundland to the have province club and appluad ontario for joining the have not province club.
It isn't that people in the west "hate" the east (central Canada). What many in the west "hate" is the Liberal party's politics that leaves the western provinces disenfranchised from the governence of the country. You may not have noticed, but since the conservatives formed the government, talk of western alienation, PQ separtism, and divisive politics in general have significantly faded away. Compare that to whenever the Liberals are in power. The Liberal's political strategy during my lifetime has always seemed to be built on a platform of divide the regions and then paint yourself as the glue necessary to hold the country together. Keep the population bickering over regional issues while the Liberals in Ottawa plunder the treasury.
If you have been on this site for more than one day you will see that i have been wrong on more than one occasion with political forecasts
So you may just get to see Dion do for the Liberal Conservative Party of Canada what Mulruinee did for the Progressive C
