• Today I received an email from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
• I wrote the Conservative Party Leader, again...
• Greetings again, Mr. O'Toole
Blessings to you and family.
• 1. I realize the Party (That I support) and yourself (That I support) is under political pressure to be electable. It is easy to criticize people in influence and power from afar. The Liberals are more popular for reasons and it is not black and white where to adapt in order to be more likely elected. The Prime Minister can make multiple mistakes and remains a 'teflon man'.
• 2. But in regards to the email chain I am posting from Canadian Taxpayers Federation: I stated:
Yes, I saw this today. Carbon tax is an intellectual cop-out, IMHO. To be really serious about dealing with climate change means western governments, energy companies and automobile/motor vehicle manufactures working together to make electric (and non-fossil fuel) vehicles more affordable for the general public. It means the creation of more rail infrastructure from governments to limit the need for motor vehicle traffic. Carbon tax is a government tax grab within political correctness.
• 3. I will add that I live in Maple Ridge and walk whenever I can, which is much. I should not be taxed in any scheme whatsoever, rebate or not, for having to drive elsewhere with no reasonable rail or other alternative.
It is also too unsafe to bike, for most of us, in my humble opinion.

• I am not opposed to fines and penalties for actual, legitimate polluters, that reject better legal alternatives and that break government regulations.
• Cited: OTTAWA - The government House leader has asked the Speaker of the House of Commons to investigate a photo leak of a Liberal MP caught naked on camera during a virtual sitting of Parliament.
Pablo Rodriguez said Thursday the incident involving Quebec MP William Amos was “mean-spirited” and has been “life-changing” for him.
• Cited: Bloc Quebecois MP Claude DeBellefeuille, the party whip, raised the incident in a point of order after question period Wednesday, as she called for parliamentary decorum.
“It may be necessary to remind the members, especially the male ones, that a tie and jacket are obligatory, but so are a shirt, boxer shorts or pants,” DeBellefeuille said in French.
“We have seen that the member is in great physical shape, but I think members should be reminded to be careful and control the camera well.”
• '...that a tie and jacket are obligatory, but so are a shirt, boxer shorts or pants.' He made a classic funny.
