The Liberals' Hidden Agenda

Re: Green shift targets the rich: Liberal
A way to transfer Alberta wealth to 'rest of country'
in today's National Post.

It would seem the Liberals have their own "Hidden Agenda". How instructive that a Liberal MP, one who is privy to closed-door discussions, has laid bare for all to see the real agenda of their so-called "Green-Shift" strategy.

Far from trying to save the planet, the Liberals are returning to their true roots. Stick it to "the rich", and engineer a massive redistribution of wealth in Canada. When all else fails, fall back on class warfare and the politics of envy. How cheap and superficial. How irresponsible!

While I'm certain this admission will bring howls of approval from the usual suspects in downtown Toronto and Vancouver and their faithful mouthpieces at the CBC and the Toronto Star, if that's really the goal, then hang it out there for all to see and let's have that open debate rather than one on a half-baked, smoke-and-mirrors theory of so-called "green-shifting".

Remember, as Stephane Dion reminded us so conveniently this week - he does have a PhD. The problem is, it's in Sociology - not the Environment or Economics. Taxing success, redistributing wealth, and rewarding mediocrity are in his academic DNA. (And, not uncoincidentally, his dog is named "Kyoto" - the real agenda is revealed).

This man deserves to be sent back to academia ASAP. In my opinion, his untested theories and less than forthright agenda represent a clear and present danger to the economic and political future of this country.
