Dion’s proposed carbon tax has everyone in a tizzy. Its not a bad idea in and off itself, the only problem is its about twenty years to late.

The point of a carbon tax would be to ween society off of fossil fuels by making other options more economical. Also, proceeds would go to create a new sustainable infrastructures that people could switch too. Thing is, to really work it has to be in place BEFORE oil prices skyrocket. You know, ease the blow, create a smooth transition of rising cost rather then smack people with a sudden skyrocketing and no well established alternative to turn too.

Tar Money:

Money made by True Canadians (ie Albertans) from the extraction of oil from the so totally green tar sands. Really it’s Green. Really!

aka Tory campaign financing

Good Job!

Water:

A clear, colourless, tasteless liquid found everywhere. It falls from the sky for God’s sake!

Uses: A powerful industrial solvent, especially useful in tar Sands oil extraction.

Canadian Lakes:

Holes in the ground with water in them. There’s lots of them so their pretty much disposable.

Known Uses: Receptacles for mine tailings, used condoms, other shit we don’t want.

The Syncrude slaughter is certainly getting attention in that the image of 500 wild ducks drowning in toxic sludge is enough to give nightmares to all except the hardest of Alberta Oil ideologists. Not to mention that its timing coincided with Alberta trying to convince its biggest customer that the Oil Sands are green as can be.

Remember that episode of Trailer Park Boys where Ricky gets money somehow, then starts acting like a dick to everyone in the trailer park. And not just a regular dick but a MegaDick. He then announces he is going to get Drunk-As-Fuck that night because he finally had some money god damn it. Ricky wakes up the next day in mid-afternoon face down in the middle of one of the trailer parks gravel intersections.
