Twas funny. But, no matter how much the media are working against the CPC, the polls show voters want Harper. Maybe because Harper finally learned to tuck in his shirt? Hard for the LPC, though because Iggy doesn't have enough time to teach his eyes to not shift sideways.

Iggy's Alberta attack
Liberal leader stuck in the '70s — just worse, and no disco

By Ezra Levant, QMI Agency

Last Updated: April 5, 2011 2:00am

Michael Ignatieff once called himself Rip Van Winkle, because he had been away from Canada since 1969. Ignatieff was referring to the short story about a man who fell asleep for 20 years and didn’t realize the world had changed when he woke up.

Except that’s not quite fair, because Ignatieff was away from Canada for 34 years, and Van Winkle only slept for 20.

On Sunday, Ignatieff released the Liberal election platform, and it felt like it could have been written back when Ignatieff last lived here.

Every fashionable leftist idea from the ’60s and ’70s is in there — except for the fun stuff, like disco music and bell-bottom jeans.

Ignatieff wants to build big, showy government projects, like they did in the ’70s. He wants a high-speed train between Windsor and Quebec City, wasting money and interfering with private bus companies and airlines. At least he’s not planning to re-nationalize Air Canada again. That we know of.

Ignatieff wants to bring back Trudeau-style taxation policies, too, promising to raise taxes on business, with a special vengeance for Canada’s oilsands companies. Not only does he want to change tax accounting rules to squeeze money out of the oilsands faster — a half-billion-dollar bullseye drawn on jobs from Fort McMurray to St. John’s — he also wants to bring in a Stephane Dion-style carbon tax, called cap-and-trade.

In short, Canadian ethical oil producers would be punished, but oil imports from OPEC countries like Saudi Arabia wouldn’t.

Ignatieff’s carbon tax is pretty clearly an Alberta tax. It would not apply to energy producers in other provinces, like Ontario’s nuclear industry or Quebec’s hydroelectricity. So it’s just like Trudeau’s National Energy Program.

Ignatieff punishes the North, too. He calls for a halt to oil and gas exploration in the Arctic. So much for Inuit employment — they can go hunt seals for a living. If Ignatieff hasn’t banned that, too.

Ignatieff also came out against tanker ships taking oilsands oil from B.C. to Asia. So much for increased trade with that continent. But Canadian workers might be asking why Ignatieff hates tankers picking up oilsands oil, but is silent about the steady flotilla of tankers taking Alaska crude to the lower 48 U.S. states, by sailing right down the B.C. coast.

And then there’s new but unspecified “regulations” Ignatieff would impose on the oilsands. It’s already one of Canada’s most regulated industries. But Ignatieff has more red tape in mind. He won’t say what, until after the election.

Increased corporate taxes, increased oilsands taxes, oilsands tanker bans, more oilsands regulations and a complete halt to Arctic exploration. But billions for Liberal megaprojects.

It’s the worst of Trudeau. It’s the old Liberal motto: Screw the West, and we’ll take the rest.

That anti-Alberta bigotry was coined by Trudeau’s advisor, Keith Davey. His son, Ian Davey, is the man who recuited Ignatieff from Harvard. No surprise.

The CBC-Liberal pollster Frank Graves has a unifying theory for all this. Last year, Graves advised Ignatieff to “invoke a culture war.” He encouraged Ignatieff to label the west as racist, homophobic and small-minded.

“If the cranky old men in Alberta don’t like it, too bad,” he said. “Go south and vote for Palin.” The CBC has taken the Graves Strategy to heart. Now Ignatieff has too.

today harper is selling out the rest of canada to get some votes in quebec. they play him so well.

[mustardman]

Well then Tom if we can't trust Stephen and we can't trust Iggy then we'll have to vote for Jack.

Who's your NDP candidate in your riding? Have you talked to him about the "issues" to see where he stands?

[mustardman]

If you tried vote compass Tom you will find that you might be NDP

[TOM4CWB]

Mustard,

We have 5 sons and daughters.

For folks with no next generation... I suppose spend and tax will work for them... as they won't be around to pay for all of 'Duce' Jack and Iggys Billions $$$ that must come out of our next generation.

Democracy is only fair if Common Law rights/property rights are respected.

And those protections MUST apply to those in the next generation... who are not born or too young to vote.

Have a great day Mustard!

Kate over at SDA is more reliable than the state run CBC. A lot easier on the pocketbook as well.

[TOM4CWB]

Burbert,

Your trade marks of fear, intimidation, and deception are noted.

I have a moral obligation to fight for the rights of those yet to come... because those who came in 1881 fought for my family now.

What was the name of the provincial saskatchewan
party that lowered royalty rates to rock bottom
levels?

What was the name of the provincial alberta
government that wanted to increase royalties?

What was the name of the federal government that
has been pumping out record budgets(which means
more government no matter how you spin it)?

What was the name of the federal government that
actually cut spending?

Does anyone want to face up to this?

It is so pathetic how bad some have been snow
balled.
