Don't Even Think About A Carbon Tax, Shawn!

New Brunswick Liberal Premier Shawn Graham, way over on the left (in every sense of the word), is thinking about imposing a carbon tax (pardon my French!) in New Brunswick.

Next-door Premier of Nova Scotia, Rodney MacDonald, a Tory, to his credit, rightly denounces the Librano scheme as a "tax on people". Of course. Only the truly greedlustful, mean-spirited Librano$ would think it's a good idea to make life that much harder for those who simply cannot afford to pay so much more for essentials and who also don't have much, if any, personal income tax to cut to make up for the boosted cost of living with which the Librano$ want to slap us all.

Shawn, you must be a man and tell off your Dionista Librano masters. Don't be a puppet; be a leader. Don't be stupid; be smart.

You, sir, have an option. Choose the right one, not the wrong one.

Should, however, you permit the Dionista Librano$ to tell you how to run New Brunswick, then I'm afraid you'll have made a powerful political enemy. Right now I'm the little-fish-in-the-big-sea Canadian Sentinel. As New Brunswick is a far, far smaller jurisdiction than the entire federation, I believe I'd enjoy far, far greater attention herein as the "New Brunswick Sentinel". Don't make me go there by going there, Shawn. The carbon tax concept isn't a "right thing", believe me, and I can see how it'd devastate not only Canada, but doubly New Brunswick to boot, should everything turn, horrors of horrors, all Liberal red again.

Don't endanger New Brunswick's fragile economy, Premier Graham.

If you do, you gain a powerful political pundit dedicated to taking away your throne and giving it to a real leader instead...
