This summer winds down with a thrill to politicians. Harper seeks an election. According to a recent poll, conducted by who the hell cares, Harper has been calling in the opposition leaders in order to declare that the Parlaiment is unworkable.
The issue dividing the electorate is the fear that the Liberals will bring in a carbon tax. Another tax grab to be sure. Yet the new tax is to lower the thirst for energy by increasing the cost of energy.
Lets back up a bit. Here is an electorate that cites the environment as a big issue. Governments should do something about the environment. Yet no one wants to drop their personal consumption of an ever depleting energy source. Everyone else has to do it.
The citizens of Canada are not alone. The Europeans cite global warming as a great concern caused by the burning of fossil fuels mostly oil. But when they hear that the Ice Cap disappears, they go oh good, there is a lot of cheap oil up there under that Ice Cap.
So much for Bangle Dissed and the Pacific Islands. Oh the hypocrisy of Canadians rises to new heights. Harper, and all the other hypocrites count on that.

OK, I'll admit it. I'm already sick and tired of the hundreds of Conservative advertisements I've been forced to endure and the sight of Stephen Harper's false face, sickly smile and the sound of his lying voice already make feel like vomiting.
As I watch, in my head there's a litany; that's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, too. There's a lie, there's another lie...
At least it isn't going to last as long as the U.S. marathon of insulting deception.
I'm curious. Has anyone else seen any advertisements at all by the other political parties? To date, I haven't seen a single one yet.
Have they even figured out there's an election or do they think, just because Harper passed a law, mandating the next election in 2009, he's actually going to obey the law?
