JUST NOW:
• Said the words “tax shift” 8,000 times.
• May was asked by the eager and obviously EXTREMELY sympathetic reporters who attended her big policy platform news conference (in a public town square) how much all her massive spending promises would cost. She bumbled, fumbled, shuffled papers around, and, well, here’s exactly what it was like: An old Jerry Lewis movie. Soo that made it amusing for me. She seemed to ask her two aids and supporters if they knew how much this stuff would cost, and they didn’t seem to, so she held those papers up some more and wiggled and waggled them around a whole lot, then resolved, yelling, that “We’ll have a surplus! That’s our goal!” Yay. That’s some sound planning. (Snarf).
**UPDATE: SEE BELOW FOR CBC.CA “NEWS” REPORT ON MAY’S BIG DAY
• She had a heckler who she demanded shut up because he wasn’t a reporter, notwithstanding the FACT that she was conducting her lecture in an outdoor public square. And this was what she had described as a folksy precursor to her even folksier upcoming national “whistle stop train tour”, but you see, this was apparently just for the media elite. “And I don’t see any media credentials on you!” she warned him. BAD TOWNSFOLKS! PAY A CARBON TAX! But it was weird because the dozen or two “reporters” in attendance all seemed to clap and cheer wildly every time she announced another “party platform”. Choo choo! (Or is it cuckoo?)
• Promised a “national rail program” for freight and passengers. Well that’s odd. That doesn’t sound like capitalism. That sounds like communism. No reporters asked if she was a communist. (But I bet she gets a lot of their votes!).
• Is in favor of families growing pot in their gardens. She said it was a “green” thing. She’s a joker in oh so many ways. I imagine, like all the other left-wing parties, this “principle” or “policy” or “whatever they call this kind of nutbar BS”, is to attract the best and brightest to our country and encourage good, solid, lucid, sober families for our nation even while our kids smoke pot and get high as colorful kites in our lovely green streets.
• Informed us that George Bush got into an “illegal war” and “caused hundreds of thousands of lives lost”, and was “an abomination as a president”.
• Encouraged the “Tories”, who she correctly identified as the old Progressive Conservatives before they became the Conservatives, to rise up, and that they should sue Stephen Harper for “identity theft”. Because Harper is no Tory. I hope they do. It would be fun. Sue Bush too for that “illegal war”.
• She and her party are apparently approximately 178% about carbon taxes and raising taxes based on what she deems to be naughty people. Like producers.
• Here’s thinking from a nut:
She yelled (something like) this: If corporations emit too much pollution, they pay $50 per ton in carbon tax. If they reduce below some imaginary threshold dreamed-up by her and her experts, they get a tax credit of $50 per ton. Therefore, she triangulates, corporations will get a $100 tax credit under her regime. You see, she will “reduce taxes for corporations”. That’s like saying a weather reporter predicted a temperature of 75 degrees, but the temperature went up to 80 degrees, so, ipso facto and abracadabra, the temperature was 5 degrees.
• I couldn’t stand listening to her any longer. I’m inherently against listening to bumbling, intellectually dishonest people, particularly when they promise to raise taxes in order to social engineer society and punish producers and naughty people and create “national rail programs” and other communist-like things.
CBC.CA SUCKUP COVERAGE UPDATE:
As if on cue, CBC concludes, in an all-positive “report”, that May’s platform will produce “surpluses”. Debate over. Science settled. ABC.
She pledges “surpluses”. Not “new taxes”. Not “raising the GST”. Not “a ‘national’ state-owned, state-run train service”.
