Harper kneels before the Environmentalists.
Today, Harper ate crow (not the endangered kind,) and called for ideas from the environmentalist on how to deal with the pollution problem.
But why did it take him so long? After all, he is an educated person, though conservative. Why did he have to be kicked into working against pollution?
Well, the reason, presented simply, is that pollution works differently for Conservatives than it works for Liberal-NDP-Greens.
First, here is how pollution fits into the Conservative world view:
The Conservative Pollution Nexus.
Conservatives' supporters are rich Canadians.
Rich people have money to invest.
Investment opportunities are provided by business.
Business needs pollution.
So conservatives need pollution.
You may say, 'Come, come now, what about the effing Liberals?'
My answer is, there is a connection, but it is a bit different.
The Liberal-NDP Pollution Nexus.
Liberal supporters are poor Canadians.
Poor canadians need jobs. After all "The best social program is still a job"- Stephen Harper
Business provides Jobs.
So Liberals need business but only for the jobs.
The difference comes from the following points:
$1:
Conservative angle - Businesses who do not have to bother about pollution always earn more for their investors.
Harper therefore cannot push anti-pollution measures without offending his rich Canadian supporters.
But:
$1:
Liberal-NDP angle - Jobs created by business is not correlated to the pollution issue. In fact, polluting industries may be bad for workers, who usually live in the vicinity.
Dion can push harder for anti pollution measures.
Liberal, NDP and Bloc will just keep pushing Conservatives. For them it is a win win situation against Harper.

WTF are you talking about? He's been in government for a year. The Liberals were in for something like 13 years what did we get from them? SFA. Some of you liberals need to open up your way of thinking, maybe take off those blinders.

One of my NDP friends has just pointed out another angle.
$1:
Conservatives: Our rich friends make less money with pollution control costs, so if you workers want jobs, just work and inhale pollution. Health is your personal problem.
$1:
Liberals-NDP: We care for you, in good times and bad. Your health matters to us. Society will meet your health care needs. Pollution illnesses mean higher costs, and we like healthy workers.

The conservative philosophy of being supported by rich Canadians is a life long thing. Whether Harper is there for a week or a year, it won't change.
He will always try to work FOR the rich AGAINST the workers.
Iggy, really. It's time to fuck off. Seriously.
Post something intelligent or fuck off.

I agree that conservatives are an endangered species...

Rarely can someone post what I would say but I think "Ontheice" said it so eloquently.
Iggy I think I am beginning to understand who you really are, it won't be much longer before we Liberals and Conservatives rat you out. You shame the "Good and decent" Liberals on this forum with your tripe and foolishness. Note to Cons: Iggy isn't a true "Liberal" he is most likely from that other "Forum" where Rev Dierier rules the roost with his commie diatrite. Gag me with a spoon and drive over me with a tractor.

Scrappy, what party do you belong to?
Are you working at uniting Liberals and Conservatives?
And if you do, is it under Harper or Dion?

You wouldn't know an intelligent post if it punched you in the face.
Please, make this forum better. Make the Liberal party look better. Leave.

OnTheIce, you are a bit confused, aren't you.?
If the Liberal Party looks better, then all your conservative friends may leave and join it!
So as a true conservative, you should be requesting me to stay and help you!
Perhaps you are secretly a Liberal?
