McGuinty and Hargrove oppose Ottawa's Green Plan
They are declarining it an attack on provincial autonomy, that holy grail of the Harpocrites. Of course like Rumsfelds attack on Old Europe, the Conservatives are attacking an Old Ontario industry while ignoring booming Alberta's Green House gases. What is good for the Alberta gander gets Ontario the goose.
However that being said, both McGuinty and Hargrove are guilty of old industrial thinking, as I have said here. They could have adopted the NDP Green Auto plan for subsidizing the auto sector, but instead they just handed out no strings attached corporate welfare. So much for Hargroves strategic politics.
Now they are being forced to do the right thing for the wrong reasons. That is the Conservatives Smog Elimination Plan is not a Green Plan. And while they regulate one industrial sector the Harpocrites fail to regulate Alberta's energy sector.
