Pre Election Gimmick?

To celebrate the end of my two week stint of full time work, a biggie for me, we are going to blow our climate action dividend cheques on dinner in an expensive restaurant.

On Wednesday I listened to a program on CBC. The minister responsible for the carbon tax on gasoline, the resulting lower taxes meant to offset the carbon tax and a $100 dollar cheque for each tax paying British Columbian, was defending his governments attempt to force us to adopt greener habits. According to the minister this means something like blowing the entire climate action dividend cheque on low energy lightbulbs, weatherize our doors and windows, getting our car tuned up. You get the picture.

The whole program put me in a very irritable mood, hence I wrote the previous post about the women driving the airconditioned SUV.

Because I 'm a goody goody, saw the writing on the wall and believed it, something about having kids, I've been living green for almost two decades. I think people will adopt greener habits because they want too not because Gordon Campbell and his ilk tell us too.

Every minister in the Liberal cabinet should tell us what they are doing to live a greener lifestyle. Now that's a CBC program I want to hear.
