Exposing More Harper Lies

Those who believe the Harper propaganda that the changes to environmental oversight contained in Omnibus Bill C-38 are simply 'housekeeping' and 'streamlining' measures may find this notification from the National Energy Board of interest:

As a result of the amendments to section 118, the Board no longer requires applicants for oil and gas export licences and gas import licences to file the following information under the Part VI Regulations:

12. (f) information respecting the potential environmental effects of the proposed exportation and any social effects that would be directly related to those environmental effects;

Information to be Furnished by Applicants for Licences for Importation

13. (e) information respecting the potential environmental effects of the proposed importation and any social effects that would be directly related to those environmental effects;

Another List of Targeted Tory M.P.s

Yesterday I posted a list sent to me of seven Conservative M.P.s to try to convince to 'call in sick' the day of the omnibus vote. Here is the next seven:

Action #23: Here are the next seven Conservative MPs. Please email them and ask that they "call in sick" on the day of the final budget vote. It will only take a few minutes of your time. By reporting back in a comment we will all be able to keep track of the campaign's progress. It will also encourage others to participate.

We're The Real Opposition Party - No, We are - NO, WE ARE

While the federal Liberals have adopted an interesting strategy by teaming up with Elizabeth May to introduce amendments that could delay the passage of the Conservative government’s omnibus budget bill, their childish boast that “We very clearly indicated that we are the real opposition here because we found that the best way to deal with this ...." tends to undermine any claim to superiority over the NDP.

Poisonous partisan politics, something Harper Inc. loves.
