It's Time To Let Go Of The Grudge

Many in Atlantic Canada may still regard Stephen Harper as "too much of a Westerner" and may still hold a grudge against the Conservatives because of last year's equalization dispute. But who said the Liberals with their carbon tax are going to be better for Atlantic Canada?

So far the Liberals have already had to make some changes in their carbon tax scheme, trying to make it look slightly better for Nova Scotia. Still, with coal being the primary target of Dion's tax plan, it's hard to see how this could ever be acceptable (let alone - beneficial) to a province like Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia & Newfoundland better pay heed to what Steffi is telling the west about the carbon tax. Our economies are going to be wrecked badly by this carbon tax & he doesn't give a s##t about us. Mind you the results of his would be handiwork wouldn't be anywhere near as catastrophic as it will be for Alberta & Saskatchewan, but given how fragile our economy is here in NS, we're gonna get hurt by this.
Well said. It's time for the provincial politicians (as well as for voters who still can't forget the leftover PC party) to let go of the grudge, take an unbiased look at the major parties and decide for themselves which party they would want to form the next government.
