Political Scam:

The carbon-killing scheme constructed by our prime Minister and his sexually-balanced cabinet easily qualifies as a not very funny joke.

Here's how I understand it: 

1) Ottawa taxes all heavy industry in Canada, each according to it's alleged carbon footprint;

2)Heavy industry, including farming, transit, transport and oil, mining, etc., raises the cost of its products in order to stay in business.

3)When we go out to buy things, we pay sharply higher prices for ordinary everyday items, including groceries, to compensate for the political levies on industry.

4)Canada Revenue Agency comes to the rescue, compensating us for increased costs and, by the way, buying votes.

5)This money-go-Around is supposed to improve our carbon footprint, reduce Global Warming and prevent the climate from changing.

Does anyone else see this as a poorly considered scam that might have been cooked up as an exercise in a fourth-grade classroom?

The Ottawa politicians obviously view the electorate as incapable of thinking things all the way through to a logical conclusion.

They're probably right. Look who we elected.
