With the onset of the anti Liberals ads by Harper and his Conservatives, they not only show contempt for our political process but pro American Harper is harmonizing this process with those of the USA by using personal attacks as political ads.

Yet, it is not just our political process that is at risk but also our policies. Please remember that until a few weeks ago Harper has often said the Kyoto Accord was nothing more than a "boondoggle" and he has never been convinced that global warming is a result of human activity.

Those who know Harper's history were not surprised that this would be his stand on the Accord. After all he has 20 years experience of attacking environmental regulations, especially in the oil industry. As a policy advisor to Preston Manning he always came out against strong regulations and heavy fines for the corporate polluters he would instead parrot the whine of industry; "It will hurt our competitiveness" in the world market.

With Harper now being a "reborn environmentalist", he and his party are proclaiming to be on board for regulations to start cleaning up the environment. YET, at they same time they are also citing the need all provinces to adopt the Trade Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement ( T.I.L.M.A.) that will see the deregulation of environmental laws at both the provincial and municipal levels.
Just like in the US, this agreement will give corporations the power to sue the province and/or municipality if they are barred from coming in and setting up their business - no matter what effect that business may have on the environment.

Think about it!
