I can understand people accepting the Green Party ideas, but the tax on =
fuel is completely unacceptable to me, and most of my friends. Under the =
Green plan the price of heating oil will increase 10 % this year, and =
40% in four years, and there is no substitute in site. I think instead =
of trying to tax people to death the emphasis should be on new ways to =
heat our homes. I am far more concerned about what will happen this =
winter than I am in what will happen to our world in a hundred years =
time. I also am told that methane gass on the floor of the ocean is a =
greater danger than carbon.

Hello folks,=20

While most of us would agree with Blake that a Harper majority =
would be a disaster for Canada, I would hope that most would vote for =
the party that has the best understanding of, and solutions for, =
environmental issues, unless you are in a constituency where there is a =
real danger that the regressive conservatives might eke out a narrow =
victory. This idea of exchanging votes strategically may have merit, =
but it depends on complete trust between the persons doing the exchange =
and so is subject to abuse, as well as to wrong guesses as to which =
party would have the best chance of an upset. =20
=20
At the risk of sounding political (I have not yet decided whom to =
vote for), I am envious of the residents of Central Nova, who not only =
have a chance to elect the leader best informed on environmental issues =
(and the only female), but to defeat Peter MacKayavelli, who is an =
embarrassment to Canadians still best known for his betrayal of the PCs =
by breaking the promise that he gave in writing to get the leadership of =
the party. No wonder that he couldn't understand what all the fuss was =
about when Harper decided that the government should disregard (or =
break) the Atlantic Accords. We can only hope that enough of the voters =
there will think carefully, instead of just voting for a favorite son of =
a favorite son.

Hi All;
I care deeply for the nature of Nova Scotia, and the environment of =
the world. Consequently, it is necessary to get political at times. =
This is one of those times.
I shudder at the thought of Harper achieving a majority government. =
The environment, our culture, and our society will suffer. But how can =
we make our anti-Harper votes count? Fortunately, voting strategically =
is now much easier. Go to:
www.voteforenvironment.com
It is a remarkable website that is tracking every riding in the =
country, and making up-to-the-minute suggestions on how best to fight =
Harper.=20
And afterwards, I urge you to contact your friends, family, =
colleagues, and everyone on your e-mail list, and let them know about =
this web site. If we can affect the results in some key ridings, who =
knows what might happen? Our environment and our society deserve our =
support. =20
Respectfully,
Blake Maybank
