Canadian Gas Tax

Gas Attack in Our Upper Bowel

“ Quite simply, Canadian Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty has gone nuts, and the leaders of the energy trust business -- a very necessary and integral part of the fossil-fuel ecosystem in North America -- are going to have to rid themselves of the anti-competitive constraints of this government. ...   Flaherty is, in fact a divorce attorney from Winnipeg. He has no global finance background at all, and was a provincial finance minister prior to his current position. ...  Remember that the new plan (to impose a 31.5% tax on energy trusts) only applies to publicly traded trusts -- non-public entities are NOT subject to the tax. ...  P.S. To really see how messed up the Canadian government is, go to YouTube and check out Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's January 2006 pledge that the Conservatives "will not in any way attack business trusts." It really shows you how confused these guys have become. MM E-mail tip ”
