I got a reply from the Prime Minster’s office today.

Remember that email I fired off to the Prime Minister a couple of days ago? I got a reply! Here’s what the reply said:

Dear Mr. Pinno:

On behalf of the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, I would like to thank you for your e-mail, in which you raised an issue which falls within the portfolio of the Honourable Jim Prentice, Minister of Industry. The Prime Minister always appreciates receiving correspondence on subjects of importance to Canadians.

Please be assured that the statements you made have been carefully reviewed. I have taken the liberty of forwarding your e-mail to Minister Prentice, so that he too may be made aware of your comments. I am certain that the Minister will give your views every consideration. For more information on the Government’s initiatives, you may wish to visit the Prime Minister’s Web site, at www.pm.gc.ca.

It’s nice to get a reply back, and that it got forwarded to Minister Prentice. Hopefully, they got lots of emails and will reconsider passing such legislation!

On the subject of Canadian politics, the Liberals if elected want to give us a new tax in the form of a carbon tax. It’s supposed to be revenue neutral. What does that mean? Does it mean we’ll each get a refund for the amount of tax we pay? I doubt it! It’s looks to me like the Liberals have found a way to pay for expensive programs they want to put into place while looking to be environmentally friendly. It does not fly past me though! They had ten years after they signed it to put it into effect, and now that they are not ruling the place, they want to appear green? I think they’re just trying to scam their way into us electing them into office!
