My New Democratic Friends are strapped for cash!

Last year I sent an angry email to the NDP explaining to them that Global Warming, as it was then called, is not man-made, and that they were wrong in their environmental policy. I promptly got a reply thanking me, and that they too were concerned that human-induced global warming is destroying the planet (?), and then they added me to their email list calling me “friend”. So I sent another email asking them if they even read the email that comes in, to which I got no reply.

And so, this evening I received another email from my NEW Democratic “friends” begging me for money because they want to put a new ad on TV but they don’t have the money, so if I could please send them some.

Here’s the link if you want a preview of the new ad:

He now seems to be complaining the Conservatives are promising too little! He calls them “token tax cuts”. I suppose he’s never heard of a ‘recession’. He also complains that the Conservatives are helping their coporate friends, and not your kitchen table… or something. Ya gotta mention the friggin’ kitchen table again, eh? He himself, Jackie, will “protect people by training them for jobs in the future” (yes, he’s a psychic now), and “reward companies to keep jobs here”. Wait a minute, “reward companies”… isn’t that the same as “helping corporate friends”? Nah, can’t be…

Price tag of NDP promised so far from ctv.ca:

A moratorium on expansion of Alberta’s tarsands and requiring oil companies to reclaim land strip mined for petroleum production. No cost provided.
$8.2 billion over four years to create, protect and foster growth of “green-collar” jobs and manufacturing.
A “cap-and-trade” system to create incentives for big business to reduce their emissions. No cost provided.
Slash greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. No cost provided.
A price-monitoring agency to investigate price spikes and consult with provinces about regulations. No cost provided.
Cap credit-card interest rates at five per cent over prime.
Outlaw automated banking machine fees, saving consumers at least $104 per year.
$120 million a year in additional funding for women’s groups.
$1 billion over five years to expand medical and nursing schools, increasing the number of student spaces by 50 per cent.
$125 million a year to forgive student loans for medical-school grads who spend 10 years as family physicians.
$100 million for skills training and job creation.
Comprehensive review of Canadian banking regulations. No cost provided.
A national daycare program, enshrined in law, with 150,000 spaces in the first year. $1.4 billion a year at first, growing to estimated $2.2 billion.
Home-care program for seniors. $250 million in the first year growing to $1 billion a year by Year 4.

I like the “Slash greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. No cost provided.”. The biggest plan of all, 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the one that will bankrupt the country, has “no cost provided”. That’s probably because the cost will be more than the Gross National Product.

Please send Jackie some cash. I’m tired of getting his begging emails.
