From 'the Canadian Press':

B.C. Finance Minister Carole Taylor sports green shoes for her green budget

VICTORIA - British Columbia's finance minister has pulled out a pair of green shoes to help emphasize that her budget on Tuesday will be a "green" one.*

Carole Taylor says she can't think of a topic that has had more pre-budget consultation than climate change. She says without question, people are backing the idea that B.C. should be a leader, not a follower, on climate action.

She says the one thing she knows for sure is that she will be criticized if she brings in a carbon tax, and criticized if she doesn't.

Taylor says beyond any tax measures, the government will be introducing incentives to help people go green.

Oh dearie me, this is going to be a gong show tomorrow. I am already filled with a preemptive GAHHHHHH!!! sort of rage. The Liberals are ALL ABOUT over-consumption, waste, and me-me-me, so I can hardly bear to anticipate what sort of ridonkulous measures they will inflict upon us in the name of lip-service environmentalism. Worse, David Suzuki will be in the news applauding their efforts, however retarded they are. So I'll have to look at his face, and get raped in the pocketbook, all in the name of making No Difference At All.

*Canada has this tradition of the Finance Minister sporting new shoes prior to the unveiling of that year's budget. Last year Carol Taylor sported $600 stilettos: "That may seem expensive [to you peasants] but not if you consider the wear that I'll get out of them." This year it is Fluevogs she has. Wah, Fluevogs!! I have a soft spot for those. Until now. That hell witch!!
