I am deep in research planning my next step in life… and I really want that step to positively affect our health, our future, our global economy, our global relations, our children
and
our efforts to see past oneself and to see that we are all in this together.

For me, every element of Climate Change is terrifying. Many will admit that they are scared of the unknown, well… this is the biggest unknown that our human civilization has ever had to forecast. Everyday I feel the effects of climate change and everyday I am humbled by the power of both Human comfort and our planets determination.
We are comfortable due to greed, we are greedy due to competitiveness and we are competitive because we have all lost the understanding of family.
We are all family.
Our great-grandparents in Africa and our new born siblings in China. As Archbishop Desmond Tutu once said; would you ever ask your Granny to “step up and get hauling those boxes from the cellar” and to your new born baby “play with these old rusted and toxic toys” and to your teenage sister “contribute great sums of $ to our family bank, all your allowance. birthday money and savings”.

WE are all facing the greatest challenge of humankind, its mass survival. We are all facing this challenge together and we need to find a solution that both allows our developing countries to develop (as we have) and our developed countries to maintain sufficient quality of life, enough to continue to generate innovative ideas to harmonize this balance of development.

Is it green technology sharing, is it global legislature, is it a new global green economy ?

here is a quick stat i would like to share…..
Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions:
35 % comes from fossil fuel production, industrial processing and manufacturing – and oil and gas production account for more than half of that.
22 % comes from services, residential, waste and agriculture
16 % comes from electricity and heat generation.
And the remaining 27 % comes from transportation – about half of that from cars and light trucks.

Happy Earth Day - je t’embrasse fortement … Avec tout mon coeur.

a quick thought to share…
It is tax season and every single time I go through this I am totally baffled that every single Canadian Citizen is going through the same thing as myself… and… we are all ok with it?

We are all being punished for our hard work. We are all paying more and more the more we contribute to a better community, to a greater economy, to a more advanced society. The harder we work the more we are punished.
Since when is our efforts, brains and hard work a public good.
According to myself, the Green Party’s globally and many other Countries worldwide; the only thing that is apublic good and can be taxed are our natural resources and our environment. None of us have ownership on the water, land, air and energy. These are public goods and therefore when we pay our taxes we should pay for how much we use of these public goods.
A Carbon tax is fair !
A carbon tax Canada would discourage mass consumption instead of discouraging hard working individuals.
A carbon tax Canada would encourage conservation, and encourage the protection of our natural resources instead of encouraging laziness and trickery.
A Carbon Taxed Canada would bring awareness to our consumption and help all of us understand and relate to our foot-print.
A Carbon Tax Canada give YOU the CHOICE to save money on taxes by using less energy, water, producing less waste.

Lets give the choice and awareness back to Canadian and stop punishing them for their efforts.
