I continue to endorse Stephane Dion’s carbony green tax grab plan.
Boy am I ever glad I’m not Stephane Dion today. […]
“Just one moment please” said the polite woman who answered the phone, in response to my inquiry. Seconds later, another person picked up the phone. I repeated that I was inquiring about ‘the green shift’ and was asked “Are you calling about us or about the federal Liberal campaign?” I could tell this person was not happy.
[…]
The answer came just as I finished stating the purpose of my call. There was no relationship, and the person I was speaking with, while very polite, was absolutely furious that this has happened. It was suggested to me that Green Shift has lost both new business and existing clients since Thursday who have been frightened off at the perception of a relationship between them and the federal Liberal Party. You can’t blame businesses for not wanting to do business with anyone affiliated with a political party, but unfortunately, this is not the case with Green Shift are they are being unfairly punished as a result of the Liberal Party’s actions.
I was told that Green Shift has worked extremely hard for 10 years to become one of the most successful vendors of green services and products only to be faced with the reality that all this work may be wiped out in a matter of days. I was told that Green Shift did a brief interview with CTV late last week but tried to keep it low key as they had not yet decided upon what the official response be. It seems today that along with a press release, a Cease and Desist notice will be issued..
More on LIberal shiftiness from Stephen Taylor…
How to win friends and influence people.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
This is great comedy. It’s going to be a fun summer.
You tink eets izzy come oop wit da new name, tabernac!! how me debate dat.
cheers bubba
Heh.
Dion: stuck on stupid.
No party which plans on winning an election should ever nominate a sociologist professor to lead them.
Green Shaft it is then !
These people want to form a government?! The NDP would be more competent.
I’m not really big on suing people, but if “Green Shift” (TM) were my business, I’d now be speaking with both lawyers and venture capitalists…
…VCs so that I’d have enough money to properly go after these idiots.
remember , the lieberal party is broke, and they still havent paid back the Adscam money.
meant to phone my MP on that .
Cherniak MUST have been in charge of the copyright and url check.
Oh, BTW – nice plan Iggy/Rae.
Bankrupt the Liberal brand, bury it with all its sins, and come back under a new name.
I wonder who owns the right to “Progressive Party of Canada”?
I’m sure the folks at greenshift.com, a publicly traded firm [GERS] isn’t too thrilled either. Dion will have an American finger a little upset with his gnarly ambition’s “finger in the eye” treatment.
Don’t they have some lawyer types to look into this stuff first!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(breathe)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAH!
They should call it what it REALLY is:
a green weiner!
from report on Business at G&M..Green begins to fade..link to story at Bourque.Seems the biz community NOT big fans of Little Steffi’s money grab,and just now on Adler,David Herle admits NOT revenue neutral.The wheels are comin’ of the big red bus kiddies,and it is delicious to watch.
canadians will still vote for these stupid assholes.

EXCELLENT !!
I am now cleaning my keyboard
Oh, it’s hilarious. Only the Liberals could do such a thing.
Here they are, trying to switch the location of ‘corruption’ from themselves, The Corrupt Liberals, to Canadian industries, which they define as ‘Polluters who treat our environment as a garbage dump’ (see their summary in their document)..and they’ve stolen the trademark of a registered Canadian company.
Never mind that their document is itself filled with dishonesty and open manipulation of numbers, percentages and predictions..eg, ‘this approach will dramatically improve the environment’. How? There’s nothing in it about new technology or enabling firms to install new technology.
It’s just a money scam. Oh, and a trademark scam.
Only the Liberals, who live in the utopian intellectual and civil service isolation of Ottawa-Montreal and haven’t a clue about reality.
David Herle admits NOT revenue neutral.
The hell , you say ! Why , next you’ll be telling us there’s something fishy about this global warming information going around !
i sincerely hope the company “Green Shift” gives the LPC a really good shaft and not necessarily green. demand that all copies of the manual be burned and then sue them for something besides money as they don’t have any. LOL
sue the liberals for there entitlements. that should work.
dammit that won’t work either. thats our money !!!
there has to be something…..
So this is what the brain trust at Liberal headquarters had to do.
1. Go to the Canadian Trade-marks Database here:

2. Type “Green Shift” into the first field.
3. Hit “Search”.

I posted this at “crux of the matter”, I called them at about 11:00 Eastern Time.
I just called them (416-925-9665) , a very professional (young?) lady answered the phone. I mentioned to her what I have been hearing, and asked her simply right away if they were affiliated with the Liberal party, she almost “knee-jerk” shot back by saying “NO”. She mentioned that they are dealing with them on the issue. Seems like a no issue to me, Liberals should “cease and dismantle” before this thing grows. I made it clear that I was an engineer who was interested in possobily doing business with them, which I am, but wanted to make sure they have no political affiliation. I honestly don’t care what party someone belongs to, but when your company starts supporting getting involved in some policitical plan, I don’t have the stomach for that………………THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THEM AT ALL. To be honest, she seemed annoyed with whole situation, I am sure I was not the only one calling about this. lol. Good luck to their company, I would sue the Liberals pants off if they copyrighted something of mine and didn’t stop right away and give some practical compensation. I would do the same for the CONS or NDP, this is a non-political issue, companies get ruined for people not doing their homework.
So…………Stephan Dion, if you are reading this “cease and dismantle”
That’s how Libranos operate!!!
… and from a previous posting on SDA:
Librano$ are BAAaack!

Should have called it what it really was, the “Loony Shift”.
Fred,
Glad I could be of assistance…..
It may very well be true…he IS the new media guru for that part of the world. It would be quite in line with his litany of other unresearched faux pax’s.
No it couldn’t be Jason Cherniak, he’s to much of a idiot. It had to be Garth Turner, he been yapping about this plan for months. The laws pertain to everyone else except Garth Turner. It will be interesting to see who takes the fall for this one. If they are ever sued for this copyright infringement, you can say this plan just did the fast spin down the shifter.
Brilliant!
The copyrighted owners of ‘Green Shift’ will have to make an issue of this and sue to get the publicity they need to disassociate themselves with the LPC.
If they don’t, they’re going to lose business and credibility.
This is “priceless”! How Libranoesque!
Sue them down to their socks!
By the way, does anyone know if Bob or Steffi or Iggy have paid off their debts? No election if these debts are still outstanding. I really want to kick these guys when they are down, HARD! And, as for Elections Canada and the partisan trough-feeders at CHRC, Fire. Them. All.
Clean house Mr. Harper, or you’ll start to look like a Librano yourself.
Do You Tink It’s IZzy To Make A Green Shift?
Kate, that Dion guy does talk like that! Hahaha…He must be an endless source of amusement. I can’t wait to see what the greenies are cooking up for us here in the US. I’ll bet Gore has struck a deal with oBSama by now.
JT has a point, Mr. Harper, just disolve parliament already, who f-ing cares, I have nothing to loose. Even if the liberals win, I will move to Alberta and add fuel to the flame of a sepertist movement there. Sick of the Liberal Party of Toronto.
Now they can call it “Green Sh*t”
On a CBC news program yesterday Susan Riley a”journalist from the Ottawa Citizen ” called Dion a visionary for his “Green Shift” carbon tax grab.
Quite the visionary,one who has resorted to stealing a name from a legitimate company to brand a hair brained ponzie scheme.
To paraphrase songwriter Rick Fines it seems that
“Riley needs her brain back”.

It’s the green shift @ . Not quite the same is it?
Dion has no more than 7 months to live on this. This is why he is rolling the dice now.
Election will happen no later than October 19 2009 by legislation.
If Dion goes they’ll need the sumer of 2009 to heal wounds, prepare for election and intro leader around…traditional summer BBQ season.
This means Lib leadership convention no later than June of 2009.
Campaign for leadership will need to be AT LEAST 4 months long….which means Dion has till early February AT THE LATEST to step down. Any later and the Libs are running with him.
So that means 7 months maximum. The danger for the Cons is the Liberals will pull the switcheroo at exactly that moment and the Libs will have the new leader Rae or Iggy going into the election.
Fixed election dates are the STOOOPIDEST thing Harper ever did. It means, in a minority all of the power and none of the discipline is on the opposition side.
Harper needs to engineer his own defeat this fall…any later and he is either facing a resurgent Dion, unlikely, or a Liberal leader fresh from a convention that will be engineered to prevent what just happened.
A fall election so we can get a con majority. Need to do it before Dion injures hiself so far that he resigns.
Re: Posted by: Stephen at June 23, 2008 4:41 PM
…………
Regardless of Dion’s fate, the Liberals are SOL on leadership.
If Liberals attempt to precipitate an election after the Fall’08 Throne Speech, the BQ or NDP might hold off voting no confidence and push any election into the dead of Winter .. when Dion will have to ‘sell’ Canadians on carbon-taxed home heating fuel oil and natural gas. Good luck …LOL
If the Harper government is finally defeated in Spring’09, Canadians may turn against the opposition parties for not waiting until scheduled October 19th. The opposition had better have overwhelming cause for defeating the government and a premature election, or else they will be whacked by angry Canadians.
When you think of it, it may not matter when the Liberals have their election or new leader because they have urban strongholds that will forever support them even if they ran Bernardo as a candidate .. like in Toronto..!!!
I was having a pretty hectic & shitty day here at work today, Until I Read That. Jeeeezzzz that has got to be the funniest i have seen in awhile Shit these Libranos are going to be spending more time in Libel Courts then Out there Explaining Their Green Shit Plan Iam still laughing as iam trying to type this
Now will the MSM pick up on this?
Give Dion a little green hat and he could play Marvin the Martian. It is going to be a very interesting summer……
There is still no conclusive proof that CO2 immitions are contributing to GW. Why has this argument fallen completely off the rail? Is the world even warming? I think we should get tax credits for buring fossil fuels.
A successful company of 10 years is about to be destroyed because of the careless Liberals

With this disclaimer it would seem the weasel liberals knew what they were doing, and by the use of the disclaimer they thought they could get away with it. Trying to bend the rules has Garth Turner written all over it. You know the funny thing is that if they left out the disclaimer and the link to Green Shift, this matter would most likely never have come up.
Dijon says that the Liberal Party is really, really, really going to try ever so hard, really, this time, in the Fall, to push for an election.
Liberal Blogger has supply more ammunition for Green Shift to sue the liberal party.
http://redtory.blogspot.com/2008/06/doh.html
Use a companies name and make fun of it is the liberal way of life.
Hey, this is the party that took away Canadian’s right to own property, right to self defense, and lately right to free speech. Check for copyright/trademark? Why?
Good luck to Green Shift with that lawsuit, eh? I’d sooner try to sue Kim Jong Il in a N. Korean court.
Someone over at Jacks put some word together and guess what

But, he did say he would raist the gst back to 7%.
Bill D. Cat :
More like Green Stiff when it comes to Alberta.
As happy as I am to see them sky dive without a parachute. This is only one battle. Its a continuing vaudeville act with these characters. I am thinking perhaps they are so out of mode in thought or the ability to create newspeak, they come off sounding like wind up dolls from the 60’s. Expect a counter attack any time now. Even an ant knows when its threatened, will fight the herder to survive when its luxury is imperiled. That’s why its so important to de-normalize these Inquisitions & there acolytes at every turn.
Herb or alcohol soaked mentalities living on a stoned cloud of there own dope spun realities. They should sober up to the factual world. There are people who do honest work paying while these lay a bouts with grand ideas to pillage us all. Just continue to live in a sparkly world of make believe. I say because the more they do the stranger they become to everyone. I especially love there quaint speech patterns, that no one but insiders can fathom. Its like seeing the government issue Stepford People bureaucrats.
To hell with Dion/Liberal Cronies and his/their Green Shift Carbon Tax cash grab!
Does the Left ACTUALLY think they can control the climate?
Great post, Kate. I’m behind you on this issue, all the way!
“Do you tink it is izzy to make a green shift?”. I have never given this much thought until now. I think that possibly eating lots of asparagus may be the way to go.Digesting a few crayons may do the trick,but they would be harder to digest.
Oh, wait, Harris Decima poll says if carbon tax explained well, if Tories agree to say nothing whatsoever, but then decide to campaign on this one issue only, if warnings of Liberals like John Manley of distorting tax effects of his policy are ignored/wrong, if Canadians can actually understand Dion sales job, if we don’t have economic slowdown, if no other issues come up, if fuel riots in Europe and Asia stop, if only voters from Toronto turn out … if.
Another fantasy poll, brought to you by our illustrious MSM. Truth be told, highly unlikely to play out that way. No money to sell plan, no leader for Canadians to identify with, no chance Tories won’t offer rebuttal. More likely result is poor selling job, Harper creams Dion in debate now or during election, after Harper tweaks his own plan, the one that deals with real pollution, not those corrupt industries spewing CO2, and tells industry and government they will all have to work together to develop clean fuel technology.
Maybe Harris Decima could do that poll, or even an honest one where they ask voters who they would support in general election. What’s with these fantasy/theoretical/second choice crap polls that tell us nothing of real value.
The only risk that Harper runs is that the public actually feels sorry for Dion and stays home (ie Harper overplays his hand on attacking policy), except the big city voters who turn out for taxation and revenue neutral largesse. Fat chance, won’t happen, IMO.
Doze pimples taked my green chiff name hoff me! Day worked voar arpurr. Hi hinfected da liprl green sheet wid mineown hayt. Foat green shiti, foat liprl.
The “Green Tax Grab Plan”. Sounds apt to me, Kate.
