33. CLIMATE CHANGE
• It is pretty sad that we have so many people believing the pro-climate people than others sources, why? How of those
same people do not know how Tides? http://www.tides.org/. Tide.org is pushing funding up to stop the oil sands, why?
http://habledash.com/political-insight/254-the-tides-foundation-the-heart-of-the-radical-left. It appears me this
organization has done some backing for Obama?
• Yet there are no comments from people to why the Greenpeace director spoke out about radical views of Greenpeace,
why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA6WZ4SX_-0
• Yet we have people like Butts that will start at nothing to have no carbon in Canada:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrdSCKDR5-Y. JT does support keystone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViTIdnDJPj0
• So, where do the LPC stand on oil shipments? It appears to me that LPC only interested in pipelines that do not touch LPC
held areas!!
• Here is what leading scientist said about UN and Climate Change:

34. CLIMATE CHANGE
• The Weather Channel - http://viral.buzz/video-there-is-no-global-warming-says-founder-and-former-ceo-of-
the-weather-channel/
• It seems to me that Canada emissions are not the issue as compare to elsewhere in the World:
http://business.financialpost.com/2014/11/27/new-emissions-from-canadas-oil-sands-extremely-low-says-
ieas-chief-economist/?__lsa=7cb9-37c0
• http://www.wri.org/blog/2014/11/6-graphs-explain-world%E2%80%99s-top-10-emitters. How would a
carbon tax help reduced emissions in Canada or make an impact on countries like India/China/USA? It seems
to me that your party does not live in reality to big issues facing Canada, especially the economy and/or how
big emitters have done little to curb greenhouse gases. So, is your party going to look at a carbon tax on
items coming from China, India and USA?
• Here is the BC results of their Carbon Tax

35. HOW DO COMPANIES GROW?
• Access to capital/seed financing (http://www.canadabusiness.ca/eng/page/2848/)
• Partnering with university (https://mcmasterinnovationpark.ca/)
• Taxation policies (EI and Corporation Tax cuts - http://www.cfib-fcei.ca/english/article/5299-
employment-insurance-helping-workers-back-to-work.html or http://www.cfib-
fcei.ca/english/article/7209-cfib-gives-2015-budget-an-a-big-tax-cut-for-small-business.html

36. GREEN ENERGY MISTAKES
• Pushing Green at all costs
• FIT/Ontario - http://www.blazingcatfur.ca/2015/04/30/trudeau-advisor-gerald-butts-green-energy-policies-
cost-ontario-300000-jobs-admits-liberal-think-tank/ - Both the NDP and LPC seem to be pushing projects
without understanding costs or how best to move projects forward as part of diversifying the economy
• Leverage existing programs and/or expanding programs
• SDTC is very good, but needs to be expanded including more moneys to help with technology
• Breaking down internal trade barriers to allow free flow on technology/resources (AB program is benefitting
Canada - http://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/financing/ccemc-annual-report-213m-in-funds-supports-1-
56b-in-value-128173/, but more needs to be done to be done as part of expanding business opportunities

37. EXPORTS

38. EXPORTS
• Clean Tech exports approximate $6B
• CAGR 11%
• Each $1B of export sales generates 5,500 jobs

43. UNITED STATES
• Taxpayers are on the hook for more than $2.2 billion in expected costs from the federal government’s energy loan
guarantee programs, according to a new audit Monday that suggests the controversial projects may not pay for
themselves, as officials had promised. Source: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/apr/27/obama-

1% of total energy consumption.Source: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/11/failure-barack-obama-blew-
