Suzuki calls for doubling in price of gas

In what is surely his 'finest' moment as the goofy crown prince of penthouse socialism "Laurie David Suzuki" today called for a rise in gasoline taxes to raise the price to double what it is today. Or more.

Sure, that's the solution to everything. Tax. Tax. Tax. Somebody making $20,000 or $30,000 a year? Double the price of gas. The lunchbox guy or gal who lives outside of the downtown core? Forget em! They should live downtown. What's wrong with them, can't they afford a $900,000 condo at Yonge and Bloor? Or a mansion on Kitsilano Beach like one of my palatial residences? (He's got more than one.) Warm up the Lear Jet captain, we're flying to Ottawa for a photo op. Again. Whaddya mean, it's been almost a week!

I don't believe the latest year from hell has been a conspiracy by Marxists like Suzuki (who knows as much about climatology as the Ayatollahs do about Henny Youngman and the Catskills). I just believe it is a deliberately concocted hysteria, a curious acceleration and coincidental whipping-up and cashing-in on the IPCC-Kyoto con job. The left cannot get elected but if they do their Chicken Little "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" routine long enough it will work on enough people and they will be able to see some of their most awful policies become law due to the hysteria and confusion they have created along with their henchmen and fellow-travellers in the media.

No conspiracy BUT: If there was ever proof that "the lunatics are in charge of the asylum" it surely is evident for all to see when a miscreant Marxist hypocrite like Suzuki not only has a national podium any time he wants it but that virtually the entire liberal-left media (ain't that redundant) is not only cheerleading him on but fawning over his every sermon from the mount.

Doubling the price of gas. And this genius simultaneously says that Kyoto will bring the greatest economic boom we've ever seen.

Boom is right. Ka-boom. (Followed by the rustling sound of thirty-five million Canadians turning their back on this nutty professor.) Gas up the bus, gas up the Lear Jet. Somebody else is paying, there's a photo-op in Ottawa.

What a joke.
