Premier’s ads fill our airwaves with nonsense

-

Re Our money, more lies, Editorial, May 13 Half-truths and dishonest nonsense at my expense! That’s the latest from the Ford government and his trained seals. They say in their ads that Conservati­ves have another way to handle the problem of global warming. But that’s partisan nonsense and ignorant.

True, people dislike paying more for gasoline and home heating. But if the Ford government told the truth and completed the story, including the offsetting rebates they will earn, many people will agree that the only way we will reduce carbon emissions is if it hurts a bit to use carbon fuels. Best way to do that is to make us pay. Oh my god! That’s a tax isn’t it? Yes. But if we don’t do that, carbon emissions will continue to destroy our environmen­t.

Please, Premier Ford, stop using my tax dollars to fill the airwaves with BS! Bruce Rogers, Lindsay, Ont.
