Com a 3 Ottawa Energy Industry experts say Consumers will pay More for Gas at the pump regardless of whether conservative or Liberal policies Are adopted to Cut the greenhouse Gas emissions that cause climate change. The costs to Consumers to Cut greenhouse gases is expected to be a major Issue in the Federal election Campaign that could be underway As soon As next week. Prime minister Stephen Harper has described the Liberal plan which involves a Carbon tax to encourage business and Consumers to reduce Energy consumption As insane and crazy. Harper has said the Liberal proposal will Force canadians to pay More for Gas and that will Hurt the Economy. Representatives of the country is gasoline refiners and retailers told a House of commons committee wednesday that Gas prices will indeed Rise under the Liberal Green shift plan. A Carbon tax would increase the Price of gasoline at the pump said Jane Savage chief executive officer of the Canadian Independent Petroleum marketers association. Savage whose organization represents about 70 per cent of Canadas Gas retailers was responding to a question put to her and other witnesses at the committee by conservative my Colin Carrie. But the conservative approach to cutting greenhouse gases a mix of regulations technology investments and new markets to Trade emission credits will also result in higher pump prices said Energy Industry executives after testifying wednesday at a House of commons committee. I think wed be fooling ourselves if however we Deal with the Issue of climate change that in the end theress not going to be some Cost to canadians and theress not going to be some element of economic dislocation Peter Boag president of the Canadian Petroleum products Institute said after testifying at the committee meeting. I think thatus inevitable in dealing with an Issue thatus As problematic and challenging As climate change. Can West news services Price of Gas would Rise under grit or tory plans say experts Ottawa conventional Wisdom suggests Stephen Harper must be mad to thrust the country into an election at a time when he has Little Hope of winning a majority. The prime minister himself has acknowledged that Public opinion polls Arentt particularly wonderful. My expectation is that we will have another minority Harper said wednesday in Tuktoyaktuk n. W. T., where hers on a three Day Campaign like swing through the Arctic. So Why have an election it gives the government a fresh mandate said Harper. A former chief of staff to Harper suggests theress More to this seemingly self evident benign response than meets the Eye. Tom Flanagan a political scientist at the University of Calgary believes Harper would be satisfied to return with a strengthened minority a result that would throw the liberals into chaos thereby advancing the prime ministers Long term strategy of destroying Canadas so called natural governing party. I dont think Harper has to be thinking about a majority at All Flanagan said in an interview. Strategically this is sort of a prolonged War of attrition. As Flanagan sees it the first major Battle in this incremental War occurred in 2004, when Harper managed to reduce Paul Martins liberals to a minority. In the second clash in 2006, Harper won his own conservative minority. The third skirmish which Harper appears set to launch next week Likely wont kill what Flanagan jokingly refers to As the evil Empire. But if the tories can win a few More seats at the liberals expense an outcome Flanagan considers realistic Given harpers Superior Campaign skills and the tories fatter War Chest he predicted that would be enough to throw the grits into a Long term tailspin that could eventually Lead to their demise. You can fight a War with some objective less than total Victory he said of the coming Campaign. The Canadian press m Manitoba is top tory did nothing wednesday to quell speculation that a Federal election Call could be just a week away and rival politicians say they re ready to rumble.

Ism the candidate for Provencher and i intend to run whether it comes next week or october 2009, said Toews who invited the Media to holy Trinity anglican Church downtown to announce $ 25,000 in Federal Cash for a stained Glass restoration project. Its really up to the prime minister if there is going to be an election. Speculation intensified this week when Harper asked governor general Michalle Jean to cancel plans to attend the paralympics in China next week hinting he May ask her to trigger a snap election. Harper could also allow the House to resume As scheduled on sept. 15 and wait for a non Confidence vote although he has expressed contempt for the liberals for repeatedly threatening to topple his minority and then backing Down. Nip my Pat Martin says a fall Federal election is inevitable. Theress no turning Back now Martin said. I think the Jig is up. The conservatives have blitzed Martins inner City Riding with no fewer than three partisan flyers in the last month or so. But Martin could face unusually stiff Competition from Liberal Dan Hurley the right hand Man to University of Winnipeg president and former Liberal Cabinet minister Lloyd Axworthy.

Ca parties Brace for election Call nomination meetings Likely some Manitoba seats up for grabs a of tag sri n e j o a hons ready to rumble liberals the grits have about half their candidates nominated. They re missing ballot names in most of the Rural Ridings where they tend to fare poorly anyway. Conservatives they have candidates nominated in every Riding except two Elmwood Transcona and Winnipeg North. National party president Don Plett hinted that a High profile candidate might be firmed up in Elmwood in the coming Days. Nip it looks As if at least six candidates Are nominated according to the part yes website. There might be More but there was no one around at the part yes provincial office to ask yesterday.
