Ignatieff is a Turd
I was reading the paper this morning (The National Post... in case you were wondering if I was a glutton for punishment), and I couldn't help but see that my local MP and all-around fuckhead Michael Ignatieff has been shooting off his dumb mouth again.
Doesn't anyone fact check for these windbags anymore? Or is this douchebag too full of himself to require one?
His point is that there should be a tax "on gasoline with high carbon content", in other words, gas without Ethanol in it. I hate to break the news to ol' Mikey, but ALL REGULAR UNLEADED GAS is going to have Ethanol in it. Trust me. I'm the one putting the tanks back into service in Toronto. My company is doing it all across the country.
Yes, I accept that the higher octane gas isn't going to have Ethanol in it, but that stuff burns cleaner, anyway (or at least I think it does....?), and it's way more expensive anyway. Thus, generally people only buy it becuase their cars require it, not because they're just trying to be dickheads or anything... it's not like they're avoiding carbon emission-reducing Ethanol... the gas companies just aren't implementing Ethanol blending for higher grade gasoline.
You hear me Mike, you shithead? You are honestly going to be punishing people because multi-billion dollar corporations can't possibly be expected to change all grades of gas to Ethanol blending within the (already somewhat unreasonable) time frame allowed.
I'm glad I didn't vote for you. You turd.

[far left swine]You're forgetting - everyone who needs higher octane gas can afford to pay extra for it. I mean it's not like rich people worked hard for their money or anything - most of them got it by inheritance or fluke, right?? No it is the state's duty to take as much money as they can from the rich so that way equality exists.[/far left swine]
Ugghh, if they want to impose cleaner burning fuels on us than why not use the one weapon that he has before him - legislation. I mean if all the various states south of the border can dictate how much ethanol has to be in the gas sold there I'm sure our incompetent leaders could too. This is just another example of an government type who thinks that we only make money to give to them.
Actually, this kind of reminds of something that Jack! Layton would propose - more taxes more government, spend, spend, spend...

They did legislate the use of Ethanol, but it's in terms total gas sold, and so it's something like 10% Ethanol in RUL will be equal to 5 or 7% Ethanol in "all gasoline".
Believe it or not, the Liberal party once thought Mikey was too RIGHT WING!!!!
I'm not even sure that he's informed enough to realize that this stance would apply only to higher grade fuel.... from reading the article, I tend to think he doesn't know that.
So he's just an uninformed turd.
