Your graph is very revealing, and makes me wonder why Gordon Campbell got a "green" award in Copenhagen. Accepting the logic of these two conflicted realities surely creates severe cognitive dissonance in any rational mind.

The spin is definately in. We have to recognize that "the establishment" is not willing to change. Its got us by the short and curlies. We will have to come up with some creative, new ways to shift them.

Why are we subsidizing oil and gas companies with taxpayer money?!Don't these companies make billions of dollars in profit every year and even through one of the worst recessions we've had?

The banks large corporations, gas and oil company's, have the big bucks to pay the political party, that favors them the most. All the large outfits, also get huge tax deductions. This was also passed in the federal parliament, to give untold millions of our tax dollars, to those same wealthy corporations. This is what happens, when corruption was allowed in government. The corruption, then filtered into every government agency and service. The CRA, right now has a class action against them, for corruption and other very ugly acts they have committed against the citizens of this country. It is the little guy, who has the burden of supporting the government. If all the little guys, deferred their taxes until the following year, this country would fall flat on it's ass. What has happened, Campbell has caused too many little guys, to lose their jobs. Tax revenues are down, so the BC Liberal government went on a taxing frenzy. So communities are going underground and will be using the barter system. Every community should be able to feed everyone in a 100 mile radius. This budget and the HST, is going to cause thousands of people to become homeless, they are going to need food. This community will feed them.

Gordon Campbell blamed climate change for the warm weather in Vancouver during the Olympics and said his government was going to lead the way for a green corridor and invest in green energy projects. But the budget doesn't reflect that. The Live Smart project and environmental projects get one dollar to the ten dollars that go the the oil and gas industry. I want to see budgets that reflect a real desire to address climate change, not just small talk with no substance behind it.

3D BAR GRAPHS! WHY? Well atleast it isn't a 3d pie chart, or any kind of pie chart for that matter.
