If rougher action is less appropriate, as in taking down the fence, walk around it. If higher authorities refuse to quickly enough and effectively shift taxation, their $ game needs to played that much less. The less you all look into alternative/complementary currency arrangements, the more you will be at needless loggerheads. Times would come where there would be significant conflict over the localized currency. But there would be far more opportunity for real democratic determination of next steps, and the extent of difficulties would be limited. Lesson 101 in “green” basics.

Come on already, think — then act — outside that box, make Greens relevant as only they can politically be, or risk increasing irrelevance.

It’s not a question of cutting back on other services. Government should simply stop funding perverse industries, like nuclear, and put the money into things like transit. Couple that with green tax shifting and we’re on the way to solving our problems.

When cost go up, prices go up if unit sales stay the same. That is basic Economics 101.

It seems that this blogger wants someone else to pay when the TTC’s costs go up, because the TTC provides a service they use. Self-interested perhaps, but understandable. No-one wants their subsidy to be cut or reduced.

The same discussion is going on in the GPC at the present time. Who should pay for the GPC expenses when the money runs out or when the GPC wants to spend more money than they have? The people benefiting the GPC? Or others? Or both?

Expect the cost of being a GPC supporter to go up, if the GPC want to maintain the same services.

The more Greens fail to put out creative stuff, the less and less relevant they become, just as the world could be getting ready to embrace them, alas.
