UN Bailout: Despots and Dictators

Canada is #1 see bottom of post.

Upset with your government's level of taxation or lack of accountability? Our Liberal media is supportive of a transferring billions on an annual basis to the United Nations for programs to help the most corrupt countries. Anyone shocked?

Anyone curious why the Liberal media has failed to raise the alarm from the lack of accountability or transparency in the transfer of billions to corrupt countries? The Canadian Federal Government would be well advised to not support this UN sponsored plan. Many Canadians need a break on income tax and fees from all levels of government.

By 2020 the United Nations hope to secure one hundred billion per year from developed countries through a variety of measures.

World leaders are set to visit the sunny beaches in Cancun, Mexico to discuss how they can get the middle class to fork over additional taxes from pricing carbon, cap and trade, airline and bank transactions.

The United States, meanwhile, insisted all week that it would not provide climate funds unless the big developing countries such as China allow their greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts to be monitored and verified.

The same issues were crucial factors in the Copenhagen failure last year.

The biggest investment of the Guyana REDD+ Investment Fund in 2010 and 2011 will see between US$40 million and US$60 million of payments being used as Government equity in a roughly US$750 million, private sector-led hydro power project.

With a smaller Democratic majority in the Senate how will President Obama be able to gain support from the Republican majority in Congress? Senator minority leader Jim  McConnell (Republican) and Majority leader Jim Boehner (Republican) have made cuts in spending and taxation a priority.  Where will the President find the money for the United Nations Green Shift?

The democratic messaging is now looking for cooperation in order to avoid gridlock.  The new make up in the Congress has returned Liberal democrats and fiscal conservatives in the Republican party.  The republican leadership has been consistent in their priorities on energy. Harry Reid was unable to pass Cap & Trade legislation with 59 Democratic Senators. They now have 52.

Republicans are interested in domestic energy: Nuclear,  reducing emissions of coal.  I don't think they will be interested in transferring money to Venezuela 2, China 3.5, Ethiopia 2.7.  to address global warming

Canada has been active on the Global stage promoting their fiscal record and principled foreign policy. Our biggest trading partner has not been doing as well during the global recession.

Canada has taken over from the United States as the most respected country brand in the world.
