For the last few months, our Provencher MP, Ted Falk has been making much ado about the Liberal Carbon Tax plan. The most recent flyer he sent out to Provencher residents points out, again, the April 1 tax increase and how it will negatively affect people. Hyperbole Mr. Falk suggests that an extra $100 per […]

By David Dawson When this column started many years ago it was all about lifestyle, hence the title Rethinking Lifestyles. It was about gardening, recycling, composting, and preserving foods etc – mostly rural activities that were common previously but have been […]

Ted Falk, MP for Provencher, prepares a weekly blog for the media covering Provencher. In his most recent blog he outlines the “Conservative Plan” for the fall election. This blog is written in response to that Plan. The plan speaks to family values, immigration, trade, national defence and crime, implying clearly that the Conservatives can […]

It is with great disappointment that I note that your party has decided to oppose the Liberal Carbon tax by portraying it as a tax grab. The government is saying this tax will be revenue neutral – that is it will not be an increased tax [tax grab] but a tax shift. There is nothing […]

I haven’t responded to Ted Falk’s column in a while; the election call has led to more canned messages than ever appearing there. Even so, I went to www.tedfalk.ca today to see what he’s been up to, and was redirected to tedfalk.conservative.ca – his campaign page. The first thing that struck me about this page […]

In the past two weeks, Provencher MP Ted Falk has used his weekly newspaper column to talk about economic stability. In both columns, he points to the economic crisis in Greece as an example of unfettered spending leading to economic disaster, while pointing to the Conservative economic plan of cutting taxes as the recipe for […]

Ted Falk recently stood up in the House of Commons to speak about the ways that the Conservative Government are supporting families. It’s a noble goal, and one that every party strives for. But one of the reasons that I’m proud to be a Green Party member and candidate is because we tend to look […]

In a recent blog post, Provencher MP Ted Falk talks about all of the things that the Conservative Hunting and Angling Caucus have done to stand up for hunters and anglers. I find it more than a little puzzling. From his blog: This caucus helps to advance the issues surrounding conservation, habitat and enhancement of […]

Most of the political talk these days is about the late, 518-page federal budget, so it’s no surprise that Provencher MP Ted Falk used his column this week to extol its virtues. Those virtues are real, but they cover a multitude of failures and omissions. A budget is where a government really shows its priorities, […]

In his latest column, Provencher MP Ted Falk promotes a program in which able volunteers help people with “a modest income and a simple tax situation” file their tax returns. Volunteer initiatives are a wonderful thing, but let’s look at why this one is even necessary. Complicated Tax System We all need to file our taxes […]
