Canada – Smart Grid
Canada – Water Treatment• Canada is world leader in membrane solutions, but no comment from
either NDP or LPC, why?
Energy Storage

Climate Change• It is pretty sad that we have so many people believing the pro-climate people than others sources, why? How of those same people
do not know how Tides? http://www.tides.org/. Tide.org is pushing funding up to stop the oil sands, why? http://habledash.com/political-insight/254-the-tides-foundation-the-heart-of-the-radical-left. It appears me this organization has done some backing for Obama?
• Yet there are no comments from people to why the Greenpeace director spoke out about radical views of Greenpeace, why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA6WZ4SX_-0
• Yet we have people like Butts that will start at nothing to have no carbon in Canada: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrdSCKDR5-Y. JT does support keystone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViTIdnDJPj0
• So, where do the LPC stand on oil shipments? It appears to me that LPC only interested in pipelines that do not touch LPC held areas!! • Here is what leading scientist said about UN and Climate Change:

Climate Change • The Weather Channel -
http://viral.buzz/video-there-is-no-global-warming-says-founder-and-former-ceo-of-the-weather-channel/ • It seems to me that Canada emissions are not the issue as compare to elsewhere in the World:
http://business.financialpost.com/2014/11/27/new-emissions-from-canadas-oil-sands-extremely-low-says-ieas-chief-economist/?__lsa=7cb9-37c0
• http://www.wri.org/blog/2014/11/6-graphs-explain-world%E2%80%99s-top-10-emitters. How would a carbon tax help reduced emissions in Canada or make an impact on countries like India/China/USA? It seems to me that your party does not live in reality to big issues facing Canada, especially the economy and/or how big emitters have done little to curb greenhouse gases. So, is your party going to look at a carbon tax on items coming from China, India and USA?
• Here is the BC results of their Carbon Tax• http://blogs.theprovince.com/2014/12/04/kenneth-green-carbon-taxes-take-big-bite-out-of-your-wallet/• Provincial and Consumers Impact:

How do companies grow?• Access to capital/seed financing (http://www.canadabusiness.ca/eng/page/2848/)• Partnering with university (https://mcmasterinnovationpark.ca/)• Taxation policies (EI and Corporation Tax cuts -

Green Energy Mistakes• Pushing Green at all costs
• FIT/Ontario - http://www.blazingcatfur.ca/2015/04/30/trudeau-advisor-gerald-butts-green-energy-policies-cost-ontario-300000-jobs-admits-liberal-think-tank/ - Both the NDP and LPC seem to be pushing projects without understanding costs or how best to move projects forward as part of diversifying the economy
• Leverage existing programs and/or expanding programs• SDTC is very good, but needs to be expanded including more moneys to help with
technology• Breaking down internal trade barriers to allow free flow on technology/resources
(AB program is benefitting Canada - http://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/financing/ccemc-annual-report-213m-in-funds-supports-1-56b-in-value-128173/, but more needs to be done to be done as part of expanding business opportunities
Exports
Exports• Clean Tech exports approximate $6B• CAGR 11%• Each $1B of export sales generates 5,500 jobs
