Brian Lilley has an interesting opinion of Jack Layton. The following can attest to that:
Jack Layton is a climate change denier.
Sure the NDP leader has spoken out in favour of Kyoto and demanded action on climate change at Copenhagen. Layton may have had his party produce private members bills trying to force the government to take action on greenhouse gases but in his heart of hearts Jack Layton wants your carbon footprint to go up and up.
You may now tilt your head slightly to the right and say, "huh?"
Lilley points to Layton's recent call to kill the heating tax arguing that such a move will cause carbon emissions to go up. He's right, that will likely happen if the tax is killed.
1) Jack Layton is not a climate change denier, nor am I -obviously-2) Killing the tax is a good idea. People should not have to struggle to stay warm for the sake of the planet.
The argument being put forth by Lilley is a fallacy. Accepting climate change does not mean agreeing to the method for dealing with the issue.
I have no idea what side Lilley stands on. It seems to be one of delusion.
