R2000 homes

We've all heard about R2000 homes, some of you even own or live in one. They are energy efficient designed homes intended to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels lowering heating bills while reducing  the carbon footprint of the home.

What I'll bet you didn't know is that the concept and design of the R2000 home initiative was a collaboration of Canada's home builders lead by Alberta builders and CMHC.

Yes folks for decades Albertan's were concerned about their carbon footprint and the high cost of heating homes. Then came the Harper regime and their twisted views on energy and Alberta's need to be a one trick pony. They filled the heads of Albertan's with propaganda conceived in the boardrooms of oil magnates.

You have to go back to the '80's, a time before the Reform party and Preston Manning, to a time before the Alliance party and Stephen Harper to find those in Western Canada who took the lead in reducing fossil fuel consumption.

Today we see Albertan's once again leading the way in passive systems to reduce fossil fuel consumption.... until the rise of the UCP a subsidiary of the oil industry and purveyor of falsehoods to the people. Alberta is, once again, a one trck pony as Kenney cancels incentive programs claiming, falsely, that they are too costly.

Today's Conservative Parties, from the federal CPC to the PC and UCP, are nothing more than offshoots of the GOP in the US, why do you think that every time they need or want to disrupt politics in Canada we hear how their leader or a shadow minister has run to America and either speaks to GOP representatives or goes on FOX News.... they're selling out Canadians for their own personal gain.
