Canada is Land of Opportunity for Unemployed Americans

Another four years of an Obama administration is not good news for the American worker, or the energy industry.  The year 2013, promises to be the year of the Environmental Protection Agency and there is nothing to stop them from their radical agenda.  This agency is so radical that the administrator uses secret email accounts to hide her intentions from the general public, which is against the law.

A House committee has launched an investigation into whether EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson used an email alias to try to hide correspondence from open-government requests and her agency’s own internal watchdog — something that Republican lawmakers said could run afoul of the law.

The science committee has asked Ms. Jackson to turn over all information related to an email account under the name of “Richard Windsor,” which is one of the aliases identified by a researcher looking into the EPA.

The committee has also asked the White House’s lawyer and EPA’s inspector general to look into the matter and report back by the end of this month, saying that the secret email accounts could have been used to keep key information from official watchdogs as well as the public.

EPA did not respond Friday night to a request for comment.

But there is hope for those who are out of work.  Canadian energy companies are prospering and need manpower.  And when one industry is booming, that has a ripple effect on everyone else, and that is something Americans won’t see in an Obama economy.    

U.S. workers, Canada wants you.

Here in the western province of Alberta, energy companies are racing to tap the region's vast deposits of oil sands. Canada is looking to double production by the end of the decade. To do so it will have to lure more workers — tens of thousands of them — to this cold and sparsely populated place. The weak U.S. recovery is giving them a big assist.

Canadian employers are swarming U.S. job fairs, advertising on radio and YouTube and using headhunters to lure out-of-work Americans north. California, with its 10.2% unemployment rate, has become a prime target. Canadian recruiters are headed to a job fair in the Coachella Valley next month to woo construction workers idled by the housing meltdown.

Do you want food stamps or a paycheck?  The Great White North is giving the unemployed American a dignified alternative.  All I have to say is thank God Canada has a border; otherwise the EPA would squash their prosperity as well.

EPA Chief Thinks Americans Are Too Stupid to Comprehend Her Genius

Lisa Jackson of the EPA thinks we’re too stupid to comprehend the English language. Our environmental overlord believes she needs a translator proficient in idiocy in order to communicate with the American people.

When asked to craft a headline about her tenure at the EPA, chief administrator Lisa Jackson questioned the American public’s ability to read at a fifth-grade level in an interview with the Guardian:

“In accordance with the law, we moved forward with sensible, cost effective steps at the federal level on climate, using the Clean Air Act.” And I would have a second sentence — see, I can’t write headlines! But it would be something like, ”The progress at state and local levels, combined with the federal level, does not obviate the need” — you can’t use obviate, it’s above fifth-grade level! — “does not obviate the need for federal legislation to address this incredibly important challenge for this and future generations.”

How is that government of the people, by the people, and for the people working out?

The EPA's "Sustainability" Power Grab

The Environmental Protection Agency is in the midst of a coup. They have designs on our liberties and economic prosperity. I say that, because this agency commissioned and published a study entitled, “Sustainability and the U.S. EPA.” at a cost of $700,000 paid for by the taxpayers. This so-called study is nothing more than a power grab. Fox News reports:

According to the Academies, the sustainability study “both incorporates and goes beyond an approach based on assessing and managing the risks posed by pollutants that has largely shaped environmental policy since the 1980s.”

It is already known in EPA circles as the “Green Book,” and is frequently compared by insiders to the “Red Book,” a study on using risk management techniques to guide evaluation of carcinogenic chemicals that the agency touts as the basis of its overall approach to environmental issues for the past 30 years.

At the time that the “Green Book” study was commissioned, in August, 2010, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson termed it “the next phase of environmental protection,” and asserted that it will be “fundamental to the future of the EPA.”

Jackson compared the new approach, it would articulate to “the difference between treating disease and pursuing wellness.” It was, she said, “a new opportunity to show how environmentally protective and sustainable we can be,” and would affect “every aspect” of EPA’s work.

According to the study itself, the adoption of the new “sustainability framework” will make the EPA more “anticipatory” in its approach to environmental issues, broaden its focus to include both social and economic as well as environmental “pillars,” and “strengthen EPA as an organization and a leader in the nation’s progress toward a sustainable future.”

You ask how the Obama apparatchiks plan on implementing these policies. Earlier this year, administrator Lisa P. Jackson requested a whopping 230,000 new EPA bureaucrats to rule over us all. Americans for Prosperity reported:

In a court filing last week, EPA quantified the vast new army of federal bureaucrats it will need to process millions of new permits under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V permitting process. A shocking 230,000 new EPA bureaucrats at a cost of $21 billion -- more than tripling the EPA's total budget. In the filing EPA says it will reach these levels by April 30, 2016.

Based on the historical relationship between the number of federal regulators and private sector employment recently quantified by the Phoenix Center the addition of 230,000 federal bureaucrats would destroy 22.5 million private sector jobs.

The EPA is in league with the United Nations. The sustainability development project is the central topic in their next global summit meeting being held in Rio de Janeiro next June. Let’s hope that’s as far as their Marxist ambitions go.

EPA Attacks the Second Amendment

The Environmental Protection Agency is circumventing the Constitution in a back door attempt to deny Americans their second amendment rights.

This unelected bunch of bureaucrats is plotting to outlaw lead, in a frontal attack on denying law abiding citizens ammunition to protect themselves; family and property; and ultimately from a dictatorial government who’s demonstrating daily, the incomprehension on the limitations of their power.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation reported the following:

With the fall hunting season fast approaching, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Lisa Jackson, who was responsible for banning bear hunting in New Jersey, is now considering a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) – a leading anti-hunting organization – to ban all traditional ammunition under the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, a law in which Congress expressly exempted ammunition. If the EPA approves the petition, the result will be a total ban on all ammunition containing lead-core components, including hunting and target-shooting rounds. The EPA must decide to accept or reject this petition by November 1, 2010, the day before the midterm elections.

I am reminded of the British regulars who marched on Concord, Massachusetts to destroy Patriot ammunition and arms stores. This is similar in design and theory.

Lisa Jackson is a power hungry bitch, who will impose her will – and ultimately Barack Obama’s – upon the American people. This is the same woman who demanded that Congress pass legislation on Cap and Trade or SHE WOULD BE FORCED TO DO IT HERSELF, with or without the consent of the people; as reported by the New York Post:

Who needs Congress to help govern America? Not the Obama administration, it seems.


At the UN Climate Control conference in Copenhagen yesterday, Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson said that she wants to work with Congress to contain carbon emissions that her agency claims are "dangerous."


"This is not an either/or moment. This is a both/and moment," Jackson said.
Consider that the velvet glove covering the administration's extremist fist -- which had itself been revealed a day earlier in Washington.


An Obama staffer -- speaking anonymously, of course -- told Fox News: "If [Congress doesn't] pass [emissions-control] legislation . . . the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area. And it is not going to be able to regulate in a market-based way, so it's going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way."

If there was ever an argument to get rid of this usurping agency, let it be the second amendment.
