Meanwhile in Canada the political confusion continues. Canada has 10 provinces. The federal Liberal government has been forced to change alliances in order to keep it's minority government in power. The socialist NDP that had been backing them refuses to go along with the Liberals insistence in giving a carbon tax reprieve only to the 3 small Atlantic provinces that hold the key to their hold on power in the election next year. Instead, the Liberals now have the backing of the Parti Québécois which only exists in the province of Quebec and is intent on breaking the country apart, with Quebec becoming it's own country. The turmoil is pitting some other provinces against the Federal government and there is infighting within the governments of other provinces. The province of British Columbia administers it's own separate carbon tax and is pondering scrapping it entirely, with some saying it accomplishes nothing while some insist it is vital. Those in favor of it blame the heat wave, drought, and intense wildfires of this summer on global warming even though the government's scientists have proven that to be untrue. The heat and drought being a normal cycle and the severity of the out of control wild fires caused by poor forest management.
