   Let's put it this way:  whatever the Liberals put into action to help the   
   environment, the   
   Harperites were quick to dismantle.  YOU tell us which government did more for   
   Canada's   
   environment.

   Harper flip flops on energy efficiency.   
      
   Effective March 31, the federal government pulled out of providing grants to   
   new   
   applicants to the popular and proven effective ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes   
   energy   
   efficiency homeowner grant program, without warning or consultation. ecoENERGY   
   grants will   
   not be provided to homeowners who are not currently registered within the   
   program.   
   __________________________   
      
   Immediately upon taking office, Mr. Harper scrapped or froze all federal   
   programs   
   and initiatives under Canada's existing climate change plan. Mr. Harper   
   cancelled   
   successful programs like Energuide, halted initiatives to increase renewable   
   energy   
   such as wind power, and effectively killed a national plan to regulate large   
   final   
   emitters   
   and work to establish a carbon trading market in Canada.
