Brutal records on environment

It's oil rich Alberta, we all get that, but I still shake my head when it comes to the lack of policy and action on the environment.


Too bad the Evergreens won't win a seat and no more than 5% of popular vote. We could use a voice from the opposite end of the spectrum if only to challenge positions that opt for industry over environment and long term sustainability.

WRP has no policy. Well they do, but it's weak. You also have to shake your head at any political party that completely rejects any notion of global warming. I get the conspiracy theorists are out there, but the scientific community is pretty tight on this one.

All in all, enviro will lose, again. Which sucks. But at least we'll get revenue share cheques in the mail that we can blow on beer and steaks.
