No Sense, No Plan, No Majority Gov’t Next Time
This story is depressing. The new government is cutting 40% of funding for information and research into climate change. And I can’t believe this passes as spin:
“If it’s not in the taxpayers’ interest to fund programs that are not effective, then we are not going to,” said Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn.
Apparently the rationale is that they’re going to come up with their own plan. Well, if that’s the case, why cut so fast? why not wait for a new plan before you discard the old plan?
If only they could think beyond the next election, then people 40 years from now won’t be walking around with breathing masks and oxygen cursing them.
This government is a disaster and I hope people are realizing that now.
