Canada Now Has A Minister Of Climate Change
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Why would we want to do that? If there is something I want to use and can afford to use it I will.
I'm still trying to figure out how being shot in a drive by would qualify one to be the Minister of Veteran's Affairs. Being a victim of a violent crime doesn't qualify one to oversee the issues faced by those we train to kill and then send into harm's way...
We will reduce consumption by reducing wages and retail earnings and weapons procurments jobs and strict adherance to the TPP agreements with our new partners. I wouldn't worry about reaching our consumption targets, it can be done.
Why not turn the planet arround, it's closer, if we all moved to the other side it would flip over.
Sounds like a global village.
My goodness the salt..
“You’re really attacking the energy industry,” Murray Mullen, of oilfield services company Mullen Group, told the Globe and Mail. “That’s what climate change is all about.… It is all about attacking carbon.”
Oil execs' concerns likely won't be assuaged by the news that McKenna has hired Marlo Raynolds as her chief of staff. Raynolds, who ran unsuccessfully as a Liberal candidate in Alberta in last month's election, is a former executive director of the Pembina Institute, a think tank that advocates the elimination of fossil fuels.

What does fossile fuels have to do with oil? I wish the new minister of Human Climate nothing but headaches.

Linking to "think tanks" is crap. Tell us sport, how do you power industry, the economy and everything else with intermittent green energy? Never mind the fact that we have this thing called "winter" here in Canada.
Yep, gonna be some fun days in mid January when certain regions end up with cloud cover for days at a time and little in the way of wind or far too much wind to power any turbines. That's the fun part about wind and solar. No wind or sun for a while and you're f*cking pooched. I realize you probably don't care about that since the 3 NPPS and the various hydro-electric dams in Ontario provide a steady flow of base load generation that will keep you warm and toasty at night. You DO understand the importance of having base load generation, right? Or does your pinheaded ideology suggest we don't actually need it?
Then again, with all the hot air spewing from Queen's Park and Parliament Hill, we could just frack the federal and Ontario Liberal parties for a great anthro-thermic power source.
