First of all, Harper et. al. are hardly ignoring the environment, or science. They just don't happen to agree with you, and are unwilling to let climate-change cultists and environmental political activists with a luddite agenda destroy our economy.
The false analogy of activists as luddites always amuses me. The luddites protested against new technological advances, because their jobs depended on the older less advanced technology. By far, the majority of activists in the climate debate from the perspective that we need to change our policies are doing what? Promoting
new technology. Which has been around longer, coal-fired electricity, or solar panels? Windmills are old, but the ones they are building now for electricity aren't the same technology at all.
The proponents that say we should stick with the older technology? Not climate change policy wonks, that's for sure.
:lol:
Back on the topic of Mulcair and the NDP, I'm siding with captain morgan. An election is a long way off in the distance yet. I'm sure the NDP feel energized by this change, as they should. But it's a looooong ways off yet before the polls that matter.
I wonder how much will change in the next three years. What will the Conservatives pass? What goodies will they deliver before the election? What controversies might unfold? Will some contemporary controversies grow into something bigger?
Three years is a lot of time.
