wow
Rachel Notley’s NDP government in Alberta has launched a new online survey, asking Albertans the best way to fix global warming. Seriously.
Alberta is in a recession. It has a record deficit. Unemployment is rising. 75% of its drilling rigs are idle.
But this survey is the NDP's big project for the rest of the year.
So I went online and took this survey, to see what it’s like.
I was born in Alberta but I’m in Toronto now. That didn't matter: I just clicked onto the survey and took it anyway. You could take the survey from anywhere in the world — and affect Alberta energy and climate change policy, long distance!
For this and all the other reasons I explain in my report, this survey is clearly junk science.
But the NDP says they’re going to use the results "for statistical purposes related to this [global warming] initiative."
The "initiative" is part of their new Climate Leadership Advisory Panel.
On an upcoming show, I’ll document how extremely biased most of the members on this panel are.
But at least the leader of this panel is a competent, fair-minded man.
His name is Dr. Andrew Leach. He’s a professor of economics and energy at the University of Alberta. I’ve interviewed him on my show before, back at Sun News.
I don’t always agree with him, but he’s a real academic, with real rigour. And I simply don’t believe that this fake survey and the Andrew Leach I know are reconcilable.
This survey is a disgrace. The old Professor Leach I knew would say so. And I hope he will still say so.
