Conservative Envrionmental Policy

After cutting 90% of the government's programs related to studying and dealing with Climate Change issues last year, our oh-so-green Conservative government demonstrated that the blue colour of their logo comes from oxygen deprivation to the brain.

Today, We find Harper announcing the resurrection of funding for environmental programs - or at least for "alternative power" sources.

Having removed any programs that actually study anything, one wonders how taxpayers can have any confidence that this $1.3 billion in funding is actually buying us anything.

Harper's reversal is difficult for them to compute.

This is going to be interesting.
