@%&$ You Michael Ignatieff
Dear Would Be PM.
On behalf of millions of Canadians, let me say how insanely disappointed I am at you defending the Alberta oil sands. (Read more here: http://www.theglobeandmail
The oil sands are an environmental disaster. I don't care how many people it employs. That's a red herring argument and you know it.
Ultimately, we will pay a far greater price to clean up the mess it will cause to our planet than a few lost jobs. For every dollar we pull out of the sands we will probably pay 2, 3, or 4 more in the natural disasters it will result in globally. TAX PAYER DOLLARS.
I am sick of Liberals that are too weak to stand up to basic, meaningful principles. This is a no brainer. I would rather deal with a TEMPORARY employment problem in Alberta than a global climate crisis any day of the week. I would rather my taxes go up to pay for a complete reshift of the economy of Alberta to make them a green energy super power than have to pay to rebuild a town after a hurricane wrecks it.
And if we had begun investing in green technology a decade ago, those Albertans would be too busy setting up solar panels and wind farms to even care about tar sands. Not to mention if the politicians of Alberta had any common sense, they would have diversified their economy so that they would not be so reliant on the oil sector. Ontario -my home province- became too reliant on the auto sector and look at what that did to us.
If this choice is too difficult for you to make Iggy, maybe you should find another job. If you are afraid to stand up to the right, then go sell shoes.
Maybe you don't have the stones to lead a country in the 21st century. Or maybe that fancy education of yours isn't as fancy as you think it is.
If I wanted another Harper in office, I'd stick to the douche bag who has the job now. I was under the impression that you wanted to bring change to Ottawa, not more of the same failed politics and empty compromises that screw everyone at the end.
Fuck you Michael Ignatieff. Thanks for selling out the next generation.
