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.

I am detecting confusion in the ranks of Harper supporters - at least some of the Tory bloggers.

Many of these folks had bought into the right wing nonsense that global warming was simply political correct tree huggers trying to hurt business.

Harper's reversal is difficult for them to compute.

This is going to be interesting.
