“In light of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the reluctance of the companies involved to accept responsibility, what new control measures for oil drillers will the Canadian government put in place to reduce the risk of oil spills in Canadian waters, and ensure the continuance of our marine ecosystems and the sustainability of our fisheries?”
What a great question. Notice how it ties the environment to the economy?
As reported by Jane Taber, this question was submitted by Raimey Gallant, a student from Winnipeg’s Red River College.
Harper's stage managers nixed the question. As we all now know, PM Office denials aside, this entire matter was heavily stage managed.
What does Harper have to say about concerns which do not fit his very narrow definition of economics?
"Anything beyond the economy, including issues frequently covered by the national media, is a “sideshow,” the Prime Minster said."
To have our environment described as a sideshow by this circus act of a government speaks volumes about it's pettiness and lack of concern for my children's future.
