When facts get in the way of ideology, get rid of the facts

I truly fear for my grandchildren. Seeing a choice between the "Canadian" economy and the environment is based on a false premise that should be immediately obvious to anyone who stops to think. Can you have a sustainable, global economy without an adequate and sustained environment globally?

This is another excellent example of "when facts get in the way of ideology, get rid of the facts." It goes right along with muzzling or axing government employed scientists whose research results do not support the ideology flavour of the day.

Read the following links and be very afraid for the next generations. I challenge you to ask yourself, what is the legacy that we are going to leave our grandchildren? Will it be red or green?
