The absurd propaganda that comes out of Canada’s current federal government is just the latest in an all out attack on environmental protection. At a time when they are increasing their freighter traffic, including oil and gas shipments, the notion that cutting back on coast guard protection that can lead to a situation that could lead to a major spill being a good idea, is just so much purposeful deception. These people will stop at nothing, it seems, to make Canada safe for environmental destruction by oil, gas and timber industries. The fact that a very low percentage of Canada’s youth (under 30) voted in the last election means that the opposition better get working to get them to get out and vote these rascals out. It took decades to build these protections into law, and will decades to re-establish them. In the meantime, we all, on both sides of the border, are at risk.
