An Environmental Disaster That Couldn't Happen

[alexmac]

In point of fact the VAST majority of support from "rich folks" over the years has been directed at the Liberal Party of Canada.

I might add that the ability of 'rich folks' to influence politicians with 'big cash' has been a thing of the past for quite some time now.

You might try reading on who donates to which parties then come back and edit what you wrote.

Also try reading on enviromental regulations and crown land , I believe you might be surprised .

Then there is also good reading in past cleanups from mine companies who went bankrupt and left us CANADIAN TAXPAYERS with the bill

that is not very provincial at all.

One of the reasons the Tories have been so eager to lower the donation limit is that for many years the vast majority of donations to their party have come in small amounts from a large base of supporters. The Liberals, by contrast, have been in financial difficulties the last some years because for many ,many years, the vast majority of their donations came in large sums from a limited donor base. Or have you forgotten all those $25,000 a plate dinners which used to fill the Liberals' campaign chests.

The provincial governments can institute whatever environmental regulations and penalties they wish. If, as you say, this has come up before, then perhaps they ought to look at requiring companies post an environmental bond or have adequate insurance. They should also look at much more stringent inspections.

Think you better read the regs again because the Feds have the final say and control for all of Canada which was gutted by the MORON PC's , but that is not to say that the liberals were not at fault....If everyone reads and not draw party lines I am sure you will find we as the common folk only have a government friend every 4 years then we get pee'd on until the next time they come to us . Seems that most who vote like to be bent over the kitchen table and actually defend the right to be screwed.

"You can't trust government" what a shocker that is. This is a sad day for all Canadains and a wakeup call for those who believe corps. have our interest at heart . So who is to blame.....Harper...BC Liberals ? The answer is all of the above along with the people who voted for these lying forms of humans.

They all have stood in front of us all and lied again and again and again . The Harper government has gutted enviromental regs in the guise of streamlining for the "greater good of us all" The liberals here have followed suit and further gutted the regulatory system all under the words of saving us money and creating jobs. Then there are the idiots who can't read and believe everything they are told by these so called Canadians.

So there is plenty of blame to go around but the really sad part is that we the taxpayer will pay for this mess which will cost over a billion to cleanup and even then we have lost forever a part of our country. I flew here to Williams Lake yesterday and we toured the site shortly after we arrived. I know quite a few of the miners who work there and in early July they lost containment of the tailings , both feds and provincial were informed and here we are today looking at liars and a disaster which is horribly shameful for Canada especially with all the lies about how good we are to the rest of the world.

Now here is what will happen , the morons who represent us will show fire and passion about this for 2 months then it will slowly die down , the company will either sell there other property and go out of business or claim bankruptcy leaving us with the bill and the CEO and Board of Directors go home with all the cash....this has happened before just not on this scale. Remember there is an election coming so tough words with no action is coming .

So to recap we kill the lake and river , say lots of wonderful words , do nothing and at election time tell everyone how tough they were and how much they love OUR country and all without doing a thing or costing them personally any cash.

We should all be ashamed this is not what Canada is supposed to stand for but yet...here we are.

LOL This is Canada and has been since it was started .

If you have thoughts on what I said please put it out there . What we are talking about is serious and one liners just do not quite cut it in a debate.

Now, that's an intelligent response.

Were you expecting better?

Not really. But I am an optimist so you never know!

Why would you refer to a new member as 'your ilk'. You don't even know this person and there are not a lot of posts to judge him.
