Please Stop Wasting $235 Million in Canadian Tax Money!

[Regina]

The Canadian Government is planning to waste at least $235 million for a project, The Thirty Meter Telescope, which won't even be built on Canadian soil.  The Thirty Meter Telescope most likely will employ few Canadians.  To make matters worse, the telescope will be built in Hawaii, USA on land which is both environmentally and religiously sensitive to the indigenous Hawaiians.  I hope everybody will protest against the waste of tax money and human rights abuses.  Please sign the petition to stop the injustice happening within the USA at the expense of Canadian taxpayers.  I am posting a link to an online petition against the Thirty Meter Telescope and waste of taxpayer money: https://www.change.org/p/justin-trudeau-a-call-to-divest-canada-s-research-funding-for-the-thirty-meter-telescope-on-mauna-kea

Please tell your friends to sign the petition too.  Thank you for your time.

Is there somewhere else on Mauna Kea they could build it? It's a pretty big mountain.

What's this about Canadian Tire money?

I agree with Canada on that one. No private entity will invest that much into this kind of research. Findings could benefit Canada and mankind as a whole.

I would be happy to see that money spent on such a project:  once we have a balanced budget and no deficit.   Before we start trying to save the world, we need to save ourselves and our grandchildren.
