A Canadian, Johanne Gelinas, who is, as I understand it, “commissioner of the environment and sustainable development division” of the Liberal Party bureaucracy secretariat (and wiener stand!), is being credited (by me) with making a huge step forward in ending “global warming”.
Apparently the chief source of greenhouses gasses leaking into the atmosphere has been discovered, and it is, as all conservatives already knew, liberal-left governments and their hordes of bureaucrats blowing smoke and bloviating endlessly about Kyoto and greenhouse gasses and industrial pollution ruining our lives and global warming and Bush.
Apparently these noxious gas bags are contributing to the problem and spending all our money doing it, simply for P.R. and vote-buying purposes, rather than actually making any sense at all whatsoever, nor being even half honorable and trustworthy.
There’s so much I can add to this it’s best I just stop now. Well let me just add: vote liberal!
Feds flunk environmental report
OTTAWA (CP) – The federal environment watchdog says the government produces a lot of talk, but not much action on environmental issues.
Johanne Gelinas, commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, said the government tends to make loud announcements which are forgotten “as soon as the confetti hits the ground.”
In a report released Thursday, Gelinas chides Ottawa for doing a poor job protecting the oceans, promoting biodiversity and ensuring safe drinking water on native reserves.
It also says the government has no policy for buying green, environmentally sound products, nor has it pushed departments to co-ordinate policies on sustainable development.
Gelinas, who oversees environmental issues for the auditor general, said the government makes bold promises, but doesn’t provide the resources or structures to follow through.
“The federal government is chronically unable to sustain initiatives, once they are launched.”
Bureaucratic infighting and turf wars hamper efforts to co-ordinate programs that cross department boundaries, she said, and senior bureaucrats aren’t held accountable for following through on programs.
“In many areas, the federal government keeps reinventing the wheel by changing key staff and changing the design of programs, without regard for achieving results.”
Highlights from the report of the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development:
-The federal government makes big environmental announcements, but they are soon forgotten.
[…]
-The government urges Canadians to buy green, but has no green purchasing policy of its own.
