Canada Free Press Reacts to Environmental Socialism

I came across the article earlier that decries the actions of Canadian government officials who have taken the liberty of making decisions for people who were too incompetent to make them for themselves, such as the decision not to use cheap incandescent light bulbs or not to get cheap electricity from clean coal-fire technologies.

I’ve included the quote below because it underlines the fact that these sacrifices are monumental considering the fact that they are being taken in a futile effort to achieve an unachievable goal.

By now everyone is familiar with government plans to restrict convenient and inexpensive technologies such as incandescent light bulbs to ‘combat the climate crisis’. We can add a new one to list courtesy of Ontario’s Minister of the Environment Laurel Broten - used oil heating is gong to be banned. And like everyone else in politics these days, she substantiated her decision with the same sort of climate change rhetoric we hear regularly from federal Environment Minister John Baird concerning the light bulb ban.

When announcing her used oil heating ban, Broten warned consumer and business, "We also know that taking on global warming will require a massive adjustment in the way we live and how we do business." Now that’s an understatement - dedicating vast sums of taxpayer money on any impossible objective in total ignorance of the facts would require massive "adjustments in the way we live and how we do business."
