[Sust-mar] Carbon attacks: The Harper Conservatives and the Canadian resource economy - Part 3

[Christopher Majka]

Hi folks,

You may be interested in my recent article for Rabble.ca, the next  
installment of my Canadian Resource Economy series:

	Carbon attacks: The Harper Conservatives and the Canadian resource  
economy - Part 3

"There is no place where the nonsensical ideologically driven agenda  
of the Harper Conservatives runs more spectacularly aground on  
environmental and economic shoals than in the case of carbon pricing.

"While frequently wrong-headed, the policies of the Harper  
Conservatives are often sadly predictable: abject capitulation to the  
interests of the one per cent. In the case of carbon pricing, even  
many highly conservative business interests (at least those not in the  
thrall of the climate change denial movement) have grasped that it  
makes no sense to swim against this tide. The issue of carbon pricing  
exposes the assault on reason and death of evidence that have become  
the hallmarks of a regime out of touch with its citizenry - and of the  
planet." - Christopher Majka

Cheers!
