The Alberta Environment Minister, Shannon Phillips, spent Earth Day praising the important work of land trusts in protecting Alberta’s environment. That's nice. Land trusts do a lot of good work.
Let’s talk about how the people who live near Fiesta Lake, Millers Lake, Muir Lake, East Dollar Lake, Beaver Lake, Mitchell Lake, Ironside Pond and Jackfish Lake spent their Earth Day.
Those people are dealing with dead fish from a winter kill caused by bad lake aeration. Several more lakes across the province are dealing with extreme winter kill because late last year the NDP decided that they would change the method they use to aerate the lakes during Alberta’s long and gruesomely cold winters.
The government changed the method they used to aerate lakes because the old way left holes in the ice and they were concerned about liability issues. Municipalities put up signs to indicate thin or dangerous ice conditions all the time. Why isn't this something the big thinkers in government could have done on these lakes?
The new aeration method failed miserably and now businesses who rely on fishing and tourism on these Alberta lakes will lose thousands of dollars because the fish are gone and the lakes stink.
Remember, the NDP are environmentalists. They care about the earth. Sometimes it seems like that's all they can talk about; how they care about the earth and us conservatives don't. The NDP know what's best for mother nature and they'll stop global warming by taxing us to death.
But just don't let them babysit your goldfish.
DONALD ALLAN: Nicely done. I can still remember the UN liberal lawyer bitch Allison and her dumpling daughter in Palm Springs seeing who could jam the most meatballs in their mouth at one time. And if I am ever so lucky as to meet Danielle Smith head on when I am done both of her ears would be bleeding. She would get two ear fulls and have a lot of splainin to do.
The comments below are all priceless & I’m in agreement. Way to go Nutley, great environmental move, kill the fish that feed you. What else can you expect when the ministers went straight to cabinet after failing kindergarten.
The damage to Alberta is literally unfathomable , incalculable .
With the dancing prancing fool in Ottawa we are a world wide joke. We have a self contained toilet paper industry so we won’t be in quite as bad a situation as Venezuela. But we will be Third World class .
Dog Turds have a higher IQ than the likes of Notley.
BILL ELDER , i like that indept assessment
They probably thought it was like plunging the hole in the ozone, they could save the planet
I heard people are starting to call the town methbridge
They came into office with arrogance and bluster that they knew it all.
“This is the way a province is really supposed to be done!” was their attitude then in May 2015 and still is now in April 2016, but what have we seen as a result of the belief in their superior ways?
Everything they touch dies is the same way those fish died.
Alberta has the wort government that Canada has ever seen provincial or federal.
Alberta is screwed. Thank a lot Alberta NDP voters. Now look what you have done!
You can’t make this shit up – Notley at war with Alberta and chief idiot – more stupid that Bernie Trudeau.
Environmentalism is simply managing an environment for viable continuity. Conservation is the regulating and management of renewable natural resources. These two discaplines/ideologies involve managing a natural resource to ic can be harvested and replenished, by people. Preservation is saving a scarce resource by by removing public utilization. But, prohibition is the banning of any human interaction with a resource.
We all know if the Dips had their way, hunting, fishing, land development, logging and mining would be banned, along with private property – no ifs about it. So they are like fish out of water (forgive the pun) when it comes to actually scripting policies which enhance human interaction with the natural environment.
So he is on camera at the Lethbridge Regional hospital laying on the floor crying. There is your record of the ndp helping people.
Mr. Trudeau you had no business bringing in refugees that take up health care when you won’t even help Canadians. My husband fought for this country and YOU treat him like shit. How much money went into health care for all those refugees? How much more money are you going to waist on refugees before you help Canadians.
You and your sick government have no problem using the Military to fight your Oil War but you sure have a problem when it comes time to help those Veterans.
Let’s say in 2015 you made a dollar and in 2016 you made 50 cents then the NDP government is responsible so let them pay.
Yes I still agree with everything you said, but this news is three days old.
