The decision to cancel cap…

The decision to cancel cap and trade is not only surprising in its lack of foresight but also extremely alarming.

The role of government is to represent and protect the interests of the people - all of the people. Ignoring the ramifications of climate change and putting the self-serving interests of profit minded businesses ahead of environmental conservation represents a gross misuse of power and a betrayal of public trust.

For the first time in my life I am embarrassed to be a citizen of this province. Please see reason and look beyond short-term economic gains. You claim to be the party of the people - it's time to start acting like it.
