Inadequate People

More shifts have been happening in Canada's Parliment, we have a new Environment Minister, say hello to John Baird.

Lets all give a big round of applause to Mr. Harper on getting rid of Rona Ambrose, the previous Minister of Environment, and replacing her with another useless minister. Okay, maybe I'm not giving a guy with NO background in Environmental Studies a chance, he has Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and that should be enough, right? WRONG! Not going to lie - I could do a better job.

I'm getting so frustrated with stupid political crap that is stopping our country from being successful. How is it that someone without an educated background on a subject become the decision maker? I hate how the Minister of Environment is a position just brushed off, handed to anyone with a B.A. Do people not realize that this is the only Earth we have? Does that not make the Minister of Environment the most important role? So why is it a position that is not taken as seriously as Minister of Finance? There's tons of money out there but there's only one atmosphere.

I have very little faith in the Conservative government do make any vital changes which need to take place to reduce our impact on the earth. Why would I say that? Well, maybe because our Prime Minister is from Alberta, and supports the development of oil, has made no effort on forcing industry to reduce it's polution levels, and he puts inadequate people in important positions. Perhaps it also has something to do with backing out of our Kyoto agreement for a useless Made in Canada plan, or maybe it has to do with cutting funding for the One Ton Challange.

Maybe I'm over reacting, maybe John Baird will rescue Canada, save our world and be my hero. Or maybe not.

PS. Not all people in Alberta are bad, just ones who don't see the bigger picture.

But do any of the ministers have backgrounds in what they're in charge of? It always seemed a little random to me.
