I don't want to get into soapbox mode but I wanted to share with you my feelings of disbelief over something I read today. I really had to shake my head over this one...

I don't like to think that the government is concerned only with how much money they can get out of something but today takes the cake. Here is what I read about one of our province's most important environmentalist/scientist:

In the legislature on Monday this week, the already-strong credentials of David Suzuki ratcheted a notch higher, when Liberal MLA Bill Belsey blasted the renowned environmentalist as someone who's "single-handedly done more to destry the economy of British Columbia than anybody else." Suzuki's crime? Questioning the environmental impact of fish farms, like epidemics of sea-lice in wild salmon.

(If you are interested in reading more about Mr. Suzuki's activities, please go to his website. )

It just goes to show you that politicians don't represent the people.... they represent whoever gives them the most stuff... It must be a prerequisite of being in public office that one lies, steals and cheats to get what they want.

Well, enough of that. Hope that you are having a great day!
