Reprieve for Rona on the Environment

Everyone seems to believe that Rona got "kicked out" of her environmental cabinet position. Personally, I believe the environmental position in government is an extremely difficult position to be in. The environmental cause is full of activists and invested lobbyists and "experts" whose climate "models" cannot be questioned. I have heard through various news media that I don't have a brain, lack intelligence, etc etc for questioning these "models" and predictions of apocalypse.

The environment has become an emotional Canadian "value" regardless of common sense and inhibiting any debate. For that reason, I believe Rona is breathing a sigh of relief right now. It would be my guess that she was saddled with this position for a short term and was promised to be free of it at a certain point in time. Congratulations, Rona, for making it out alive!

Personally I think that the MSNM is making this the issue for the next election. There is no easy answer and Harper has been doing too well on too many fronts. Something has to become an issue that is a "damned if you do, and damned if you don't issue". As we get closer to a fed election also watch for "health care" to reappear on the radar screen.
