Ottawa wades into health debate over Ontario's wind energy

This is just so rich.

"The Harper government, an ardent defender of oil sands extraction, is taking a keen new interest in Ontario voters’ concerns that wind power generation may be harmful to humans."

"Mr. Poilievre, who was touring the Alberta oil sands on Wednesday, said he thinks wind turbines should face the same stringent oversight as that governing the extraction of tarry bitumen."

1. Poilievre is the worst

Pierre Poilievre might be my least favourite person in the world. He's an entitled smarmy ass-kissing little douchebag, but he has that quality that his master (Harper) loves - the ability to go on camera and flat-out lie, or evade questions while insisting that he is answering them, and how dare you point out that I'm not really answering the question, and fuck you liberal media. When Dean Del Mastro was on English TV blatantly lying about robocalls, Poilievre was doing the same on francophone shows. He has not a shred of integrity. Or dignity. Or shame.

Ahem. Poilievre is my MP, which means I feel like I have no meaningful representation in Parliament, and that makes me a bit angry.

As for the "regulation" of wind power, the hypocrisy is so blatant it doesn't even need to be explained, so I guess Poilievre is the perfect mouthpiece for this issue. I mean, it takes a special kind of neocon asshole to be able to say that "science and facts should rule our decisions" given his government's defunding of research and silencing of scientists.

So rich.
