Climate heroes continue to behave inconsistenly with science, common sense and respect. Canada’s Environment minister continually uses the term Climate Denier, which is anti-science in her attempt to squelch debate while she rips around in jets. Canada’s Gregor Robertson, a so-called climate hero has the biggest carbon footprint of any Canadian Municipal politician. If it all didn’t cost taxpayers so much, it might be tolerable.

Maybe P.J. O’Rourke was onto something when he said “its a popular delusion that Government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. No, enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money”.

Government Pays a $4.8M Performance Bonus For a Billion $ Screw Up

The Federal Government implemented a pay system for $309 Million, $400 million has been spent trying to fix it, as much as another $300 million is going to be needed to repair this system responsible for overpayments of $256 million of dollars. But don’t worry, those responsible for this catastrophe got paid  $4,827,913. in performance bonuses!

The difference in Gross Domestic Product per person between totalitarian versus Democratic countries is dramatic. Cuba $450 vs Mexico $3610. Or how about Hungary @ $3550 vs Austria @ $23,510. The list goes on, but the really big surprise is that only 30% of Americans born after 1980 think its essential to live in a Democratic country!!!!
