AND NOW FOR INTERESTING CANADIAN NEWS - Artemisback - 05-16-2012 Think the Conservatives 425-page omnibus budget implementation bill is only about Canada's finances? Think again. Bill C-38 amends over 70 different Acts, and 150 pages of the bill could end over 50 years of environmental oversight in Canada.  Within weeks, with next to no debate, and barely any public discussion, this budget could become law - unless you take a stand. Here's just part of what that means in practice. [li]Repeal of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act so the federal government can sidestep environmental reviews of potentially harmful projects;[/li] [li]Weakenening of several environmental laws, including laws protecting species at risk and water, and giving the federal cabinet the authority to approve new pipeline projects and overrule the National Energy Board; and,[/li] [li]Repeal of the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act to fight climate change.[/li] It's up to you to speak up now before Canadians wake up to news of an unimaginable environmental catastrophe. Please sign and share our petition:"Warn Canadians: Harper is ending environmental protection." Thank you.
