@cabinradio A fitting headline in these times of #climateBreakdown #wildfires and #corporateCaptured govts.
@therightarticle "Rather than discounting futures, we should be doing the opposite – negative futures discounting. It sounds upside-down, but it boils down to this: we should value the future more, not less." Exactly! But #neoliberal #corporateCaptured govts value only the power they have today. Be damn the rest of us and our environments! #ukpolitics #cdnpoli #uspoli #CapitalismKills
Why the disregard #NovaScotia Premier #TimHouston? Why the rush to destroy incredible #Wetland and #MatureForest? Private Profits rather than public places is always #1 with #CorporateCaptured governments.

Health Canada downplayed scientific concerns about risks of toxic pesticide

Canada's pesticide regulator repeatedly ignored red flags raised by its own scientists about the health risks posed by the pesticide chlorpyrifos, stalling a review of the pesticide for close to 20 years, documents obtained by the environmental group Ecojustice reveal.

Tragically, the #CorporateCaptured politicians including, in #NovaScotia, Premier Tim Houston; Minister of Natural Resources (to be cut down) Tory Rushton and Minister of #Environment AND #ClimateChange (fueling) Timothy Halman along with #Canada Minister of Environment (former activist) Steven Guilbeault simply Don't Care.
