Idiots. All of you.

Sweet merciful monkey jeebus. From Jeff Simpson's latest column (behind paywall, use this link.):

Believe it or not, some representatives of the Alberta oil and gas industry suggested to the Harper government that it legislate greenhouse-gas emissions for large carbon emitters such as themselves, but the government turned the suggestion down because some ministers don't believe that human activity causes global warming. Imagine: An industry suggests government impose burdens on it, and the government refuses!

Look, I know that the Liberal party doesn't do nearly as bad in Alberta as it's provincial representation suggests, and I know that the actions of the government don't reflect the people of the province. So let me pray fervently and resolutely that these morons get booted out of office in the next election.
