CBC Bingocallers & Jahbs!Jahbs!Jahbs!
Our Bingocaller-Emeritus, Peter Mansbridge, took it upon himself to question Jack Layton's commitment to jobs vs the environment in that tired old way Conservative media hacks have of letting taxpayers know how they're planning to vote in the next election. He had zeroed in on the Tarsands Development, the most egregious pollution scheme ever devised by oilmen and their best friends - Conservative governments - and Jack Layton pointed out that foreign workers are actually being brought in to develop this oh-so-Canadian project, mostly because the oil industry can get away with paying them less and not bothering with the same occupational health & safety protections they would accord Canadian workers. Also, Albertans themselves (who have one of the best records in developing new energy technologies, according to Mr. Layton) are voicing concerns about the damage the Tarsands development is doing to the province's other natural resources.
Haha! Good question, Mr. C-man!
Why ARE temporary jobs for foreign workers more important to Stephen Harper than the sustainability of Canada's energy policies and the health and well-being of Albertans?
