Editorial: Rough Road Ahead for Canada's New Environment Minister
Montreal Gazette
With the announcement of Leona Aglukkaq as the new federal environment minister in last week’s cabinet shuffle, the prime minister’s office highlighted her Inuk heritage and connection to Canada’s Arctic region as among the assets she will bring to her new executive role. Full story here.
Comments
If Leona Aglukkaq has the will and fortitude to apply herself to protecting Canada's environment, as it must and should be protected, I am afraid she will not last long in the Harper regime. There are are so many pit bull Industry/Resources ministers that will oppose her concerns and cares as THEY ambitiously seek development progress, at any cost, and to hell with any needed protection.
As the SIXTH Environment Minister in the Harper Conservative Government in less than eight years. I would wish her all the best and success in her new undertaking, but I'm afraid that if she attempts and proceeds to do what is so desperately needed, candidates number SEVEN and EIGHT are waiting in the wings just off stage
