MLA Chelsae Petrovic slams citizens of Alberta with a broad and damning paintbrush, with no understanding that caring concerns for the environment are of benefit to her and all who think like her.
Any or all books by Lorne Fitch should be required reading by all who enter the legislature and parliament. Understanding and appreciating nature, our connection to the land, its waters and creatures is the underpinning of our success or failure as a society and species. Indigenous people know this. Legislators need to know this. Our most precious resources are the water, clean air and fertile soil. All projects should be viewed through the lens of sustaining our nature, our ecosystems, and judged accordingly.
The UCP base in Alberta is primarily evangelical christian.
There is an Alliance church, US based, in most Alberta communities.
Irrational belief in the inerrancy of the bible, god given "dominion" over the earth, " in the world but not of it" thinking, total support for Israel, belief in "End Times" prophesy etc are the hallmarks of this cult.
Scientific thought, history and geography are "trumped" by these beliefs.
Having people like these wielding political power in Alberta, and in many parts of North America does not bode well for those of us who require evidence to bolster belief.
There is no such thing as “responsible resource development” under the UCP. They are cheerleaders for industry but ignore valid environmental concerns & public safety. Add on top of that our captured regulator the AER & polluters get a free pass every time.
