Funny how the right NEVER cites any proof from the Walkerton Inquiry.
Guess this is why:
Chapter 13, section 13.7.1, pgs 464-5.
In addition, I concluded in the Part 1 report of this Inquiry that budget cuts at the MOE
had both a direct effect and an indirect effect on the events in Walkerton. The
direct effect was the failure to enact a regulation mandating testing laboratories
to follow a notification protocol at the time of the privatization of laboratory
testing services. The indirect effect was that budget cuts made it less likely that
approvals or inspections programs would have led to the discovery of problems
at Walkerton.

Worth it I think, to cut the thousands of deaths and serious illness caused by fossil fuel electricity generation. And of course, to contribute to a cleaner future.
However, we took no advantage of readily available taxpayer funds, as it is hardly appropriate to give businesses welfare, towards what it should be doing anyway - improving efficiency and productivity.

I remember 16 years ago, when the "poorly educated" cheered their getting together to elect Bush and Cheney.
Then over 10,000 Americans were killed in the WTC, Iraq, Katrina,etc
Then unemployment increased to 10% and the American economy crashed because of their Republican policies. Then many Americans lost homes and life savings. Banksters were foreclosing on homes that did not have mortgages
Then 8 years ago, a black a guy was elected to clean up the Republican mess.
Unemployment dropped to under 5% and the stock markets tripled.

What it does do is stratify incomes, leaving immigrant workers in a constant state of servitude. The exception might be the increased opportunity for their children if they have some access to American health and education. But we don't want to do that, they aren't 'maricans'.
American business will accept their substandard pay, reward their shareholders, and make a tidy fortune of ownership or upper management. That's just 'smart' for a some ownership groups. American consumers will accept the low cost food - we don't have to deal with the reality of those that provide it.
*A lot of American agriculture is already mechanized, this will just accelerate the trend. We have destroyed millions of Mexican farm jobs with our ability to mass produce products at a price human beings can't match. Yaa, guilt free winning. | 4 | That's a nice story but I ask you, do you seriously believe that American workers will now take over the majority of farm worker jobs? It's seasonal, migratory work.
This is interesting:
-The majority (72%) of all farmworkers were foreign born.
-68 percent of all farmworkers were born in Mexico
-The average individual farmworker income ranged from $12,500 to$14,999 and the average total family income ranged from $17,500 to $19,999.
Sound pretty good?
