Another case of mixed-up priorities

So far this year, the City of Kingston has discharged roughly 345 million litres of raw waste, compared to 89 million in 2007.

Most of that untreated sewage went directly into Lake Ontario, from which Kingston and dozens of other municipalities draw their drinking water.

Of course, they could always drink or poop in that $50M nifty entertainment complex they just built ... way to put the real important stuff first guys ! 345 million litres .... I'm finding it hard to wrap my head around that number .. 345 million litres of poop - in four months - straight into the lake. WOW.

When Heather O'Reilly decided she wanted to become an environmental activist, she thought it was important to learn from one of the best.

The Queen's University graduate student wasted no time in going straight to former U.S. vice-president Al Gore

O'Reilly said the most difficult aspect of talking to people about global warming is that it's hard to prove to those who don't believe it's happening.

"You can't see it, you can't breath it and you can't touch it," she said. "If I were to be questioned by those who truly don't believe that global warming is happening, I won't engage in debate because I am not a scientist."

So, you won't engage in debate because your not a scientist, but you will get your training in the subject .... from a politician ???

EGAD.

Wanna know what's really scary ?

O'Reilly will finish her master's degree in education this August. After graduating, she'll look for a teaching position.
