Don’t defund freshwater research, Ontario and Manitoba tell Tories

[Swede]

The massive budget bill that is expected to pass in the House of Commons as early as Monday cuts about $2-million in annual funding to the research station and the ELA will be closed unless a new operator can be found.

Scientists say the decision was politically motivated, arguing Ottawa is ending its support of the ELA because it was producing data the Conservatives did not want to take into account as they promote the development of Alberta’s oil sands.

1. Of course.

The Conservatives don't want anyone to know that they don't care who and what is damaged because of their greed for oil money. Besides, Ontario doesn't vote conservative as a rule!
