Absolutely. There is a really good column by Rex Murphy in the National Post today. The president of Memorial University in Newfoundland, Dr. Vianne Timmons, spoke up for the oil industry saying that it was important to Newfoundland, important to her university, and pointed out that many of their engineers, faculty and students had benefited from the industry. Newfoundland is in big, big trouble. Several offshore oil projects have been shelved, unemployment is high, the population is aging, Covid has hit tourism. And fewer Newfoundlanders are working in Alberta these days. So what she said shouldn’t have been controversial. What do we get instead?? There was “nearly instantly, criticism from more than 340 staff and students at MUN that the president’s comments went against the university’s pledge to fight climate change.” Newfoundland is in a dangerous decline and there is open speculation the province may go bankrupt. It should be a time for people to put things into perspective. For the greens, that just doesn’t happen.
