My application entry

I threw an application in to CBC. Here it is.

Our province's impact on the ecology of the planet, and the connection between our lifestyles here and injustice suffered around the world - these issues should be dominating any responsible policy discussion at any level.

Clean coal and nuclear power - while better than old-school-coal and, say, burning old furniture found in the back alleys of Regina's North Central - are clearly not solutions to the dirty-energy crisis. If we're honest with ourselves, the only "clean" energy we've got comes from processes where nothing's being burned. Except for maybe the Sun. Our leaders should be challenging us to make sacrifices to this end.

I could go on, but this application box is so tiny. In short: it’s time for the NDP, the Saskatchewan Party, those other guys, and the people of our province generally to own up to the fact that the lifestyle decisions we make have far-reaching consequences. Basic cause-and-effect principle as taught by sask.-curriculum-abiding social studies teachers throughout the province.

Let’s have that discussion this Fall. (It will be this fall, right? Please?)
