Quebec gets FDR
From Montreal Gazette via Globalwarming.org:
Yet more proof that English-speaking rulers (including Canada's national gov't) are accelerating ever faster toward Hell, while French-speaking rulers have maintained some level of rationality, some regard for the interests and prosperity of their own people. ¶ 6:26 PM
Premier Jean Charest said Monday his government’s Plan Nord, to invest $80 billion in public and private money to develop northern Quebec over the next 25 years, is a dream come true. ...
Investments in energy development, mining, forestry, transportation and tourism in the 1.2-million-square-kilometre region – twice the size of France – will create 20,000 jobs a year, generating $162 billion in growth and tax revenues of $14 billion.
Only 120,000 people live in that vast territory, including 10,000 Inuit, 16,000 Cree, 9,300 of Quebec’s 16,000 Innu and 1,000 Naskapi, as well as 87,000 non-natives.
Most of the money, $1.2 billion will be spent on roads, airports and other infrastructure projects.
Yet more proof that English-speaking rulers (including Canada's national gov't) are accelerating ever faster toward Hell, while French-speaking rulers have maintained some level of rationality, some regard for the interests and prosperity of their own people. ¶ 6:26 PM
