Do you ever read the news? Harper's gutted Parks Canada in his ominbus budget.

Quote:
In 2014, Parks Canada will receive $29-million less from federal coffers than it did last year. Some parks will be open for shorter seasons and more than 600 staff will lose their jobs. Many of those who have received notices are scientists.

“When it comes to science capacity, it isn’t that there is duplication or waste,” Mr. Hébert-Daly said. “If you’re cutting it by 30 per cent, you are cutting the actual science by 30 per cent. And what that means is more species will go extinct without us knowing about it. It means that more and more parks are going to get threatened by all sorts of dangers that we aren’t able to measure.”
