Just because I put things in a blue box and separate my garbage does not mean that the environmental concerns are mitigated or solved. That's just paying lip service to being a responsible neighbor. There are far more environmental issues at stake.
The thing that pissed me off most about Harper's conservatives was the defunding of scientific programs and the muzzling of scientists. That might not seem like a big deal to some, but on principle I can't support anyone who refuses to use STEM as the core principle in their decision making and vision for this country. It's a non-starter, simply because those mindsets drive where funding (or lack of funding) actually goes from a public purse perspective.
It's all about where your priorities lay.

Things haven't really changed. The Liberal government is doing the same thing. Scientists are still muzzled.
Politicians just pander and say things that will get them the most votes. I said it during the last election, in recent years for those not ingrained in party doctrine, it is not about parties as much as it is voting for who will leave the lessor of a mess.
