Until I get a sustainable, acceptable answer to my question, I will continue to ask: "Where does it say that people must work in fossil fuel extraction industries?"

In his article, Keith Baldrey declares that the provincial NDP was OK to switch gears and propose subsidies to the LNG companies. He admittedly does a good spin to justify their position, citing the usual political excuse: jobs, jobs, jobs. But no convoluted justification in the world will ever make their decision any more palatable.

It's more than well-known that there is so much more that such subsidy money must be spent on - renewables, electric transportation, etc.

As a well-read "chief political correspondent," Baldrey must do better than this.
