Canadian Government Sinks More Money into Propping Up Fossil Fuels and Planes
Sigh…so it appears that the current federal budget has money earmarked for “making improvements to air travel”. They have $1.8 billion dollars devoted to this nebulous “improvement” campaign, specifically to improve security screening. Most of us know that the pain we go through at airport security is useless.
