AECL Sale - Blame Canada

Some thoughts I've found on the AECL:

From the Toronto Star:

From the Montreal Gazette:
http://www.montrealgazette.com/opinion/editorials/Ottawa+right+reactor+business/2369140/story.html

Now, they both argue the same point - that its our own fault that AECL isn't making money, because no one in Canada is buying CAN Uranium Deuterium (or Nambla) Reactors. So why should the world?

I would have to agree with both editorials. However, this goes far beyond profitability.

This comes down to Jim "The Axe" Flaherty's record as a neo-conservative. He wants to privatize and karate chop the budget. Deep down inside, I think he and Stephen Harper love this recession and destroyed our finances - not because they like to spend; but because when recovery finally sets in, we as a people will regain our senses and oppose deficits, giving Harper and Flaherty free hand to destroy our federal government, and in cases like the AECL selling off our national industries piece by piece.

I can't wait for the CBC to be bought by Rogers...
