Split enviro personality

Hmm, the NDP can't seem to decide what they want to do about the enviroment.
Be it hunting, fishing, forestry or Bi-pole III, their stance always seems to be what's political.

Now, government's take it on the chin all the time from enviro groups. Most people don't even pay attention to them.
But our old friend Orange did, and she's on there defending jobs on the west side of the province. It's people first for Orange.
Except on the east side, I guess. Can't cut down that pristine forest for the Bi-pole III line. Over there trees and bunnies trump all.
I think this is called talking outside both sides of your mouth.
Actually Orange makes some sense on this one - we do need to worry about jobs.
That said, the province also needs to worry about caribou. And moose. And a lot of other issues their urban base has no idea what to do about.
But when I see the NDP twisting themselves the way they do... I find it very amusing.
