Quick Hit: Rick Mercer on Carbon Capture and Big Oil

This week's series of Rick Mercer Report clips up on CBC have two particularly insightful (not to mention funny) segments worth checking out. First, Rick's Rant has a good point about the state of Canadian and American democracy (in particular, his comments regarding youth). Second, in Stelmach's No Show he calls out Alberta for its willingness to pay Oil Companies $500 million in taxpayer dollars to develop carbon capture and sequestration technology, rather than imposing a carbon tax (which would subscribe to a 'polluter pays' principle).
