Canada’s Environment Minister Doesn’t Know What Ozone Is

Peter Kent, the federal minister of the environment, was not able to answer this in question period on Monday: “explain to the House what ozone is and what is the difference between its impact at low altitude and high altitude?

Instead, of trying to answer the question, he simply threw back an insult criticizing the “quality” of the questions from the opposition.

The man doesn’t know what ozone is!! There are seven year olds who could answer that and this man makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year!

If this is the person in charge of protecting Canada’s environment, I think it’s safe to assume we are screwed.
