Good grief, Alberta on the brink of economic collapse and we're worried about songbirds upping their pitch to be heard over the din? I wonder how much this "study" cost?

I wonder who paid for this study? 

[Adam Varga + 123]

Tax payers, of course. What a waste of money.

I particularly like the study that determined being homeless is bad for your health. Whoddathunkit?

My other favs:

"The more time a person lives under a democracy, the more likely she or he is to support democracy"

"Statistical analysis reveals Mexican drug war increased homicide rates"

 

Money well spent, I say!
