The Montreal Gazette Headline is priceless;Kyoto protocol mostly hot air, minister says
The importance of Kyoto is much overblown, it is an attempt to make capitalism sustainable, which it ain't. Kyoto allows for exchange of carbon credits, and for increased dependance on clean energy; read nuclear power versus dirty energy read coal. Ottawa wants Kyoto softened
That being said the Government of Canada signed on to Kyoto. The Government of Canada not the Liberal Party. Which the Harpocrites cannot stomach. Which is why they are attempting to abandon anything the Liberals did. So they will overturn Kyoto and the Firearms Registry and accept BMD through the back door of NORAD.
Basically they have an anti-Liberal fetish. They believe the Government for the past six years was not 'the Government' but the Liberal Party. Unfortunately it is a selective fetish. A selective choice of which Government of Canada agreements and policies the Conservatives will abide by and which they will abandon. Or we would not be in Afghanistan. But what's that saying about consistency and hobgoblins?
Of course then again there is the simple fact that the Harpocrites are just Bush League, shamelessly parroting everything the White House does.

ReplyDeleteHow idiotic must one be to completely ignore the environment? $1 billion in environment policy cut, and replacement policy to be created whenever they can get around to it.
It's one thing to promote non-corrupt government and financial efficient, but clear Harper's new neo-cons are right out to lunch.
