But it is way more than a little bit hypocritical for our government to say to the international community that we will not partake in Kyoto, go it alone (or possibly join the rival do-nothing Asian Pacific pact) and then be involved in the negotiations for OTHER countries who believe in International action. Do you not see this?<BR/><BR/>If I was from one of the other Countries, like say the UK, who has reduced their emissions by 14 – 18% and is very dedicated to much larger cuts in the future then I would be more than a little bit annoyed that the commission is chaired by a person like Rona Ambrose who does not believe in cutting emissions, from a party like the Conservatives that do not believe in cutting emissions, from a Country like Canada that has had the worst performance among Countries in Kyoto and will do worse under the Conservatives.<BR/><BR/>Rona Ambrose must resign. It is the only honorable thing to do. If she does not I hope the representatives from other countries (you know the ones who are doing something to improve our future) kick her and Canada out. By her staying in her position she is sullying Canada’s reputation. If you refuse to play by the rules then you should not be allowed to play. Do you not see this Craig?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-1147333151093711302006-05-11T03:39:00.000-04:002006-05-11T03:39:00.000-04:00And what the hell was the loyal Opposition doing a...And what the hell was the loyal Opposition doing at the time?<BR/><BR/>Feathering their nests, like the rest of them. Dissenters! Assenters! Either or, same thing.<BR/><BR/>What are we going to do now? Canada, all of us? Who's got a plan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-1147317198333337352006-05-10T23:13:00.000-04:002006-05-10T23:13:00.000-04:00if you do a little digging you will actually find ...if you do a little digging you will actually find out that these dissenters represent organizations and lobby groups that are no longer on the gravy train for Federal Government grants. <BR/><BR/>The new rule to show where the money was spent and whether it was spent to provide measurable benefits to the taxpayer has eliminated most of them. <BR/><BR/>Paying themselves salaries and organizing protests is not deemed to be something we taxpayers should fund. <BR/><BR/>It is sour grapes - and Canada is not "pulling out of Kyoto". They can't and they won't. However, we are 13 years behind in finding solutions not only greenhouse gases (which is not pollution) but cleaning up our air and water and various other wastes.<BR/><BR/>Do you think these problems just happened in the past three months? So why would you think they can be solved in three months. <BR/><BR/>So far the Cons have legislated emmissions by smelters, initiated a new biofuel for airlines and today two new bio-diesel low sulpher emmision plants opened in Alberta and Quebec. Legislation will follow on usage. <BR/><BR/>Thee are several ethanol plants being built , and they have allocated multi-millions for harbour cleanup. <BR/><BR/>There is $2 billion in the climate change budget that remains there to be allocated to programs. <BR/><BR/>And today they completed a missing link on air quality assessments and GHG study which shows that actually our emmisions are up 35% since Chretien signed the Kyoto agreement. <BR/><BR/>So, what is best for the earth - a pieve of paper to wave around saying you are a hero because you signed it - or real measurable actions and results. <BR/><BR/>I pick the latter. How about you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
