I never said not to shut the coal plants, I never said not to address pollution, I'd love for all money thats going to be pissed away on GHG's and GW to be put into sewage treatment plants, scrubbers for every smokestack and tailpipe in Canada....high intensity plasma burners instead of burrying our garbage...but we cant...and we cant because very few want to be honest about GWing, and that is that there's very little Canada can do. But when there's an election to be fought and won..why bother worrying about whats best for the Country.

Sorry. By you pathetic logic, Ontario should forget about closing the coal plants, because the American EPA has eased restrictions, which means more pollution coming across the border.

You cant answer that, no one can, because it would require total honesty, it would require you to admit that the GW sniping isnt about saving our planet, because thats not in our hands to decide, its about partisanship. And, one more question, how is being totally honest an irresponsible perspective? I would suggest to you that the Harperites who praise our leader understanding GW are irresponsible, because, anyone with a brain can see Mr Harper is using catch phrases and photo ops to convince people that he's something he isnt. I would also suggest to you that the Left in this country who would have us believe that a change in government is the only way to save our planet are also irresponsible, either that or plain dumb. Total honesty sucks...because it doesnt help the left or the right..its just the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-6175250867085037862007-08-10T12:54:00.000-04:002007-08-10T12:54:00.000-04:00kc:) Caffeine good.kc<BR/><BR/>:) Caffeine good.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-79166626520447166292007-08-10T12:27:00.000-04:002007-08-10T12:27:00.000-04:00Touche.

You all preach, you all chirp from the sidelines, but, why dont you guys be honest for a change. No matter what Harper says, does or impliments will slow down Global Warming. Nothing Mr Dion says or does or impliments will slow down Global Warming. If we are to believe the rate of CO2 emmissions that Canada emmits, and if we are to believe what China and India and Russia all emmitt, than, nothing Canada does will matter. So, other than partisan chirping, which is fair, you guys be honest...without the usuall rhetoric about Canada being a model blah blah blah..be honest..what can Canada do to stop, hinder or slow down Global Warming. Is Harper playing a game with GW? Yep. So was Chretien, so was Martin, and, funny, you didnt hear the same knashing of teeth 5 years ago.

Research maybe to calculate its extent so we can figure out how to cope with it as well as research may help make selling the idea we need to do more easier to the public. While I think most Canadians want to do something about global warming, I am not sure most Canadians understand the price that needs to be paid or are willing to make the proper sacrifices.Monkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-1194654734009810252007-08-09T23:01:00.000-04:002007-08-09T23:01:00.000-04:00Robert, you are correct.

Harper is saying we need more research but Baird is saying we don't need more research. The Cons have been doing this a lot lately. Harper will say one thing--presumably speaking to the left--and one of his cabinet drones will say another--presumably speaking to the right.Robert McClellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441059623685149683noreply@blogger.com
