Harper "respects" Kyoto?
I was looking up articles on the internet, and I found some more petty attacks from Harper on Dion. It was concerning Bill C-288, the Kyoto protocol implementation act, which requires that the Conservative government respect Canada's commitments under the Kyoto accord. Harper found an another opportunity to bash his best buddy, Dion, he said "I guess this is what the Leader of the Liberal Party has come to. He failed so badly on his own plan, he is now asking us to produce one for him."
Apparently, Harper has recently made a public "decision" to "respect" the Kyoto Accord emission standards. However, regarding Bill C-288, Harper said, "I would point out that the bill has no plan of action in it. The bill gives the government no authority to spend any money to actually have a plan of action." Environment Minister John Baird traslated what Harper said with, "how could the government implement a bill with 'no money and no regulatory powers' behind it. So it's a bit of a joke."
Hmm, smart move Harper, remember the environment is the number one issue for the public at the moment. It's a serious campaign issue, not just a chance to bring down your opponent. People would prefer your positive action on the issue, rather than just insulting bills that were passed by a majority of Parliament!
The two websites I got my quotes from are:

Crack-a-lackin down!
I found this article on the Toronto Star web site, http://www.thestar.com/News/article/194140 and found it quite interesting. I am quite pleased to see the three opposing parties challenging the government-of-the-day. I believe it would be foolish for the Conservatives to call an election if a vote of non-confidence is passed on the Clean Air Act. I am happy that the Conservatives must alter their bill in-line with the Kyoto Protocol. We must do more to help preserve Mother Nature. Our environment must be one of the main focuses in politics because of our consume, consume, consume life styles we live, and there is no sign of us slowing down! Anyways, read the article and tell me what you think!
