my sarcasm is exactly because I have been following it.
That excuse is a really useless, shitty excuse. But expected.
Im pissed at the canadian government , Im pissed at a whole bunch of people, but the apathy and denial from is what pisses me off more
then you should be pissed the right govt which is the Liberal govt, PM Chretien in particular. He apparently signed kyoto without consulting parliment or even his own party.. And then the prick and Liberals sat on their hands, year after year, not lifting a finger to meet kyoto protocols. By the time Harper was elected, in a precarious minority govt, the goals were so far gone that they were unattainable.. I remember this.
"On taking office in 2007, Stephen Harper's government found their predecessors, for all their green rhetoric, had done little to cut Canada's emissions."
"He said meeting Canada's obligations under Kyoto would cost $13.6bn (10.3bn euros; £8.7bn): "That's $1,600 from every Canadian family - that's the Kyoto cost to Canadians, that was the legacy of an incompetent Liberal government"."
"Canada's current pledge is exactly the same as the US one - a cut of 17% from 2005 levels by 2020"
