quote: “I won‘t get involved in French domestic politics, it‘s not my way to get involved as she did in ours‘‘ Ambrose said [at the UN Climate Conference in Nairobi this week].

How hypocritical is that when Canada is presently involved in occupying Afghanistan by military force? Isn't that being 'involved in other nations internal politics'?

Add to that the fact that global warming is caused by fossil fuel emissions that do not stay within borders, making it an issue that demands "inter-national involvement" , and Canada's current government is refusing to meet the Kyoto targets on the basis that the targets are not attainable, despite the fact that France and 40 other nations are allready meeting those targets.

Rambrose also cited economic hardship as a reason to not move faster on fossil fuel emissions reductions, to which the French Foreign Minister replied that NONE of the nations who are meeting Kyoto targets have had any economic downturn.

It is absolutely ridiculous. Rambrose is ridiculous.

If she's going to waste everyone's time at international conventions she could a least get some feistiness pointers from Gadaffi or someone else with a little entertainment value to them. This mini-Steve thing she's trying to pull off (no pun intended) hardly even plays when she has home field advantage.

oH sPARE mE!

If you want to talk hypocracy, how about that Liberal scum arsehole Godfrey in Kenya playing domestic politics at the expense of our international reputation.

He actually had the unmitigated nerve to claim the Liberals were DOING something about climate change, when our emissions rose 35%.......that is WENT UP in case anyone can't read English, and the Liberals did NOTHING.....that's N-O-T-H-I-N-G except pay lip service to an idiotic deal that would have had us sending money to China...............

And that is the truth.

Or an international waste of time....why didn’t you send in Taliban Jack? He would have had lots to talk about with Gadaffi.

The Conservatives are supposed to be masters of their own destiny, not perrenial hapless victims. Ambrose had a year and a half to turn her "very thorough policy" into something real and in all that time the best she could come up with was a fart in the wind and a promise to take the stink out of it some time next year. And we're supposed to feel sorry for her because all she had to show for herself at the conference was excuses and empty promises? Not by my scorecard.

Jack would have shown up with a fully scoped, widely approved and financially sound plan.

To be fair, Kyoto was only ratified in 2002. During the Liberal minority they tried things like making greenhouse gases a controllable substance, which was handilly voted down. They did get automakers to committ to producing cars with better emission standards, thats a 5.3 megatonnes cut by 2010. Granted not much has happened, but I don't see anything happening with this act until 2010, and that is assuming the Conservatives still are the governing party.

financially sound plan.

Of course they would have, that's why Ontario votes NDP members in all the time. They are financially sound and have a great undersatnding of politics.

Who?

Jack Layton would have a fully flushed out plan?

He barely has any seats to call himself a political party. Maybe he should work on that plan first.

Careful now, noticing the obvious will have some leftie calling you a troll.


Why doesn't Jack invite "Gadaffi" in for a meeting?

Day-in, day-out, Jack Layton and the New Democrats are standing up to Stephen Harper and the Conservatives, holding them to account for their abysmal record on the environment.

Just like they did to the Liberals....I can see why you shed tears over this.

Its called remedial fiscal measures and it saved Canada's ass even if the people who should know better won't admit it because the corporate beast won't like it. The cost of money for Rae's little venture has already been paid off, the rest is zeros on the balance sheet.

Ya were in great shape, thanks. I'll write a letter to Rae immediately and tell him how he saved Canada even if he won't use the idea for his Liberal candidateship in public for fear of reprisal.
