Canada's federal environment minister’s decision not to represent the country at The Climate Summit of the Americas this week in Toronto raised the question: how did she spend her time instead?


Opening a park that opened in 2003?

But Aglukkaq had other announcements to attend. During her northern tour, she gave a key gymnasium speech last week, attended by some 150 voters. Her talk was about the "official opening of Ukkusiksalik National Park” in Naujaat, her Facebook states.

But the national park has been open for 12 years, according to Parks Canada. It was created by the Liberal Chrétien government.

Good on her. All these conferences are a waste of time and a waste of someone else's money.

I love what Tay considers journalism.

At least they got the fact that she was in Nunavut correct, lol.

It was just an Al Gore lovefest. Another chance for our Dear Leader to get he mug on a photo shoot and actually pretend she is doing something other than spending Ontario to the grave. It was so much a sham that even the environmentalists were protesting it and there was not 1 thread by MentalFloss on the subject. Without this thread dissing a Conservative, there would have been zero threads.

It was interesting to hear Al Gore say 'well it isn't as bad as I had told you previously' (not direct quote). I guess all the carbon credits that have built him his mansion have improved the forecast for the environment.

Had this been a summit on dealing with the Ukraine situation Canada would've been there. Had this been a summit on dealing with Islamic extremism in the Americas Canada would've been there. Had this been a summit on lower middle class francophone gay scouts who like soccer and cross dressing Canada would've been there.

Because the Ontario government organised this in part due to the Pan-Am games and in part to score partisan political points the Fed have elected to snub their nose if the article is true. They should've however sent a representative of some form even at a junior level to point out clearly that provinces have zero business organising international summits period and should stick to their jurisdiction.

'Climate Summits'.. are a waste of time.. as the FRAUD of AGW.. and its disastrous potential 'solutions' have become ever more evident.

With all these tools who think climate change is a hoax and vote for them anyway, this is not surprising news.

When will the sheeple learn?

Sheeple are those who buy into a ideological and political agenda.. deeply antipathetic to the human cause.. riddled with contradictions and ulterior motives.. without an ounce of scientific credibility.. or even the pretense of scientific method.. and in thrall of a fantasy eco-utopia.

Baahh.. the Judas goat of radical environmentalism is calling all sheeple to follow.. to the slaughter floor.
