Canada disgraces itself on the enviroment.

Ladies and Men,

I am ashamed to be a Canadian today, our Government has rejected the kyoto accords and refused to adhere to restrictions which could help save the environment because they are unwilling to accept that the economy would have to take a hit in order to fulfill them.

This is an example of the classic situation of whats more important? Your money or your life? In this case they have chosen money.

The only good side to this is that it will most likely cost the conservatives the next election. Due to the fact that if they don't enact the restrictions, then the public will slam them for putting the final nail in the economy. If they do then they plan to pass the costs onto the people in the form of drastically higher energy bills which people could not pay and would result in them being voted out.

I think the UN needs to enact sanctions against my country until they accept their responsibilities to aid in preventing the complete collapse of the environment given that we are one of the world's leading polluters.

I think this is something the nations of the world need to get involved in, because what we are doing to the environment will effect everyone around the globe.

I have never been this ashamed of my country before.

So is it okay if we Americans bash you night and day liek you and the tools in the UK do every day? 😱

Just...kidding... sorta.

But yeah, it really is a shame how so many countries refuse to clean up the enviroment due to "money issues". I would understand more if it was a third world country. But a rich country like the US and Canada have no excuse. It's just greed.

I strongly doubt that this will bring down the Conservatives. Kyoto was never that popular and the Conservatives have done an excellent job this term. Who is going to replace them? The Liberals are the only party with the support to do it, but they are a mess of hemhawing, empty promises and marred by the ad scandals.

I'm glad they abandoned the Kyoto Accord. That said, I believe that sweeping environmental reforms are needed, but Kyoto was unreasonable. Also, the fact that Alberta has the fastest growing economy in the world right now and the fact that the Albertan provincial government has already denounced the Kyoto Accord, it has made the Kyoto Accord obsolete in Canada.

I strongly doubt that this will bring down the Conservatives. Kyoto was never that popular and the Conservatives have done an excellent job this term. Who is going to replace them?

I smell a conservative. Whats unreasonable is letting the environment crash and burn in order to make the country richer. There are things we can do to absorb the cost. Reduce government salaries, cut expense accounts to politicians. Increase the taxes to the super rich and cut out the loopholes that allow them to avoid paying taxes.

im afraid he's right. thank these people for bumping the thread for you because its the only activity it will see imho.

I actually do care about this topic and we all should show some concern because this is about the world we live in.

I'm guessing a lot of us do not know what the Kyoto Protocol is. I would explain but it is late. Here is a link that gives a short synopsis:

Kyoto Protocol

The only reason to abandon this environmental project would be money. All these things are achievable, but this is about capital and nothing else.

Maybe I'll explain more later if people need it but I am tired.

Good for Canada, it's idiotic to to severely disable your economy because of a unproven hysteria issue...
