Green Party Leader, Leader of No one by the way, as Canadians voted with their concience resulting in Elizabeth may should stick to other pursuits than politics. Anyways Elizabeth peed in Canada’s Cornflakes bu stating Canada’s dismal failure in Environmental Policies is something the world should be concerned about.
Granted Canada my be far from perfect, but then in this eco climate and job losses the world over, along with countries refusing to take our recyclables, perhaps we could do more to reduce, reuse and recycle. But do we rally need May’s ever present Waggin Finger to chastise Canadians, after all isn’t that why we have David Suzuki? At least David Suzuki has the credentials to critique Canada’s Environmental POlicies, not a an armchair Environmentalist with no Educational background in Environmental studies?
The UN climate conference in Poznan, Poland, was a “mark of shame” for Canada, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said on Saturday.
Delegates from poorer nations were angry at Canada for not meeting its commitments under the Kyoto protocol, as well as all industrialized countries for stalling on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, May told CBC News.
During the conference, which began Dec. 1, Canada won several Fossil of the Day Awards, announced by Climate Action Network International, a group that includes more than 400 non-governmental organizations.
“It was embarrassing being a Canadian at these meetings,” May said.
