Buried in the lower echelon of news on this Friday is a very intriguing piece on just how poorly the Harper government is doing in another area.
This time, it is the environment. It seems Canada’s government not only has no plan, but also has no intention of helping the world make itself a better place for future generations.
Let’s look at two articles bouncing around in the press.
-----------
“Canada accused of blocking summit progress”
“World disappointed with Canada at climate talks”
----------
It seems to me that disappointment in this current government is turning into too weak of a word. How can we be doing nothing? The one article even states that the world community is very positive about the steps President-elect Obama will bring to the table.
How is it that the individuals elected to the highest posts in the land cannot make as much sense or as informed decisions as one of our nation’s bright 17-year olds? Case in point:
"I think they're definitely disappointed," 17-year-old delegate Megan McKeen told Canada AM on Friday about the international community's reaction to Canada's unpopular stand.
"Canada should be in a position where we are stepping up and showing leadership. That's what developed nations are expected to do in a situation like this."
Just another thing to ponder as our parliament is prorogued.
