Are there any Canadians (or others) embarrassed about our government's handling of environmental issues?

Question

We had a great opportunity to be leaders in conservation and now we are not only followers but indeed holding up the show alltogether.

Why are we allowing Harper and his ostrich approach towards the pollution of the planet to dominate our national mindset instead of listening to people like Suzuki who have had it right all along?

Can't anyone see the economic benefits of not burning as much fossil fuels?

Whats a few thousand jobs compared to a few billion lives? (besides noone says that gas and oil are the only ways to make money)

Whats our money going to buy us when there is no more clean air left to breathe and no more clean water left to drink?

Answer 1

Global warming must be stopped so that mankind will survive.

Answer 2

Again we see a one sided and naive approach to a complex problem prompted by Suzuki and the kneejerk media. This issue cannot be resolved in a 30 second soundbite.

Kyoto would systematically shut down most of the oil and gas development in the western provinces. Kyoto would shut down the majority of heavy and medium industry in the rest of Canada.

Blindly jumping onto the Kyoto bandwagon would cause hundreds of thousands of people to be out of work and increase the cost of both electricity and gas. This of course would overload the EI safety net, causing taxes to go way up making it impossible to run a business in Canada.

A better question is why should some countries such as China be allowed to "legally" ignore Kyoto and other countries have to pay the price?

There is a middle ground but it involves making everyone cut emissions and recognize that we must do so in a timeline that meets both environmental and societial needs. Kyoto is flawed and needs to be rebuilt. Such an agreement is needed but Kyoto is not it.

Answer 3

concentration on the easily crime committed and to no longer the guy who had committed the crime if there is any??? to this element, there remains no regulation on the subject of video voyeurism. i'm no longer precisely conscious if decrease than what specific regulation will Dr Kho be charged for violation. Sec Raul Gonzales is returned making a humorous assertion by ability of asserting that Dr Kho may well be convicted pointing out the Wiretapping regulation yet once you will study this regulation, that's no longer in any respect proper nor linked to the act being committed interior the area being stated. we would desire to be honest and purpose till now we choose human beings. we don't have the finished data, and the only element that we've seen is the video which does no longer for sure present day the data and info of the story. the thought Katrina isn't conscious that she is being taped remains a "thought" and "one sided tale" from the prosecutor. If the government is somewhat severe approximately this, they'd desire to discover the peron who earned tens of millions by ability of seeling and putting those movies interior the information superhighway. I hate all politicians who're driving into this project. in the event that they are fairly worried of the guideline of regulation, we would desire to constantly have already prosecuted Mike Arroyo and GMA for betrayal of public have confidence. All politicians are utilising this Dr. Kho project to deviate from the real project and affliction of our society. i do no longer even agree that this controversy be placed as a headline in all important papers. by ability of how, i'm inspired that Bong Revilla spoke plenty for the 1st time in a privilege speech in Senate... Katrina Halili video lang pala ang makakapagpapasalita sa kanya???
