Tell Harper: Stop Blocking UN Climate Talks « It’s Getting Hot In Here

As the UN climate talks continue in Bali, and many countries continue trying to make progress on international agreements on dealing with climate change, Canada’s conservative government seems to have a different plan – do the bidding of big oil and sabotage all progress at the climate talks, contrary to the wishes of most Canadians. So far has Canada slipped, under the current government, from its former position as bastion of international diplomacy at the Montreal negotiations two years ago, that at the weekend Canada won the “fossil of the day” award, for doing the most to block progress at the negotiations.

The position of the Coservative gov is much like that of a long time wife beater. He won’t stop beating his wife Mr Harper till you stop beating yours.. Sounds just as insipid as I wont stop poisoning my environment until you stop poisoning yours.
