The Complete Hypocrisy about Kyoto

Canada's new Environment Minister, Rona Ambrose, is getting grilled by the party of hypocrisy, the Liberals. Under the recent 12 year Liberal reign, Canada never came close to meeting our emission targets. Yet now these underachievers are blaming the new party, just 100 days into their reign, of not living up to the Kyoto agreement. Pathetic.

The truth is that Canadians would have to dramatically change the way they live their lives if there was any hope of Kyoto being met. No one else on the face of the earth is prepared to make such changes, so why should we? Yet there are those Liberals, claiming we should. The sad thing is that such words do appeal to their base - people who clearly find "logic" and "facts" too great an impediment to their thinking, so they never bother using them.

With a minority government currently in power, there will almost surely be another federal election sometime next year. At that time, Canadians will have an important decision to make: Do we return to the old days of rarely to never walking our talk, or do we actually grow up and start accepting some small degree of accountability and responsibility?

Sadly, I fear that most will opt for the easy route.
