Ottawa wasted climate talks, McGuinty says

[canada-man]

Canadians are "punching below our weight" on climate change and Prime Minister Stephen Harper squandered an opportunity to lead at Copenhagen, charges Premier Dalton McGuinty.

In his most candid remarks since world leaders last Friday concluded a summit on greenhouse gas emissions with a noncommittal three-page pact that sets no long-term reduction targets, the premier lambasted Ottawa.

"It was a missed opportunity for us as people, as a species, frankly," he said in an interview with Global News' Focus Ontario to be broadcast Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

Yeh, right Dalton McGuinty he'd have out-punched the Chinese.

Further was it only a year ago + that he was so upset about the Hamilton Steel Mill? Boy oh boy that's a non-polluting industry.

McSquinty is just looking to get some cheap PR points by attacking the conservatives.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Typical LLL, let's blame ourselves and nobody else. We are bad, everybody else is good.

It is about time that Canada stopped being the nice guy doormat internationally. We finally have a Prime Minister who refuses to kiss the ass of the "international community". (Note: I still won't give PM Harper a majority because he will outlaw sex.)

With Nanticoke still operating does McSquint have the slightest bit of environmental credibility ?

 

[landscaper]

He has all the credibility he wants to claim, whether or not any body actually pays any attention to him is a different story

The stock RRR mantra, nothing more....
