Canada, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Dana tipped me to the blog of “enviro girl” in Sweden.

Hey — it’s none other than Adrianne Begg, one of her former gymnasts and coaches at Marian Gymnastics in Saskatoon.

Regarding Canada and Kyoto …

I am embarassed and ashamed of Canada’s New Government today. This is bordering on changing the way I feel about being a Canadian… I really never thought that I would say that, not in a million years, but I feel so let down by our government that I feel completely separate from it. The New Canadian Government has been working counter to the best interests of the people in our country on the issues of the Environment and Climate Change in particular. …

It is absolutely appalling that Canada will be the only country to BACK OUT of the Kyoto Protocol. …

I am absolutely shocked at the action taken by the Environment Minister Rona Ambrose at the Kyoto Negotiations in Nairobi. Her statements at the UN meetings have embarrassed Canada, and shown disrespect to the rest of the international community, as well as the Canadian people themselves. …

Canada, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Adrianne’s pretty ticked at Rona Ambrose. But who is she? I don’t know the name.

OH NO! She’s a controversial politician from … Alberta.

Yeesh. Another right-wing politician who takes Ayn Rand too seriously. Named Minister of the Environment?

The press looks almost unanimously negative about what she is doing for Canada internationally.

I’d better add Rona Ambrose to my death watch list, along with that crook Bev Oda.

And I’ll subscribe to Adrianne’s blog. She’s following this issue closely.

I don’t know enough about Kyoto vs. alternatives to have formed an opinion myself.

Lastly — I sent this blog post to Rona Ambrose’s office.

  1. I agree with the comment “I don’t know enough about Kyoto vs. alternatives to have formed an opinion myself.” So far, from my uninformed perspective, Kyoto is mostly political maneuvering. There is no way that the “have” countries are going to cripple their own economies, and then watch as the 3rd world countries take over the lead, probably wreaking far more ecological disaster than would have otherwise happened.
