#1 Well of course they do NOW. They are governed by the Conservatives. It was all good right up until about a year ago, though. No problems to report back then. They all started right when Harper took over.

#2 They appear to be upset that their little economy-bomb might hit the wrong target.

#3 Harper inherited this time bomb. He should withdraw / disavow it to save Canada.

#6 Canada is critical leverage for the argument that teh US is out of step with their allies/neighbors. Stick a fork in Kyoto, it's done. Even Blowhard Al can't revive it with his ridiculous "it could happen" movie

#7 Facts the media never tells you: number 4562

Canada is the biggest* per capita consumer of energy on the planet, by quite a large margin. Under Kyoto they have pulled even further ahead.

* Excepting a couple of Gulf statelets and Singapore which has a very high concentration of energy intensive industries. Link

And note that nobody seems to care about this. All they care about is 'respecting Kyoto'. Further proof that Kyoto has nothing to do with the climate and everything to do with tranzi politics.

#8 I agree. Canadians are wasting energy. Put on a sweater and send it south, where it will do more good.

#9 Well, some has to be first in per-capita consumption. We all can't be last, eh?
