Isolated Canada grudgingly accepts Bali deal
The Buzz from Bali.... Environment Minister John Baird caved to the pressure and manages to look like a goof to the rest of the world. It remains to be seen if Canada will make the effort required to honor the agreement. While Quebec heads down their own path, (as usual) the rest of Canada will have to follow suit, sooner or later. Perhaps we should start with the Mega-Polluting Alberta tar sands. If every province is held accountable, Alberta would be the first to squirm. How quick will they be willing to spend their wealth cleaning up the mess in their own province?
Quebec, after announcing that they will take an approach similar to California to reduce automobile emissions, are already being threatened by auto manufacturers that promise higher prices and reduced selection for conforming automobiles. GM, that can loose 39 BILLION in one quarter, might be wise to listen.... and produce a car in demand. Do ya think they've figured out they're making the wrong type of cars?
