Harper: Won't meet Kyoto

In Europe today Stephen Harper said his government wouldn’t even try to meet Canada’s Kyoto obligations

Both events, although unrelated, were entirely predictable.

Harper, as former leader of the Canadian Alliance, former policy chief of the Reform Party, and as head of the right-wing National Citizens Coalition, has always fought against even recognizing climate change as a serious issue.
