Kyoto = Slowly freezing to death in the dark.
Kyoto has nothing to do with emissions. It's a tax on wealthy nations paid to poor nations.
Who says they aren't religious.
They are buying indulgences like were sold during Martin Luther's time.
Hey Canada, I have some emmission credits I'd be happy to sell you!!!!
Canada has a population of 30 million people - they will spend $10 billion or more per year - you do the math.
SUCKERS!
Those who vote for the libs ... yes.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Can you imagine how much it will costs this nation if ratified the Kyoto treaty??
That is right!! I hate Children.. I have them for breakfast everyday!!!
All kidding aside, I feel terribly for Canadians for having to put up with this nonsense.
I wonder if it's beginning to dawn on those suckers why we didn't agree to Kyoto?
That's why Canada sign onto Kyoto. In Canadian politics, you never, ever do something the way Anerica does it, regardless of cost. Canadian identity is to be not American. Kyoto will never, ever be rejected. People's emotions get in the way of their judgement on issues like this.
Sure, you're right. But the Canadians were so naive. Almost every signatory got some kind of concession or dodge to ease compliance, except Canada which so far as I can tell gets to pay full retail.
Naivete is a cultural trait of Canada as is subservience and timidity. But Canadians are more interested in APPEARING to make a difference in the world than actually doing it. That's why Canada is so gung-ho on UN peacekeeping. The can brag about belonging without having to spend the $$$ and lives to actually make a difference. Same with Kyoto. Canadians are hoping that it will eliminate CO2 without having to suffer lifestyle wise. They plan on buying emissions credits on the Chicago Climate Exchange using that $10 billion. www.chicagoclimatex.com (count on Americans to make a buck off of Canada's "moral values", haha)
Anyways, almost all gasoline taxes collected by the feds doesn't actually go to transportation spending, unlike the US. It goes into general fund. ($0.10/L + 7% GST or $0.31/Gallon US + 7% Goods and Services Tax)
They will probably call this scam, the enviromental tax before long.
In the trillions.
I believe in cleaner air and water, but this is not the answer...
I guess the good news is that Ontario's weather in future could be more like Mississippi's. They could rename it the Magnolia Province.
You mean piling $10 billion worth of paper emission credits on the alter of environmentalism won't stop global warming? Who knew?
I guess the good news is that Ontario's weather in future could be more like Mississippi's. They could rename it the Magnolia Province.
If that was true, then why would Canadians fight Global Warming? Canada has terribly cold weather. You have to experience it to really understand it. Canada is really a baffling place.
