So if Canada wants to reach a 74% reduction in personal CO2 emmissions, that puts the burden on consumers, who only have a 23% contribution to the total CO2 emmissions, I guess they will have to ban everything but exhaling. Expect Canada to become a worse and worse place to live.

Kyoto = Slowly freezing to death in the dark.

[Semper Paratus]

it does not specify how much of that will be obtained by cutting actual pollution and how much by purchasing emissions credits from poor countries

Kyoto has nothing to do with emissions. It's a tax on wealthy nations paid to poor nations.

Canada has a population of 30 million people - they will spend $10 billion or more per year - you do the math.

SUCKERS!

Smoke and mirrors. The Liberals have low-balled the true costs of implementing Canada's Kyoto obligations. With some emissions trading credits.... the whole thing's a scam. No one really thinks Canada can seriously cut pollution levels down to what they were in 1990 without tanking the economy. And if it ever gets to the point where Canada actually has to meet the limits through energy reductions, I expect the Liberals to withdraw the country from the treaty well before then.

Can you imagine how much it will costs this nation if ratified the Kyoto treaty??

[denydenydeny]

All kidding aside, I feel terribly for Canadians for having to put up with this nonsense.

[colorado tanker]

I wonder if it's beginning to dawn on those suckers why we didn't agree to Kyoto?

[John Lenin]

Is it warming, or cooling ?

[Dog Gone]

I'm turning 180 degrees on my feeling aboot Canada. They are an up close laboratory experiment which shows what would happen if the Democrats ruled our country. We get to see what happens without the pain.

Canada is doing us a great favor. Thanks, eh?

Does anyone find it odd that a cold weather country like Canada cares about "Global Warming"? Just go to Arizona or Florida in the wintertime they are full of Canadians escaping the deep freeze.

Also Canadians use more fuel per person than Americans because of the long cold winters. So if "Global Warming" is real and caused by mans Co2 (I doubt it) the warmer winters in Canada will reduce the amount fuel burned for heating. This will reduce man made Co2 output. So "Global Warming" is self correcting.

The Kyoto framework is not about reducing global Co2 output. It is a trading system that allows industrialized countries to "buy" emissions credits from third world countries. The effect is a global welfare system under the guise of stopping "Global Warming".

Suckers!

Oh, can, uh, duh. Do you like your Liberals now?
