Canada's image lies in tatters.

The Guardian (UK) ^ | November 30, 2009 | George Monbiot

[caveat emptor]

When you think of Canada, which qualities come to mind? The world's peacekeeper, the friendly nation, a liberal counterweight to the harsher pieties of its southern neighbour, decent, civilised, fair, well-governed? Think again. This country's government is now behaving with all the sophistication of a chimpanzee's tea party. So amazingly destructive has Canada become, and so insistent have my Canadian friends been that I weigh into this fight, that I've broken my self-imposed ban on flying and come to Toronto.

Until now I believed that the nation that has done most to sabotage a new climate change agreement was the United States. I was wrong. The real villain is Canada. Unless we can stop it, the harm done by Canada in December 2009 will outweigh a century of good works....Canada now threatens the wellbeing of the world....The tar barons have held the nation to ransom. This thuggish petro-state is today the greatest obstacle to a deal in Copenhagen.

Go Canada. Thanks to Mark Steyn for this one.

Anything that pisses Monbiot off, I’m for. My congratulations, Canada!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

“The Guardian (UK)” .... “by George Monbiot”

No need to read any further. I’d rather impale my eyes with rusty nails.

Canada is probably the least offensive country on earth. What set this loon off? Oh, I guess it must be their conservative govt.

[Former Proud Canadian]

I haven’t been this proud of my country in 50 years. GO CANADA. GO HARPER.

Canada's image lies in tatters

And, of course, "image" is much more important than reality to the idiot Left. Ask 0bama!

[Buckeye McFrog]

it’s that they won’t commit fiscal suicide by shutting-down their oil industry for the sake of a global climate deal

“The world’s peacekeeper, the friendly nation, a liberal counterweight to the harsher pieties of its southern neighbour, decent, civilised, fair, well-governed?”

Nope, never thought of Canada as any of those.

[Scotsman will be Free]

Another scum from the UK whining about his betters. Glad he’s the brits’s problem and not ours.

[colorado tanker]

Read the emails, Moonbat. Canada isn't endangering anyone. It's the science fraud you believe in that endangers our economy.

[Buckeye McFrog]

if I had a link to video of Sunday’s Grey Cup I’d post it here. Four guys did an absolutely beautiful acapella version of Oh Canada.

[Doomonyou]

Right up there with Tigers woods image.

[chris_bdba]

Apparently the leftis doing all they can to overlook the fact that the global climate change facts just aren’t and were being manipulated? Do they realize hw stupid they look in insisting that it is fake but acurate?

[coydog]

P!$$ off and go away, Monbiot.

[Candor7]

Congratulations Canada. .You have canned the enviro religion and have decided to protect Canada’s industries.

And what if there is a mess, in the tar sands area? Take a look at the area concerned comapared to the rest of Canada that is completely pristine. That will give one an accurate picture of proportion.The area cooncerned is a dot in the rest of the countries pristine resources.And no talk from him on startegic importance of oil? OOoooops? Did he just leave it out?

I love to hear enviroweenies whine in the morning.

[sionnsar]

GO CANADA.

He could have just sent an email.

[oyez]

It is now clear that Canada will refuse to be sanctioned for abandoning its legal obligations.

I'd say Canada is on the path to wisdom.
