Conservative subservience to tar sands preventing real action on climate change

Conservative subservience to tar sands preventing real action on climate change

>>Harper’s throne speech lip service to Canada’s renewed internationalism
>>17 October 2007

>>Edmonton, Canada — Greenpeace activists were unimpressed by the government paying lip service to climate change during the throne speech on Tuesday night, and are calling for renewed commitments — and a concrete plan — to meet international obligations.

Please check out this article. ... Yup, canada hasn't signed Kyoto. .Why??? .. We know the answer. ... But dont want to face it.

This is the bear that is on the back of my bike, you might remember him from going across western canada in the Spring. He is now disovering Ireland, and seeing what ireland is doing aout climate change.

He can't do this alone, he's looking for as much support as possable.
He is Hosting "A Virtual Bike Around Ireland -For WWF Canada"
It's a facebook event which requires participation by simply forwarding and sharing information with others.
The more we are aware of what's going on, the better we can work to deal with climate change.

Berlin was named in Berlin (by my niece). .. He now has a new sweater, as it;s geting colder. .. but is still canadian, (with his canadian flag on the sweater)

Follow him on his adventure. ..
