That in a nutshell is my beef with 99% of the alleged environmentalists I've met.
I've heard 80% of canadians want action on the environment.
I'd guess 90% of canadians dont' want any action to impact them
And Dion's NEP2 will only reinforce that. What could be better than a tax that may increase your heat bills a bit (in Ontario) but otherwise passes the cost on to rich oil companies in Alberta.
People can think they are doing something for the environment (they're not) without actually doing much (so not much pain) and everybody is happy. Except Alberta.
