Global or not....I don't like Americans coming to Canada telling us about our environmental plan, when they do more damage to the environment than Canada will in my lifetime.
Ironically....there was a thread not that long ago, where CP members said we should worry about Canada first, and not China. Shouldn't the same thing apply to Gore?

While I would agree with your sentiment, the U.S. has actually done a lot better job cleaning up a lot of it's air pollution than Canada. Not that they are anywhere near what Kyoto targets would be if they had decided to stay in the agreement, but even on their own they have brought down their air pollution levels more significan'ty that we have.
Canada's reputation of being green just isn't true anymore.
I do agree with you comments though. I don't really see the point of them pointing out other countries flaws when they don't even want to be part of the program.
Now Suzuki being Canadian, perhaps we should listen to him.
It's kind of funny how respected he is in other parts of the world, but here in Canada we tend to dismiss him sometimes because we see and hear him so much.
