The fact that Al Gore is an American has nothing to do with him calling out the tories on this one. Yes American's are responsible for contaminating the planet with more that GHG but, that still isn't a good excuse for Canadians who use the argument that at least we're not producing as much GHG as the Americans. Gore is simply expressing a view point that is shared by Suzuki and many other environmentalists. The tories plan is simply there to appear as if they're doing something about the problem, hopefully look good for the voters, while actually not doing much about the problem. The problem here isn't Gore, as an American slamming the tories on this issue, the problem here is the fraudulant plan.
