Blame Canada!

"The world’s second-largest country (after Russia) even traces its origins to a British business monopoly: the Hudson Bay Company, which set up the dismal pattern that persists today by emptying the nation’s forests and rivers of furs to feed Europe’s luxury hat market. Next came dried and salted cod, which cheaply fed slave plantations in the Caribbean and the American South. Then came trees. At one point Canada pulped 90 percent of the world’s newsprint (and polluted most of the nation’s major waterways in the process). It also dug up the uranium employed in the world’s first atomic bombs. Now it’s bitumen."

"Back when Canada was governed by the Liberal Party, it ratified the Kyoto Protocol and agreed to cut emissions by 6 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. But since the election of Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2006, his conservative government has walked back from that commitment, arguing that those cuts are unattainable."

I'm trying to figure out this post. Are you actually trashing a conservative policy or are you just rubbing salt in a wound?
