The rogue greenhouse gas emission country
China? Russia? India? The United States? No, it’s Canada-
Canada’s image lies in tatters. It is now to climate what Japan is to whaling. The tar barons have held the nation to ransom. This thuggish petro-state is today the greatest obstacle to a deal in Copenhagen. George Monbiot. U.K. Guardian.
We have posted several articles on oil sands development. It is said to be the single biggest greenhouse gas polluter on the planet.

Mr. Monbiot presents a compelling and damning case, pulling down the facade of Canada’s benign appearance. I’m surprised he was even allowed to enter Canada through Customs in Toronto, given Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman’s recent experience, http://www.democracynow.org/2009/11/30/amy_goodman_detained_at_canadian_border
in trying to enter at Vancouver last week.
Mr. Stephen Harper has protected and enriched his handlers and the Landed Nobility, but he’s been a disaster for the country as a whole.
We’re also the most wasteful per capita. It’s embarrassing.
