It's literally a Depression-causing (as in 1929) giveaway to aggressive totalitarian (yet "developing") People's Republic of China and polluters like India.
Our only hope is closer ties with the United States of America - and a Harper Conservative majority government which can creatively deal with the legal challenges as a result of Trudeau's "Charter of Wrongs" and the Kyoto economic disaster as it unfolds.
Thankfully we live next to the biggest economy on earth, a non-signatory to this disastrous "treaty" and with Harper's (and his inner sanctum's) intelligence, literally and figuratively speaking, we may be able to mitigate the coming Depression. Whether the Notwithstanding Clause is applicable or whether the threatened court challenges by enviro-Marxists (paid for by legal aid from the taxpayer$) will force compliance with Kyoto and bankrupt the nation, there is only one person I would choose to steer the good ship Canada away from the rocks and that is our current PM.
The next election will be a referendum on Kyoto and whether we leap off the cliff - or not.
"No responsible government could come close to reaching those targets without bankrupting the federal treasury. But in an effort to score political points, Liberal Leader Stephane Dion has stubbornly plodded ahead, smearing the gloss of virtue on this economic and political folly.
*
It's the impossible nightmare. Last May, after five years of Liberal inaction, the Conservative government conceded that the level of emissions in 2004 was 34.6 pr cent above Canada's Kyoto target.... Canada's emissions have since sailed even higher (probably by another 35%).*
Canada would have to go abroad to buy emissions credits or sponsor carbon-reduction initiatives in other countries. Most experts put the price tag for that splurge at a minimum of $10 billion. It could go far higher as the market gets tighter, squeezing federal funds for everything from health care to retraining programs.*
Mr. Dion has made a grave miscalculation. Both his party and the country could pay dearly for the mistake."(Toronto Globe and Mail Feb. 16, 2007)
