Peter Kent - you suck

This is Peter Kent. You probably don't recognize him, because he's the worst. The Canadian Environment Minister doesn't care about the environment. It's sad and dangerous.

Two days ago when pressured about whether Canada would be pulling out of the Kyoto agreement, Kent mutter something undecipherable then went on to say that Kyoto is the past and 'Copenhagen and Cancun are the future'. This was in reference to the climate summits that happened last year and the previous year, when we needed the world leaders to come to an agreement on what would be done to save the planet and stop climate change before it's too late. They did not come to a binding agreement, so when this fool says that 'the future' is 2 summits that
a) happened in the past, and
b) amounted to very little in terms of what countries must do to save the planet

I really wonder what future he's talking about. It is not one that I as a Canadian am willing to wait to see unfold. It's a terrifying future.

Get the conservatives and their money grubbing, Albertan tar sands out of here. Bring on Elizabeth May and her green party (read her take on the distortions Kent is spewing on the Kyoto agreement here). Bring on renewable energy, environment related jobs, and forcing people, companies and gov'ts to actually DO something about climate change right now.

Yes, China, India and Brazil need to do it too, but Canada be a leader for once.
