What Canadians do they talk to?

So, I tuned in to the House of Commons today and right into a discussion on a bill put forward by the Liberals (I think... it was one of the left wing parties) on Kyoto.

According to them, Canadians support the Kyoto protocol. They have submitted a bill that demands that Canada commit to Kyoto and report regularly on progress. I have to say, aside from the FAR left, anyone I talk to knows the Kyoto Protocol is not the way to go. It is merely a charity issue, not an environmental issue. Even those who support the global warming theory and believe the end is nigh, realize that Kyoto will not work and will have no effect on it. The NDP, the Bloc, and the Liberals are hanging their hats on Kyoto as an issue to challenge the Conservative government. It has been very difficult for the opposition parties because they could not fight the common sense the government has been practising. It is also difficult for them to point fingers at the government when so much has been accomplished in the first 6 months under Harper after years of inaction by the liberals.

So, the flopposition parties are hoping that this issue can be their big challenge. It is their political stand at the expense of Canada and millions of dollars - same old, same old.
