So the Conservatives won't admit they are opting out of Kyoto
their spin doctors want you to believe it is the fault of the previous government but....
wait a minute they are the previous government
Oh! What they mean is "They never signed the agreement"
The Liberals did.... that's true ... in 1998
What the Conservatives want you to believe is that the Liberals did nothing to enforce it..... That's also true
What they are not telling you is that....
Kyoto was signed in 1997 ... ratified in 2002 and came into force in 2005.....
OR THAT
"In adopting Kyoto, the previous Liberal government pledged that Canada would reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by six per cent below 1990 levels by the five-year commitment period of 2008 to 2012. Canada’s 2002 climate change plan committed the country to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 240 million tonnes a year by the end of 2012. It proposes a three-stage strategy to achieve that goal through a combination of incentives, regulations and tax measures."

As we Canadians know the Liberals were under constant fire at that time, then formed a minority government and were subsequently defeated by a minority Conservative Government in 2006. A government who pandered to the oil giants and had run on opting out of Kyoto to form an "Oil Industry sponsored air quality program"
They never intended to remain in Kyoto ....
Stop blaming someone else for your bad intentions PM Harper
As major players on the World stage Canada should lead by example......
What this Conservative Government is saying to the Children of Canada is "It's OK to be a quitter if you can't get your own way"
Take your ball and go home like a bunch of spoiled hateful brats
