Harper government taking credit where credit is not due.... Another FAIL for Harper

As the Harper government tries to take credit for reducing carbon emissions and complains about not wanting to do anything to stall the economy, they have sat back and cut much needed taxes that could have been used to restart an already stalled economy.

Any reduction in green house gases across Canada are the direct result of efforts by the Provinces with absolutely no input from the Federal government.

Tory MP Colin Carrie Put On Hot Seat After U.S.-China Climate Deal

When the United States and China announced an historic agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions last week, many said Canada would soon face increased pressure on the issue of climate change.

For years, Harper Conservatives have essentially argued that it makes little sense to take aggressive action if the world's top two polluters — China and the U.S. — aren't doing the same.

But the deal announced in Beijing by U.S. President Barack Obama is being called a game-changer. Under the agreement, the U.S. vows to double the annual rate it is reducing GHG emissions and, by 2025, slash emissions to 26 to 28 per cent below 2005 levels. In turn, China says 20 per cent of its energy will come from zero-emissions sources by 2030.
