While it's discouraging and embarrassing to see that Canada is now seen as one of the last obstacles to serious action on climate change (even India is now on board) there is at least the possibility of one positive outcome of todays events. At least one Commonwealth delegate recognized and commented that Canada's position seems to be based on Harper's personal view. Hopefully Canadians who have been considering switching support to the Harper government in the next election will recognized that the current government makes policy decisions based on Harper's personal ideology and not what is in the best interests of the county. On the other hand now we're now going to have to endure more of Blair's blatherings on how the Harper regime is acting as a bridge between countries that signed on to Kyoto and major emitters like the United States, China, India and Australia.
On a brighter note, the David Suzuki Foundation has launched a Bali Blog. At least we'll be able to get a dose of reality in addition to the propaganda that Baird is sure to be spewing.
