Reply #4: They don't care. They just want to win the next election and realized [View All]

after Dion was elected that the environment is a top issue in Canada. Now they have to convince their base to care. So they can win a majority. Which they will not win. Because the neocons in Canada are known for their lying and myth-making ways. They are also known for ripping up the Kyoto accord Canada did sign. The Conservatives just realized they were totally out of touch with Canadians and won the last election, with a minority, based mostly on how sick Canadians were of a scandal the Liberals were involved with. Simply put... the environment is now the biggest wedge issue and all the neocons in the country scramble to put themselves on the winning side of the issue. Harper put a neophyte environment minister in place and didn't allow her to talk publicly at first. Show how important that issues was to them until the Liberal Leadership Convention. Now he fires her (after controlling her completely..so really he should fire his own ass) and put some loud-mouth in her place. They are running around in circles and making deals with the NDP like crazy to try and erase their previous actions.
