Reply #6: I'm not saying that Harper is doing anything about it [View All]

[Telly Savalas]

I'm just pointing out that there is a growing public awareness in North America that climate change is a serious problem and something needs to be done. I certainly hope that Dion will actually do something about it, unlike his predecessors Harper and Martin. The cynic inside me says that the Liberals will regain power, hang onto it for a dozen years, then just as they're getting ready to do something about global warming, the public will have had enough of them and put the Tories back in. (i.e. the same shit that happened with the child care plan.)

But I really hope that Canada won't tolerate the Liberal Party's tendency to dick around and not do anything. Once Dion becomes Prime Minister after the next election, he'll have to take action or support will bleed to the NDP and perhaps the Greens. I think he knows this, and we'll probably see positive change.
