However, in today's world, the past is seldom entirely forgotten. Given some of the other things that Harper has said on the topic of Kyoto and other issues over the years, I'd say his past utterances are more reflective of his beliefs than his actions in recent weeks.
Says PMSH:
"A real leader says he was wrong and says, 'I agree I was wrong and I changed my mind,'" he said.
Yes, Stephen, good leaders will admit that he made a mistake. So far, you haven't.
Perhaps in a real reflection of how empty the Conservative policy on the Environment is comes from some of the statements being made by CPC MPs:
Harper said Dion could call his dog "Clean Air," "Fiscal Imbalance," or even "The Sponsorship Scandal."
and just to reinforce the "message du jour" from the PMO:
Conservative MPs, meanwhile, when asked before question period about the letter, dismissed its importance and said they do not think much of Kyoto anyway.
"I hear it's a dog," Tory caucus whip Jay Hill said.
Saskatchewan MP Andrew Scheer said: "The Kyoto accord itself doesn't do a whole lot — as we've seen with the Liberal record — to reduce greenhouse gases.
"It's a trading system, a transfer of wealth from one part of the world to another."
Hmmm...sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Personally, I'd say the only thing green about Harper and his bunch is a reflection of recent polls showing that outside of Alberta they aren't exactly making inroads.
