Re: Canada passes Kyoto: Election coming?
[ QUOTE ]
Kyoto was passed by the opposition today. Trying to meet Kyoto's demands at this point is blatantly irrational- so this probably means they're fishing for an election ASAP.
Is Harper going to call it, or stall it?

I don't know what the [censored] is going on in this country any more. Last I heard Harper was hinting that the government would just ignore the bill. Even if it becomes passed into law. Despite the fact that pretty much everyone agrees this is illegal, I'm almost convinced this is a ploy to try and get the opposition to pass a non-confidence motion and force an election. I think in Harper's mind this will score points with the voters.
I'm even more confused as to what the Liberals are trying to achieve, if they win this election are they actually going to try and ratify Kyoto? Isn't that like.. impossible at this point without shutting down large sectors of the economy. I don't really have the facts in this case to be honest but I thought we were passed the point where it was even possible to met the Kyoto targets.
