I have it in writing from Ed Stelmach’s Communications Director (when he was running for Leader) that the ethanol fuel program was intended as a an “indirect subsidy for farmers”.

Alberta has had a program to pay farmers for “reduced tillage” going back five years. Why go back if you want to reduce emmissions now?

Federal Ministers refuse to discuss what the various programs cost in terms of dollars per tonne of emission reduction. Why?

Mark Holland (Liberal MP) said on a Calgary Radio Program “We may have to take control of the Oil Sands so we don’t blow the Kyoto objectives.” So is the goal to reduce emmissions or to “take control”.

The Montreal Economic Institute asked Mr. Dion, in writing, twice, why he continued to send the Michael Mann “hockey stick” out to schools as if it were meaningful information after it was discredited and withdrawn. Mr. Dion declined to answer.

The only thing that has been achieved so far is more government, and more control, and indoctrination of children.

Lawrence Solomon quoted in a recent FP column about a woman who graduated with Masters Degree in Environmental Engineering, and was outraged because she then learned that there is controversy about climate change, but had never heard of it in University. Wonder why? Gee!
