Wake Up Canada

As you wake up, Canada, take note that George Monbiot of Britian's Guardian newspaper is telling the world that you are one of the greatest obstacles to dealing with climate change at Copenhagen this month. It's the tar sands, stupid, and the petrol lobby (hell, Shell has no morals) and the weak right-wing politicians in Calgary, Ottawa and elsewhere. As you wake up, Canada, your reputation as peacekeeping moral consciences known the world over for good governance and high morals is in tatters. Of course the right-wing bloggers the world over are all over Monbiot this day over here in the somewhat United Kingdom, but Blackheath Canuck (and many others, I might add) are reminding you that your rep is gone, thanks to Harper, thanks to Martin, thanks to Calgary Tories and silent majorities. Wake up, Canada and tell us that you are green, going to throw out the Tories and their petrol dollars from all your capitals and start taking climate change seriously, not just when it hits you personally. The flatearthers have had their day. Wake up, Canada.
