It seems today that Stephane Dion has decided to step down. The one thing that seemed to really destroy the Liberals out of the gate was their Green Shift programme. It seems that Canadians really talk a good game about the environment but are not prepared to actually do anything!
I think that people would go along if; (1) There was absolutely no change in their lifestyle and (2) it won't cost them a penny. Why - because fundamentally we are a selfish people. You have to look at all the SUV's - no-one needs an SUV. A mini-van would be more suited to the tasks which most use them for. We still have drive-though restaurants.
That's Canada in a nutshell - talk big and no action.
