Can't wait to see if Canada follows through with its Kyoto obligations and pays the requisite fines the treaty calls for.

Get out your checkbooks because the bill is in the mail.

   

Not entirely. Chicago's pollution ends up in Southern Ontario and Quebec, (and points south in the U.S.), but the Hamilton-Mississauga-Toronto pollution ends up in the Adirondacks and New England, (and points north in Canada), and on and on.

There's some industrial complex on the north shore of Lake Erie which is notorious for what its doing to the air in Buffalo.

(As if anyone would WANT to breathe the air in Buffalo... )

   

I'm going there in November to see a Bills game, glad I'm only there for a day

   

My point exactly...

   

No kidding. Kyoto is just a giant wealth re-distribution program. Industrialized countries have to pay poor countries money so that they (the industrialized countries) can pollute. The poorer countries, under no obligations from Kyoto, are free to take the money with a grin and continue burning coal for years to come. Sometimes people are just stupid. Rather than Kyoto we should have an efficiency plan because go figure, the more efficient a system, the less it pollutes and by extension, the more money you save/make due to cost reductions.

   

I think that report is bullshit, how are they creditable. they rank Mexico higher than Canada? please, mexico is a heap compared to Canada.

   

Have you ever been to Sudbury.

   

Why whats wrong with Buffalo?

   

Ahem, as a current resident and mining engineering student i take offense to that. Sudbury made mistakes in the past, back in the 1800's and early 1900's people didn't know what the effects of what they were doing. They killed just about every tree in the area and Sudbury was actually used as a training site for astronauts who were going to the moon. But recently Sudbury has changed it's ways, although pollution is still high (what do you expect with all the smelters running in this town) the trees are growing once again. Inco and Falconbridge as well as the municipality have been treating the soil and making it fertile once again. Sudbury is way better these days and saying that Sudbury is one of the reasons Canada was high among that list is just ignorant. There are way worst towns, hamilton, toronto, ajax... the list goes on

   

It died four decades ago and now has begun to smell bad.

   

Give a hoot, don't pollute!

   

I think Canadians just don't care...thats' why we're such bad polluters. We have such a big country and so few people we're used to sending garbage somewhere else and never seeing it again. Likewise for pollution; in Ontario we just burn on and hope the westerly winds take it to some magical spot and we never see it again. The whole out of sight, out of mind attitude. As for blaming our pollution problems on Americans, I don't buy that. I acknowledge SOME of it does come from major American cities, but why is it only central Canada and the Windsor-Montreal corridor that seem to have perpetual issues with pollution each and every year? Toronto alone had like 30 smog alert days this summer! Clearly, we shoulder some of the blame. That said, contrary to what David Suzuki fans may think, Kyoto will do nothing to curb global warming. Canada's pollution is only a portion and doesn't even compare to countries like Mexico, India, China, and central America.

   

Thats funny the Liberals were in charge than...some guy named Dion had an important role

   

I surprised myself to have read as much of that propaganda, presented as science. The math about forestry was so blatantly bogus.....then they got to GHG----Basically they are playing the percapita game meanwhile our worst smog days are clearer than Beiging/Shanghai's best.
The Suzuki Foundation should lose it's tax free statis for this bit of BS beside the obvious political statements by the Suzukster himself.
If he cut a hole in my wall, he would'nt get a 21 gun salute---but I would reload..... I have the power!
Now we must keep the CFBs out of our garbage because they contain mercury........
