John Baird is an Embarrassment in Bali

Baird is not the Minister of the Environment he is the Minister of kissing Bush’s butt! His performance in Bali and sheer ignorance on the issue of climate change is embarrassing to the country he represents. Baird only took the Environment portfolio because his riding is in Ottawa and the didn’t want to be heading the Treasury Board while the government was in collective bargaining with the public service’s largest union (not a good idea to tick off a large number of potential voters in a minority government). He doesn’t give two shakes about the environment and that attitude is coming out loud and clear at the Bali conference.

Only an idiot would put the economy (a man-made invention wholly unrelated to the survival of the species) ahead of the environment (essential to the survival of the species). Especially since leading economists in Britain say that being environmentally responsible is actually good for the economy.

    it's loudmouths like you that use complex issues and translate them into over simplified terms only to use them to bash people who are out there making a difference.

    these tendencies of yours relate to your past of being ignored or marginalized by your surroundings - ie: perhaps you were considered a geek in the past - perhaps you should consider contributing positive ideas rather than volleying meaningless insults toward those who are.

    by the way, kyoto is a euro created "stock exchange" to suck productive world dollars/credits into a polluted and unproductive europe. my question, is have you read it? you may learn something.

  2. Looks like Baird has one fan although he chose to remain anonymous.

    I find the psycho analysis of a total stranger as basis for your argument/personal attack quite amusing.

    Thanks for the morning laugh.
