Climate change in Canada: some ups, some downs

Some snippets from a recent Climate Action Network Canada newsletter:

• Manitoba has introduced legislation that, if passed, will oblige the province to meet Kyoto accord targets
• Youth activists and Raging Grannies protest Conservative party filibuster of the commons environment committee to stymie Jack Layton’s private member’s climate change bill
• An audit has revealed that University of Calgary “research” funds were used to fund Conservative attack ads against the liberals in various jurisdictions (including my hometown, Peterborough, where we now have a used car salesman as our Conservative MP)
