Well Scheer let me down .... it wasn't a real vote or law just a posturing by the Libs but Scheer got most of the Conservatives to vote for the Paris boondoggle.... hopefully the same virus that has infected Patrick Brown isn't spreading to the feds...

Cheryl Gallant Was The Only MP To Vote Against Paris Agreement Motion
I'll have you notice that Harper agreed to the same targets set out in the Paris accord. And Scheer opposes a carbon tax.
It is all politics but that vote was more a trap by the Libs to say they are all little Trumps (which is way better than little Trudeaus I would say). Right now I would say even the Lib lites in the Conservative party are way better than the best of the Libs, but now given some thought I am not sure how I would have played it. Free vote .... then those that opposed it would be instant media target, vote as a block for or against .... didn't matter the Libs had enough seats to pass anything they want ... and they are. Given some thought and where the Canadian media is aligned he may have just saved himself a weak spot for attack and an association with Trump... he may have also have ticked off support... but they wouldn't vote Liberal or NDP so it may have been a good move.
Ratifying that piece of **** and setting targets are two different things. One you are trying to accomplish something and the other you are getting scre***!
I would have loved to see them vote against it but given some thought that posturing by the Libs isn't a fight worth effort.
Of course the Conservatives would go with the Paris Accord - what this really means is the Carbon Tax within Canada. They stand to benefit from the Carbon tax if they come to power. This is what I expected from the Conservatives all along. This expectation is what I had formed from the Harper government...
And if the PCs come to power, my money is on Sheerer (and others who opposed it in the PC party in the past) changing face in regards to Carbon Tax and pushing it forward.
They're all phony.
No, not even close. Look at Harper and Trudeau,Quote:

Lied about Conservative policies, their budgets and spending before and after election.
I could go on and on...
There is a world of difference!

Here's an Idea....lets give up our energy sovereignty to the U.N. with no prior legislative process, transfer wealth to other nations while they continue their status quo and then burden private sectors while allowing corporate sectors proxy representation in order to protect their interest.
Oh, and then "fine" the naive countries billions, punish and tax their economy, then revisit the abortion all over again in 5 year intervals............
Damn, what a deal..............
Canada sent 383 people to the UN climate conference, more than Australia, the U.K. and U.S. togetherQuote:

That about sums it up ... though I wonder if they will make 500 next gold plated junket?
I am all for being a good steward of the planet.
However, I am not in favor of junk science geared toward obtaining grant funding and providing seemingly legitimate ways for the government to pizz more money away on carbon tax BS and underhanded backdoor schemes to fund third world banana republics.
