Canada: Don't Wait for U.S. to Fight Global Warming
Target: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper
Sponsored by: Care2
Canadian Minister of the Environment Jim Prentice told the House of Commons environment committee that he would wait to issue any regulations forcing industry to cut pollution until the United States announces their plans.
The animals and plants harmed by industrial pollution can't wait! While it's important to work with countries around the world to tackle the complex environmental problems facing our planet, it's also critical to not delay. Waiting for the U.S. to develop a plan that Canada can then copy will only intensify the threat of global warming.
Tell Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Canada needs to take action NOW to start cutting greenhouse gas emissions and other contributions to climate change!
As John Diefenbaker said "We shall be Canadians first, foremost, and always, and our policies will be decided in Canada and not dictated by any other country."

Harper's policies will only be dictated by another country when that voice is loud enough to drown out the corporations currently doing the dictating. The man is corrupt and hopeless.
But sure, I'll sign.

I agree RevMatt, but my little light of hope is that Harper is a populist, if enough people speak out he may act in his best political interest if not the country's.

Hi LBmuskoka,
As John Diefenbaker said "We shall be Canadians first, foremost, and always, and our policies will be decided in Canada and not dictated by any other country."
Was that before or after he scrapped the Arrow?
Grace and peace to you.
John
