The Kyoto Scam

If anyone has any doubt how the Kyoto scam worked, then Canada's experience is worth noting.

The governing party received a political boost yesterday after Liberal MP John Godfrey raised a leaked report from the C.D. Howe Institute that he said shows that under the previous government, Canada was on its way to meeting 80 per cent of its targets by 2010, two years before the 2012 deadline.

Environment Minister Rona Ambrose responded by saying the report also found that the Liberal plan would have spent billions on purchasing credits overseas, doing little to reduce Canadian emissions.

"I am really glad that the Conservatives were elected so that we can make sure that the pipe-dream plan goes up in smoke," Ms. Ambrose said.

The transfer of billions of dollars in wealth from Canada to unnamed overseas countries when patients still wait in line for routine health care is obscene.
