I know, yet another post about the Tory government's lame climate plan but with such a string of eco-celebs in Toronto, how can we pass it up? I have already written tomorrow's headline " Daryl Hannah trashes Canadian Climate Plan at Green Living Show"
According to the Star's Kevin Donovan: The Conservative government has taken the easy route and produced an environmental plan that is a "complete and total fraud" on the Canadian public, former U.S. vice-president Al Gore told a Toronto audience yesterday.
"(Harper) is under a lot of pressure and he has chosen the easy wrong over the hard right," Gore thundered to applause from the packed crowd. Gore than lashed out at the federal conservatives for focusing on intensity of emissions rather than tough, overall reductions in the absolute amounts of pollution. ::The Star
