I'm ashamed at how the Tories led by Stephen Harper are taking Canada's good name and dragging it through the mud!

[mystykit]

The only gas I'm concerned about is the hot air coming out of all these lying politicians' mouths. Until people wrest control of governments from global corporations, no agreement will help environment or people. All it will do is strengthen their control, ala WTO, etc. Same groups pushing all of these things.

[Emmisha]

Harper get out of the way!!!

Ron Paul is only at the grass roots level ..the media spam with the"top tier" radio spams "top tier" whos spaming and whos informing?

Why don´t you go put on your tin foil hat and play around with your 9-11 truther friends.

Let us grown men have a normal discussion here.

You´re the one spamming a global warming vid with Ron Paul. That´s why Ron Paul is one of the most hated candidates. Not because he´s so bad but because of his rabid spamming fanbase.

[jpbalkenende]

Canadian government, Howard, Shinzo Abe (that Japanese idiot that started denying WW2 atrocities), moronic Spanish and Italian governments that went along with Bush in 2003, Kazhinski idiots in Poland, Bush and not to forget those Islamic assholes. Now I know you´re going to start your little rant about Ron Paul but he´s a libertarian. Conservatives sometimes have some libertarian economic views but on a world stage all that I just named are conservatives.

[takotheoktopus]

With every step of mismanagement by Harper, it seems that he loses favour amongst the public. Sound familiar? Bush and Harper seem to be cut from the same cloth.

[jpbalkenende]

Well keep on doing the good work then!

[takotheoktopus]

I email a variety of members of Parliament every week on these issues and get the typical political B.S. I do everything I can personally to reduce my negative impact on this planet. Soon as we get Harper out of office, then maybe we will see our tarnished name brought back to polish.

[jpbalkenende]

You should be.. When is Canada going to clean up it's act? Australia recently did.
