    Canada's negotiators and Canadians in general are stunningly naive about the Kyoto protocol.

    Canada foolishly agreed to extremely harsh self-imposed economic sanctions in order to get friendly treatment from the media and the radical environmentalists that feed the media. The targets that Kyoto bureaucrats imposed on Canada simply cannot be met without cutting our economy in half by denying energy supplies to consumers and businesses.

    Unemployed Canadians freezing in the dark won't appreciate the Kyoto protocol too much, especially when they find out it has no scientific basis - just wild extrapolations of dissimilar data.

    Unemployed Canadians freezing in the dark will be downright pissed off when they realize that no one in Asia has to do a damn thing to comply with Kyoto - and they have a population 80 times the size of ours.

    And everyone was bitching at we Albertans when we opposed it because we said this was exactally the scenario. we even came up with our own plan to do the same thing for the environment, but without the harshness of Kyoto.

    I hate saying "I told you so" . . .oh, wait, no I don't.
