True, but it's not one of those deals that completely falls apart if not everyone signs on. Even if the big polluters take awhile, having the small polluters on board probably buys us a few years.
I'm glad for the election, whatever the reason. The man running the country is an embarrassment, and I'll be glad to see him gone.
But he's not just being forced out because of Kyoto -- he's being forced out because the government passed a law, and he's decided he's going to use a loophole in the constitution to ignore it, the will of the elected representatives, and the feelings of the Canadian people.
This heavyhanded style is typical of him. He's ordered the bureaucracy not to talk about anything until they clear it with him personally, and he's manipulated every loophole he can find to extend his power and push his agenda.
