BLOCKING PROGRESS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

Despite the scientific evidence, and an overwhelming consensus among Canadians that something must be done to slow global warming, the Harper government has been at the forefront of efforts to block and reverse progress in this area.

Climate Action Network named Canada the country most active in blocking, stalling or undermining the UN climate negotiations in Poland.

At the end of 2011 Canada became the first country to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol. A Montréal Gazette banner captured the international mood: “Kyoto rejection cements Canada’s rogue reputation.”


Canada has become the lead cheerleader for Big Oil and their neoconservative agenda.
