Gerretsen and Quebec Environment Minister Line Beauchamp held a joint news conference to say the two provinces -- home to two-thirds of Canadians -- will continue to work together to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. They also said the federal government's targets are weak.
The Conservatives have worked hard to unify this country, and then LIBERAL idiots do their best to make every single Albertan remember the NEP. You jug-heads! You suck-ups! You typical liberals who want to be loved by the oh so classy Euro crowd, while forgetting that Alberta, Newfoundland, and Saskatchewan support your sorry asses.
Ontario has yet to close down their coal fired energy plants, but Alberta is the problem? Thank goodness I know that many Ontario residents do not agree with their politicians. These politicians will pay come election day. Liberals are so out of touch with the feelings of voters, they think their elitist opinions are actually main stream. That is why they only hold Toronto and Montreal, they forget about the rest of us peons out here freezing in the west. They listen to the Toronto media and think they are still relevant. These little people are about to meet real Canadians, who have a much better grasp of reality than they do. It's time for tea parties in Canada.
An interesting addition is the calculation of per capita amounts. This is particularly interesting when one considers how rapidly Alberta's population has grown. If one simply takes the totals of $243 billion and divides by Alberta's population of roughly 3.2 million people, one would be severely understating the damage to your average Albertan. The average Albertan has contributed $105,405 since 1961 without getting anything in return.
I am streaming mad! You Liberal jerks are doing everything you can to tear Canada apart. You have just re-ignited the whole the west wants in issue. You suck holes! How can you go to Copenhagen and bash our province, and think that we are going to just take it? Do you have any idea of how much we give to you? Look at these facts....
Federal Support to Newfoundland and Labrador....2,389
Federal Support to Prince Edward Island.........4,159
Federal Support to Nova Scotia..................3,023
Federal Support to New Brunswick................3,539
Federal Support to Quebec.......................2,263
Federal Support to Ontario......................1,220
Federal Support to Manitoba.....................2,929
Federal Support to Saskatchewan.................1,397
Federal Support to Alberta...................... 987
Federal Support to British Columbia.............1,213
Federal Support to the Yukon...................21,873
Federal Support to the Northwest Territories...22,797
Federal Support to Nunavut.....................35,586
Let's look at provincial DEBT, Alberta, the Yukon and the Northwest territories have none. Quebec is a whole different story.
So, debt ridden Quebec and Ontario, go to Copenhagen and slam Alberta to make themselves look good. I say Alberta should shut off the taps. China wants our oil, I guess the east wants Saudi blood oil instead.
Noting the negative attention Canada has received from environmental groups at the conference, Gerretsen echoed Toronto Mayor David Miller's comments from earlier in the week. "It can be an embarrassment to us," Mr. Gerretsen said. "We would much rather be seen as the consensus-builders, as we have often have been at these international conferences."
Consensus build this you ahole...You shut down your coal plants in Ontario and Alberta will shut down the oil sands, see how quickly you will be begging us to restart production. Get a bird killing wind turbine in your back yard and see how expensive and inefficient they are. Drive a hybrid, what are you going to do with the dead battery? Light your house with those squiggly dim light bulbs, that contain mercury. Idiots!
What happens if our western farmers, who are under the control of the Canadian Wheat Board, all switch to corn for ethanol. No wheat for the CWB to sell, no food for the poor, only fuel for our cars.
I can't remember ever being this ticked off. The NEP was bad enough, but for two LIBERAL provinces to turn their backs on Alberta, to gain global approval while they are dependent on Alberta for their very survival makes me sick!

I share your frustration, but I am trying to express it through an alternate medium.
Your frustration has adequate justification. The Climate Clowns are certifiably bananas.
"The Conservatives have worked hard to unify this country..."
Have you been sniffing the sour gas out there? What planet are you on? The Conservative (a MINORITY GOVERNMENT) have done everything legal (and some borderline) to screw Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Get over yourself!
As one shamed Ontario resident, I see your cause for calling bullshit on this. I only hope that I am not a minority.
I think that it's part and parcel of the current strategy of trying to ignite the East Vs. West anger. If the East votes in a block, they vote in the Liberals and then we have real problems.
They're desperate and really need to be in control of Canada's tax money so that they can steal enough to maintain their broke party.
Maybe they should refuse all equalization money.
Quite frankly as an Ontario tax payer I get the feeling that most people here have had enough of the Dalton gang. I personally hope the liberals get wiped off the face of Ontario in the next election.
I love when people point to government web pages as "facts". Facts from the Stephen Harper Taxpayer Funded Transparent, Accountable Credibility Machine? HaHaHaHaHa! Those days are gone Huntsy, solid gone.
Don't let that put a damper on your "streaming mad" little temper tantrum.
I guess that the "West Wants In" is still a phrase of longing.
EsQue just can't imagine Alberta leaving confederation before PQ. Yes "we" need to get over ourselves and just leave. BTW - blood oil burns differently than good old fashioned "green" burning Alberta Natural Gas. "... Freeze in the Dark"
An example of what is in store for the idiots that want us to shut down our oilsands.
Confederations Bridge has been closed to trucks for two days. Grocery shelves are almost empty.
Funny thing, trucks use oil and gas, and must travel on roads and carry all that stuff you buy in stores.
Funny thing about those that do purchasing for stores, they cut inventory costs by only buying on an as needed basis.
Most do not allow for disasters of any kind.
Hunter, great post and I agree with everything you say. I would like to see the taps going east get turned off, and wish we could stop all equalization payments.
Wonder how much AB money was used to send those AB dissers to Denmark.
The only people that are going to pay for the fraud they call global warming are the working class and the poor. The rich are still going to travel by air , sail in their yachts, race around in their 1000 gal. an hour speedboats. The only difference is they'll have it all to themselves. Private sector trade unions should be screaming out in protest against this scam, but instead they're are being led by the left wing crazies. When a person finds that his paycheck is going to just cover his heat and hydro bills it will be too late to do anything.
Looks like those doomsayers in Denmark will agree to try and get an agreement in 6 yrs.
That will give Canadian voters a chance to get rid of Dalton and every liberal government in Canada. And conservatives are at 50% in Manitoba so NDP might be a dodo thing.
Time to get out of the UN and save a lot of money.
Oakville resident, the looney left don't speak for me.
Don't blame Ontario or QC the left are losing control and they are grasping at straws trying to retain power.
Have-not QC is losing influence in the HOC with only 75 seats. In 2014 we will have an addition 35+ seats outside of Quebec. Only 416 is barely holding onto the Liberal party.
Our liberal media in Toronto is trying to hold back the blue tide but will not be able to stop it indefinately.
The HST backlash for the Liberals in BC and Ontario will spill over into the new Green Tax being negotiated in COP15.
Let's hope the US continues to do nothing on Kyoto. We can outlast the US China bait and switch game.
Our position rests on the US passing the regulations at home through congress and senate. (Anyone see the US voter support for more tax and wealth distribution?)
China is leading the developing countries to ask for more money from the west and reducing their own efforts. (The US won't give in to China and cripple their own coal industry)
Ahhh, yes. Those “classy Euro’s”
Thinking of “them” brings back those old memories of the First World War, the Second World War, the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, the Gulags, the Ukrainian Famine and the list just goes on and on and on.
A special mention must be made about the Berlin Wall, you know, the wall with all the dead, shot up bodies snagged up in the razor wire. “Classy Euro’s” indeed! The reason it needs a special mention is because it’s very similar to what the Leftist Neo-Supremacist Fascista’s would love to build around everyone’s lives. Everyone’s but theirs, of course. As they say “Environmentalism, it’s the New Eugenics”
Then we have the little boot licking, world class wannabee’s from Ontario and Quebec. There they are, crawling on their knee’s to show how much they worship the new Fascist Ideology of Environmentalism. All hoping that they will not be fed into the Green Gulag and come out the other end as “feed pellets”. But, unfortunately for them, the true believers always end up being the first one’s to be ground up. Kind of like that famous video of Saddam Hussein in the auditorium with his top supporters and backers, where he started randomly calling names of people to stand up, then they were lead away, never to be seen again. It’s all about keeping the minions in line.
Yup, revolutions are fun that way!
The muscle flexing, koolaid-drinking Liberal governments in Ontario and Quebec have one reason and one reason only for their position, THEY BET THE FARM ON THE NOISY EnvironMENTAL crap!
They have spent billions of tax payer dollars to build Utopia and Utopia is a scam! It's about money, it's only ever been about money!
So that is it, plain and simple. The IDIOTS refuse to accept, they ARE IDIOTS!
Russ Campbell puts it this way:
'...Ontario Environment Minister John Gerretsen and Quebec Environment Minister Line Beauchamp seem quite prepared for Canada to carry higher emission-reduction burdens for China, India, Brazil and the rest of the so-called G77 developing nations, but not for their fellow Canadians in Western Canada. Shameful!..''
Short Russ C,
Quebec and Ontario are prepared to do for China, India and 75 other countries,
what they refuse to do for their own country.
(sigh)
If the oilsands are causing warming and an end of the world, why is AB in such a deep freeze. Are we agin being generous and sending all that warmth east.
Global warming has been stopped in its tracks, accept that fact and all you envirowackos can take credit (not money) for that. Think of the presige and press coverage you could get. sarc off
Get over to Sort of Political and watch the video.
We need a government in Alberta that will have the balls to turn off the cash supply or impose a fine whenever another province tries this crap . If Stelmach said , " ok Stephen , I'm fining you 40 million for mayor Miller mouthing off about us , what you do without it is up to you ". Might give a few folks a bit of pause for thought .
Good one Hunter. It is good to let off steam and you have every right to be pissed off with ONT and PQ. Both provinces are full of mooching Liberal scum. Mayor Miller has been shooting off his mouth in Copenhagen but he does not speak for a great many of us in Ontario. Miller and McGuinty are the worst of the worst and are the prime causes for the downfall of Ontario economically.
