Yea, I heard about the Premiers.

But I do have to wonder how much of this is also to gain leverage on other issues like medicare funding and getting their hands on the HUGE surpluses generated by the GST (which I think are much much bigger than is ever publicized). I know that if I was a Premier that's exactly what I would do.

At least we all agree that something needs to be done. Personally, I see value in using Kyoto as the vehicle, if only to be able to say accurately that in international affairs we mean what we say and we do what we mean. Of course the Premiers, and other entities too, need to be part of the solution process.

I've looke through our TV listings for a show regarding the costs of Kyoto but came up dry. My only hope is that it may be on CBC National some night and that I'll see it if some other show doesn't get my viewing.

cheers (I guess)

>I don't think a single person in Canada disagrees with the fact that something needs to be done. Even I agree with that! ;-) But I think the Premiers, don't like rags like Kyoto shoved down their throat so as to limit their right to speak up. Even our Premier agrees that something needs to be done, but why Kyoto? Why without talking to the Provinces? Communication and Diplomacy works better than a dictatorship. If you didn't communicate in your marriage, how long would it last? Marriages end, when communication ends. I guess the honeymoon is over!
