“Canada is not going to be changing the number that it is promoting at this meeting.”

In an open meeting with the Canadian delegation at Copenhagen this morning, lead negotiator Michael Martin emphasized that Canada would not be budging from its current position throughout the conference.

“Canada is not going to be changing the number that it is promoting at this meeting," Martin told a small gathering of NGO observers and Canadian youth delegates this morning, before the opening ceremonies of the conference. 

"Fundamentally, we believe that what Canada is proposing to do is ambitious," Martin said, adding they are seeking an "integrated and aligned policy" with the United States.

Canada's current target, which has stayed the same for two and half years, is a 3% reduction by 2020 under 1990 levels.

Canada should withdraw its delegation from this nightmare. I don't want anyone over there trading away our individual and economic freedoms, national sovereignty to combat yet another non-existent hobglobin of the lunatic left.

The old reds that got scattered after the fall of Communism have regrouped as the new Greens and see this "crisis" as their ticket to one world global socialism from which there will be no escape.

I understand why the young are gullible enought to fall for this but anyone over the age of 30 has no excuse aside from willful ignorance.
