When being a little frank is more than embarrassing!

(This is more methane laced cow dung being spouted by our sad excuse of a PM. How dare this poor excuse for a leader speak for all world leaders when he is clearly wrong? We are a little more frank about that? Does frank mean belligerent or embarrassed to admit our ignorance? Now that the US and Australia is finally coming around to tackle climate change (in the face of overwhelming evidence for a clear and present danger), Harper is feeling increasingly marginalized for his lone strategy of doing less than nothing. Harper knows that strategically Canada is a northern country and may 100 years from now, largely benefit from climate change just as the North West passage melts and opens up new transportation routes and resources (oil and gas mainly) to exploit. By then, there won't be much of a global economy left to tackle any environmental issue that threatens our collective security. But what about the mountains of cash that Harper has thrown away on the F-35 fighter jet and so many other pet projects that have gone bust? The economy is not there for itself, it is created to allow a country to function as the people see fit. Its getting to the point that our long term allies like Australia, the US, and EU will start to avoid our government officials as the rhetoric is simply false and more than a little embarrassing, or should I say frank?)

Ottawa Citizen article: June 10/14:

Harper says there’s not a country in the world that would take action on climate change at the expense of its own economy — no matter what it might say.
Canada wants to deal with climate change without crippling the economy, he said Monday at a news conference with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
“And, frankly, every single country in the world, this is their position,” Harper said.
“No country is going to undertake actions on climate change, no matter what they say … that is going to deliberately destroy jobs and growth in their country.
“We are just a little more frank about that, but that is the approach that every country is seeking.”
Abbott, who is in Ottawa on an official visit, said every country should do what it thinks is best to deal with climate change.
“We think that climate change is a significant problem. It’s not the only or even the most important that the world faces, but it is a significant problem,” he said.
“It’s important that every country should take the action that it thinks is best to reduce emissions, because we should rest lightly on the planet.”
Abbott added he is “encouraged” by regulations introduced in the United States last week to chop carbon emissions from U.S. power plants by 30 per cent by 2030.
Harper says Canada has actually done more to lower carbon emissions in its electricity sector than the U.S.
“The measures outlined by President Obama, as important as they are, do not go nearly as far in the electricity sector as the actions Canada has already taken ahead of the United States in that particular sector,” he said.
American approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, designed to move Alberta crude to the Gulf Coast, has been stalled in the U.S. while the Obama administration drops hints that Canada must do
