"As we've said, Kyoto for Canada is in the past ... We are invoking our legal right to formally withdraw from Kyoto," he told reporters.

This is sad and shameful. Yet another reason for all Canadians to be embarrassed of our extreme right-wing government and that coward Harper. Canada used to be respected on the world stage. Now the rest of the world looks down upon us. The really sad part is that most Canadians are oblivious to the destruction of the values Canada used to live by and espouse.
Stephen Harper is a villan in the truest sense of the word.

Excuse me? I'm quite proud that our country finally stood up for itself and stated a (in the view of myself and many others) correct opinion for once. The liberals had our rights vanishing before our eyes, and were driving this country the exact opposite way Sir John A. Macdonald wanted. Not getting into a political discussion here, and I may not agree with every single Conservative viewpoint, but looking into the bleak future of the world, we're much better off with a leader who doesn't ignore our troops and take away our rights to personal self defense.
