"That, or British Columbians have finally remembered that BC Liberals aren’t actually synonymous with the federal party with which it somewhat awkwardly shares a name."

Thank-you for pointing this out. The BC Libs are much closer to Conservatives or Social Credit in policy/style than anything resembling the federal Liberals.

Wow, it does seem longer than 1 year. Much longer. Are the Cons getting the Oppostion flowers, or taking them out for dinner in celebration? They should consider it if they want the relationship to last another year :)

Kady, have you come up with a clever name for the new blog?

Polls, the quickest cure for election fever. Yet conversely, also the cause.

I am 25, I vote.

That being said, I think low young voter turn out might have something to do with the fact that politicians and policy makers do not give a F$#% about young voters. When was the last time an election campaign promised any thing for young voters. No politicians are about appealing to young voters with important issues (at least not in any meaningful way). Take, for example, youth unemployment, at its highest in years...but no, we are more concerned about those workers who have had long tenures, not those who are struggling to enter the work force. Or how about tuition fees, or the environment.....The list goes on. Baby boomers got plenty of social programs when they were growing up, and now that they are older they get upset at the thought of raising taxes to pay for some new ones. Stop being so selfish and realize that we need to make some decisions for the future, decisions that will benefit baby boomers too!

Yep, it does. That is a point of Denmark in December. Will we play a meaningful and positive role in this outcome. Probably not.

If the world was looking for examples of that they might just call you a leader. But, alas, we are talking about climate change.

Wow, that makes no sense on so many levels.

If we only contribute 2% then it should be easy for us to be leaders in fighting climate change. Your logic is a bit twisted.

"Hey, here’s a thought, minister: Why doesn’t Canada show China how it’s done, and tell the world about our “binding targets” and how we plan to achieve them?"

Well said Kady. Well said.

Our PM can't even show up. What a joke. Although I am not an Iggy fan, he has a point in those commercials about how this government has lost interest in Canada's role on the world stage. P-A Thetic

Seems like a totally reasonable response/position to me.
