New Skin for the Old Ceremony

I came across this today, which everyone who ever spoke out against Dion's Green Shift should have to read. Oopsie. Turns out the ever-popular cap and trade systems won't do much more than slow down our imminent arrival into a wall of fire. But really, didn't we all kind of suspect this already?
I am still convinced that these environmental initiatives can never come from a top-down approach, and must be initiated and developed at the grassroots level. Because the massive change that is inevitable to take place in any kind of real contribution to improving the future of our environment is going to mean complete lifestyle turn-arounds for the tenants living in this environment. No politician is ever elected on a platform of unfamiliar territory. It's time for Canadians to take ownership of this project because we will never let our leaders do it for us.

On a side note, it is with great interest I read that Mr. Guite will be released on Day Parole on February 15. With somewhat less interest, David Radler, Conrad Black's co-convicted, was released last month.
Oh to be a fly on the wall during those supervision meetings...
