'No Environment Minister' Rona Ambrose
'No Environment Minister' Rona Ambrose, who is representing the Government of Canada at the environment conference in Kenya made a complete fool of herself in front of the entire world, to the point I felt embarrassed for her and our country. Ambrose, whose speech contained obvious references to petty domestic politics blaming the previous Liberal government for our environment inaction, hung herself out to dry at an international conference for all to see.
Why would the international conference participants care about who governed this country in 2005? Attendees were focused on the environment and what each of the representative countries were doing about global warming. In Canada's case, nothing is being done, save and except for the proposed useless Clean Air Act.
I was tempted to suggest that the government get rid of 'No Environment Minister' Ambrose and replace her with someone more competent. But, then I remembered that 'No Environment Minister' Ambrose's 'no environment' position is also the 'no environment' position of our government, which by the way, is a near template of the White House 'no environment' policy.
