Al Gore says Tories' green plan a �fraud'
Former U.S. vice-president blasts Conservative environmental platform as 'complete and total fraud designed to mislead the Canadian public.'

TORONTO � Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore says the Conservatives' new environmental platform is a �complete and total fraud designed to mislead the Canadian public.�
He was presenting his documentary An Inconvenient Truth in Toronto Saturday at a consumer environmental show, with Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and environmentalist David Suzuki in attendance.
Mr. Gore praised Mr. Suzuki for confronting Environment Minister John Baird Friday, saying he saw the two exchange words on TV.
When Mr. Baird told Mr. Suzuki the Conservatives were going further than any other government in Canadian history, Mr. Suzuki said it wasn't enough.
Mr. Gore said the rest of the world looks to Canada for moral leadership, and that's why this week's announcement was so �shocking.�

I wonder what would be enough for comrade Suzuki.
"Moral leadership". Gore sure know how to pull at the ego of Canadians, eh? |
