Harper chickens out of EU summit
One day after Angela Merkel and Tony Blair met up to announce climate change is “is the biggest challenge of the 21st century,” Stephen Harper backs out of a Canada-EU summit.
Word on the street was that his EU counterparts were waiting to give him a damn good verbal thrashing about abandoning the Kyoto agreement. When it reached our PM’s ears, he balked and gave Finnish Prime Minister Maati Vanhanen a call to say he wouldn’t be showing up. But old Steve’s still going to make it to those NATO meetings two days later. You know, in case they let him ride a jet or a tank or something.
Of course, the PMO is saying that the PM isn’t going because he has to spend more time in Canada, what with being a minority government and whatnot. It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that Harper hates being challenged. Nah, of course not. And it couldn’t possibly be related to specifications of the Clean Air Act; that there bit of legislation is tight. Air-tight. As in being tight on air; breathable air.
