The return of Minister Baird – Canada picks up where it left off with a Fossil of the Day Sweep on the opening day of the UN climate talks!
(Cancun) The Canadian Government, led by returning Environment Minister John Baird, has kicked of the UN climate talks in Cancun by winning an incredible first, second and third place Fossil of the Day awards! With three consecutive Colossal Fossil of the Year awards behind them, it seems this government is continuing its reckless approach to climate change in the hopes of setting even more fossil records.

Rick Mercer on the Senate's destruction of C-311:
"Most of us, we like to think about what's right, not what's legal; and if you're dealing with people who go through life and don't care about right or wrong, and don't care about democracy as we know it, and only care about what they can get away with, all the Reform in the world won't make a difference."
