Environment Minister Even Calls that Planย โ€œCredibleโ€

Postmedia reporter Mike De Souza has an amusing story about outrage in the office of Canadian Environment Minister Peter Kent over coverage of a ministerial speech lastย week.

The Minister had told the Economic Club of Canada that โ€œCanada has a credible plan for addressing our environmental challenges.โ€ At the same time, his department was releasing a document with the graph at left, showing a vast gap between the governmentโ€™s stated emission reduction targets and the continuing rise of thoseย emissions.

De Souza gives the Ministerโ€™s office every chance to comment, clarify or correct his report. But at the end of the day, it sure looks like Canadaโ€™s plan is to blow off its commitments once again – woefully, just as everyone expected.
