To Pool or Pond and Canusa81 who were kind enough to show me the 'light' . . . or, sorry, I meant 'right'
in replying to my post (Lloyd Macilquham cicblog 10:45 AM on December 15, 2011)
in which I wrote:
"So, tell me, which is worse.

What the International Community thinks is important.
If you don't think the person making the comment quoted , "dishonest and cowardly", regarding Canada's withdrawing from Kyoto carries weight.
how about Desmond Tutu:
"Canada, you were once considered a leader on global issues like human rights and environmental protection. Today you’re home to polluting tar sands oil, speeding the dangerous effects of climate change. For us in Africa, climate change is a life and death issue. By dramatically increasing Canada’s global warming pollution, tar sands mining and drilling makes the problem worse, and exposes millions of Africans to more devastating drought and famine today and in the years to come. It’s time to draw the line. We call on Canada to change course and be a leader in clean energy and to support international action to reduce global warming pollution."

For more of what Mr. Tutu has to say:

Underlying these statements are, of course, the liabilities Canada may be attracting down the road for which our children and our children's children may be held to account. For example, International law suits that would make the Tobacco law suits look like small claims court; or, otherwise.
In which case, "a piece of s[redacted]t" may seem like an euphemism.
But then, Canusa81 your right (literally and figurative),

So, tell me, which is worse.
Trudeau calling Peter Kent a 'piece of sh**'
or, in the International community having the withdrawal from Kyoto called:
"dishonest and cowardly"
vis.:
"Eva Bulling-Schröter, head of the German parliament's environmental committee and a
member of the far-left Left Party, called the withdrawal "dishonest and cowardly."
Bulling-Schröter also accused Canada of using a "flimsy excuse" to shirk its climate
protection responsibilities."
