Turning the Corner

When it comes to climate change, John Baird is not about to make promises he can’t keep. Or keep promises he once made.

Introducing the Liberal Party of Canada’s new candidate in Outremont:

John Baird, April 26, 2007. “Canada needs to do a U-Turn, because we are going in the wrong direction. Since the Liberals promised to reduce greenhouse gases in 1997, they have only gone up. Canadians want action, they want it now and our government is delivering. We are serving notice that beginning today, industry will need to make real reductions. In as little as three years, greenhouse gases could be going down, instead of up. After years of inaction, Canada now has one of the most aggressive plans to tackle greenhouse gases and air pollution in the world.”
