I am delighted to see that the Canadian House of Commons looks set to pass strict carbon emission targets, giving the country some clear and challenging targets to hit by 2020.
I have long failed to understand how a country with such environmental beauty and deep pride in its natural resources could possibly not embrace the need for climate change.
In fact, I expected Canada to go further and actually be the world leader in all things green...showcasing itself as not only passionate about protecting its land but also illustrating that it is possible to craft a viable economic benefit from green energy and sustainable business.
Canada clearly has the land to harness wind and solar energy, as evidenced by the 40Mw Sarnia solar farm development, but sadly it appears that until recently it did not have the will, political or otherwise. Hopefully now the 'Big Country' will show the world how it's done! Go Canada Go!
