RMR: Rick's Rant Harper Cuts Rockstar Scienctists
>> ^seltar:
I've seen one other, and it was equally bad with regards to the camera work. Just because he's done it before, doesn't make it ok
The rants are fine, don't get me wrong. But he could've done without the camera theatrics. >> ^notarobot:
>> ^seltar:
Oh camera man, that isn't how you're supposed to move a camera. You're being silly, camera man.
Methinks you are unfamiliar with the rants of Rick Mercer, no?
The quirky camera movements have been a signature of Mercer's two minute rants for more than a decade. I've always thought that the camera style to be fun way to add punctuation to his speech--but to each their own.
Among my favorites are rants about Toronto weather, and his quality "It Gets Better" rant on bullying.

Harper's Watergate moment? Frankly I doubt it- they've probably got so many layers of "plausible deniability" built into this thing, but this is the most disturbing story in Canadian politics in my lifetime.
Cheers.

>> ^SlipperyPete:
One of Mercer's better ones, of late.

Yeah, he's been on a bit of a dry spell but this one was badly needed. Since this was taped Vic Toews came out and acted surprised at some of what was in the bill that he himself sponsored... The guy needs to be run out of office as fast as possible, and that's coming from a Canadian who voted Conservative last time around. Not of any love for the Cons perhaps, but for want of a better alternative.

Yeah, people are making a really big deal of dropping out of it, and I understand wanting to participate in something that will help stop climate change, but if the targets are completely impossible to meet, then there is no point in participating.
There is an article here that says that meeting the requirements could cost $3500 per Canadian, or $30 billion, as a nation, to purchase emission credits.
The only industrial nations to come close to their targets have done it through changing their power generation to cleaner methods, but 70% of Canada's power generation is already "low-emission" and changing the others is almost out of the question at this time.
We should be making an effort to reduce emissions and help the environment, but sticking with an insane plan isn't going to help us get there.>> ^Sagemind:
I've heard all about this as a decision but have heard nothing about the reasoning behind it.
I did read one article that said the targets were so unreachable, we'd have to remove every moving vehicle from the road and go back to horse travel within one year to meet the standards or the penalties would be 14 billion dollars per year. But that's mostly hearsay - I haven't seen anything official.
