You've been warned Alberta. Pay the price for Canada to make it's Kyoto commitments or there'll be consequences:
As I apply my ink stained fingers to the trusty keyboard, it's been more than 72 hours since Mark Holland, the Liberal Natural Resources critic, belched out the most threatening words I have heard in a political conversation in years.
[...] When I asked Holland whether a Liberal government under Stephane Dion would shut down or limit oil sands production if necessary to meet Kyoto targets, his response was, "Exactly." He then went on to say "I think what you are going to see is we're going to say you cannot exploit that resource, basically go in there and pump it out as fast as you can to give it to the Americans and sell out our national interests and blow apart our emissions targets."
I also heard that Dion is going to ban the use of small jet planes by individuals such as Al Gore, you know, since we're facing the end of the world and everyone -- great and small -- have to make sacrifices. Ha ha, just kidding: that would hurt Quebec, which isn't the point of the exercise.
