Richard Attenborough. David Suzuki. Al Gore. Tim Flannery. A vast army of scientists and observers all agree that the condition of The Earth and trends in climate change suggest that humanity is on a short and steady course towards self-destruction.
There is widespread agreement at this point. But there is no appropriate and effective strategic plan in place to stop the rapid destruction and erosion of the life giving environment on our planet.
Attenborough said, “Humanity has become a force of nature. What happens next really is up to us.” [The Truth About Global Warming. CBC-TV, January 1, 2007]
We need the right Plan. We need it now. We must implement it swiftly in Canada and provide example and leadership for all of the countries and peoples of the world, from which our people are derived.
Guelph can lead the way in finding solutions and implementing them. Liberal Leader Stephane Dion has The Plan for environmental healing in Canada. I want to work with him to implement it in a Liberal Government, just as I worked for him in his bid to become the Leader of The Liberal Party of Canada. His plan gives us hope. It needs to be implemented immediately.

I'm not likely to join the Liberal Party (or any other) but I plan on voting for the candidate with the most honest commitment to environmental activism. There is only one real issue for me from now until I die, this delusion we're all living has to be faced up to, and dealt with, and before it comes to ugliness, brutality and force of stringent law.
I hope Jerry's suggestive reference to "ugliness" isn't prophetic and that public debate and a healthy democratic process (yay John!) will prevail.
I encourage readers to invest a few mouse clicks in exploring this site and becoming advocates for a made-in-Canada solution to the significant issue of emissions from heavy-duty machines--especially trucks: http://www.westport.com/the_big_picture/index.php
Huge regards, John!
