Canada is risking its image and its friends

A few days ago I wrote to the Canadian High Commissioner in London to berate his country for the climate destruction it is causing, and the diplomatic negotiations it risks derailing, with its continued production of oil tar sands. Now George Monbiot has broken his self-imposed flying ban to go to Canada and add his voice to the protests. Canada is in serious danger of destroying its image as a guardian of civilised, progressive values. And of losing its friends. See here for a video about tar sands on the Greenpeace website and for ways you can protest.
