Throne Speech 1.0

Posted by calvin at 07:43 PM ET

"Canada's emissions cannot be brought to the level required under the Kyoto Protocol."
Tough on crime, but apparently not tough on white collar crime.

He also said that Canada is over the Kyoto goals by 33% and that the Kyoto accord comes into place in 2008 - just 77 days away. If that's true, then it does seem impossible for Canada's emissions to "be brought to the level required under the Kyoto Protocol."

Canada isn't known for being tough on white collar crime. Last month Canadian Business published an article entitled A good country for crooks: Canada's losing war against white-collar crime which was based on an interview John Gray conducted with a couple former members of the RCMP Integrated Market Enforcement Teams. According to one of the interviewees:

"Canadians believe this Pablum we are fed that we have a trade surplus and our economy is doing great, but it's doing well because the world wants our raw materials. Where is the investment in research and development, biotech, manufacturing and other things that make a diversified economy? What happens when the commodity boom starts to bust?"
