- Canadian prof in China infuriates censors
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

Canada to seek climate deal with Obama

This sounds like a good news story but iin reallity the Canadian government wants to secure concessions for that massive greenhous gas emmitter called the tar sands. They want to play America’s energy security worries off of climate change to ensure that the growth of the oil sands can continue unabated under supposedly tighter carbon emmissions restrictions.
