Message: Toby Heaps On The Environment Change Aside from going outside the party and making Elizabeth May a Green Party Senator, then enticing her to be Environment Minister with carte blanche for pulling Canada’s green socks up, the PM made the best choice available today for Canada’s new Environment Minister. I don’t know newly minted Environment Minister John Baird that well to say if he has a burning desire to save Canada’s environment. But if the green will is there, I like the prospects of him finding a way to lift Canada out of our increasingly fossilized abyss for three reasons: *He is a pit bull. Digging Canada out of the doldrums is no task for a poodle, especially considering some of the entrenched interests and status quo proponents that will have to be scared off. *As the former Energy Minister of Ontario, he knows Energy, the biggest source of greenhouse gases by a large margin and will have a better chance at effectively navigating this political minefield. *He is a great communicator. Leading Canada into battle into the war on climate change is going to take someone who can rile up the troops and public opinion to mobilise individual and industry action. Now the big question is do the conservatives really believe it’s go green or go home (as in lose the next election)? If they do, then this could be an interesting next few months. www.corporateknightsforum.com
