Talking green in both official languages

La pollution parle pas français, parle pas anglais

Denis Paradis and Stéphane Dion discuss environmental and language issues in this interview at the Brome Fair, August 2007:




In the French-language interview Dion briefly discusses issues such as the need for secondary and tertiary treatment of waste water, invasive species in waterways, species-at-risk and "intelligent" reforestation. The English-language interview discusses the next phase of Kyoto and international climate change agreements.

Nice opening footage of some Aberdeen Angus cattle for us country types ;-)

Great video.

If we can get Dion elected by December, he could attend the continuing talks on Kyoto in Bali from the 3rd to the 14th and reverse some of the damage done by Harper.

Yes, the sooner the better. There are too many big problems in the world - from climate change to war to human rights abuses to water security - to waste another year.
