The Globe «s Jeffrey Simpson offers Canadian politicians plaudits
for the following good deeds: Ed Stelmach's decision to fund
research into carbon capture and storage; Dalton McGuinty's decision to protect the boreal forest (because «untouched forests are wonderful carbon sinks») and to sign on to the Western
Climate Initiative; Stephen Harper
for agreeing to pour money into Ontario infrastructure; and the premiers
for finally agreeing «that within one sovereign country, there ought to be as few
obstacles to the movement of people and capital as possible.»
