Boliden closing in on deal for Lundin’s European mines
A deal would cement Boliden’s position as one of Europe’s biggest producers of zinc.
David Suzuki Foundation says Quebec, Ontario and B.C are “very good” regarding climate initiatives while Alberta and Saskatchewan rank as “worst”.
On Wednesday the foundation released All Over the Map 2012: A Comparison of Provincial Climate Change Plans.
“In the absence of significant national policies to combat climate change, some provinces are stepping in with their own plans and policies. But those plans vary widely . . .” writes the report authors.
Since a previous study by the foundation, Ontario’s rankings have risen due to clean energy initiatives and closing coal-fired power plants.
“Although B.C. still ranked among the top provinces, its rating went down, in part because of a failure to follow through on its ambitious climate change action plan and address emissions from oil and gas companies, including the proposed expansion and development of the shale gas industry.”
Alberta and Saskatchewan were put at the bottom of the list due to reliance on oil and gas.

Common distractions like chatting on the phone or looking for the CD you want to load on your music player can result to some serious traffic violation or accident. All of these stems from a young driver’s inexperience; and the reason why it is a challenge to look for cheap young driver car insurance.

Well there is no need of any great expense for Canada because we don’t produce enough to ever worry about it and if we had some elected officals that had any Brians and Guts they would tell David Suzuki he is being rediculas to even mention Canada.
If you take the cubic air mass that is over Canada and divide it by the Canadian population your Ratio would be so small when you compare the Ratios of USA, China, India, Germany, France, BRITIAN, MEXICO, ARGINTINA AND OTHERS THAT DAVID SUZUKI WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT CANADA AGAIN.
NOT to mention all the Mines and the Tar Sands Equipment are all modern day Clean Diesel operating equipment, along with canadian Cars and majority of Home furnaces burning Natural Gas, we have ne reason to have Carbon Taxes, nor environment taxes in Canada..
But when you elect Gutless people that can not think for themselves but instead are Brain washed by the media who are a front for the Government to collect more tax and fees from us to feed thier ever growing Fat paychecks, people like David Susuki will put most of us Canadians in the poor house or no house.
David Susuki along with the other Save the Planet Groups like Western Canada Wilderness Group are Economical Terrorists who have succeeded in costing Canadians lost jobs and higher gas, diesel, Electricity,Paint, and many other regulations that are breaking this Country. Thank goodness we have Stephan Harper as Prime Minister or we would be a lot worst off but here in BC we are hurting bad with the Carbon Tax.
