Just so we’re all clear on this point, Line Beauchamp, the Environment Minister for Quebec, will be representing myself and the other Canadians at the Bali climate change conference next week. We’re also sending Prime Minister Harper, but he’s just there for comic effect. To be a portly Canadian Shriner in a fez tootling behind the American bandwagon on a pint-sized scooter, if you will. Don’t for god’s sake take anything he says seriously, especially if it’s regarding any issue with substantial consequence, such as global warming.
