Wikistrat researcher Katherine Kokkinos was kind enough to help me out writing an article about Canada’s intention to withdraw from the Kyoto climate treaty at the Atlantic Sentinel.

As she points out, the country is sitting on an estimated 175 billion barrels of oil. “Canadian oil sands present huge economic opportunities.” I can’t blame the Harper Government for exploiting those opportunities instead of adhering to an emission standard that the world’s major polluters, China and the United States, have refused to commit to.
