Canadian Government Slights UN Audience

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tuesday December 11, 2007
NUSA DUA, INDONESIA-

A United Nations audience was left in a lurch during a Tuesday evening event hosted by the Canadian government at the ongoing UN climate talks in Bali, Indonesia.

Youth delegates joined a large audience anxiously awaiting the Minister of the Environment’s address on the Canadian climate change plan. To the dismay of all in attendance, no delegates from Canada’s government came to present the policy, and the audience was instead left to listen as Canadian industry representatives showcased new “clean” technologies.

The audience was only informed during the event that the Minister would not be speaking about his highly touted ‘Turning the Corner’ plan. “The side event was publicized as being a presentation of their policies, but nobody talked about this at all. Not the Minister or a representative,” said Genevieve Gilbert, 22 from Ottawa.

The industry panel presenters were forced to field questions, and had to attempt to explain the Ministers’ absence. One presenter later expressed that he “felt hung out to dry.”

According to Adrianna Hoogenboom, 23, from Ottawa, “Baird arrived in flip flops, surveyed the room quickly and left after his handlers berated the conference staff for the quality of the sound system.”

Katrina Genuis, age 18, from Edmonton said, “I came to engage with my government and they did not have the courage to present their plan and justify it, I found it disrespectful to the UN audience as well as to the presenters.’

Sentiments following the meeting echoed this frustration, and comments overheard included, “I am not even Canadian and I find this embarrassing.”

Although the overall message of the Canadian government has been disappointing, youth will seize the opportunity to hold their government accountable. “Youth will be stepping up our actions during these last three days of the conference. Canadians have a right to know about their government’s dismal performance in Bali,” summarized Rosa Kouri, 24 from Saskatoon.

Ha! love it!

Good work!

I know the backlinks from here would have helped (I'm no 2 on Google Australia for "document scanning" due to this), but what else did you do in such a competitive field?

Great work, and we should perhaps start collaborating on how to get all our stuff to the most prominent spots. There's heaps about SEO on youtube.

I admit that reason is a small and feeble flame, a flickering torch by stumblers carried in the starless night, -- blown and flared by passion's storm, -- and yet, it is the only light. Extinguish that, and nought remains.- - Robert Green Ingersoll

 Enter: Carbon hoax 

Not too bad either. 

Global warming is a hoax carbonhoax.org.nz and spread the word.

How do the google rankings work? This means that there are a whole bunch of other pages that mention IPCC and Bali that point to your page on IPCC and Bali? (plus whatever their secret google sauce is)

Will you tell us how many hits you get from that search, how long they stay and what else they read?

I believe that's what they call 'a result' Peter
