Why Harper and Myself are Idiots

As the Canadian government rapidly dismantles Kyoto commitments--see here for the latest example, I'm kicking myself for thinking the Conservatives couldn't do very much because of their minority position. I of course forgot that they can very easily gut all programs without actually pulling out if the treaty.

How very stupid of me.

Will this come to a head? Do Canadians really care? I can't shake the feeling that Canadians talk a very good environmental game (prior to Harper) but your average voter doesn't care very much about global warming. Hands up anyone who thinks Kyoto will significantly impact the next election. Anyone?

A First Shout into the Noise

I am a tech-savy individual and yet I'm terribly, horrificly late to the blogging party. Always considered it not terribly important, especially if it was a self-indulgent exercise involving myself and a readership that could be counted on one hand. Go big or go home I guess. It will be an interesting experiment nonetheless.

Global Ramblings implies a sort of broad focus, also encompassing an interest in politics and "issues" of the day. You'll get to know me as we move along. This will NOT be one of those insufferable public diaries. Possible topics to bore or excite may include:

-The rise of Asia
-US (mis)adventures on the global stage
-Internet issues
-Philosophical wonderings
-Globalization, economics, etc...blah, blah, blah
-Whatever I bloody well please :)
