Hahahahah: Gore getting mad at canada now, what a loon!

Gore accuses big oil of bankrolling Tories


Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore has accused the oil industry of financially backing the Tories and their "ultra-conservative leader" to protect its stake in Alberta's lucrative oilsands.

Canadians, Gore said, should vigilantly keep watch over prime minister-designate Stephen Harper because he has a pro-oil agenda and wants to pull out of the Kyoto accord -- an international agreement to combat climate change.

"The election in Canada was partly about the tar sands projects in Alberta," Gore said Wednesday while attending the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

"And the financial interests behind the tar sands project poured a lot of money and support behind an ultra-conservative leader in order to win the election . . . and to protect their interests."

Darcie Park, spokeswoman for oilsands giant Suncor Energy, said she's taken aback by Gore's remarks and hopes they don't resonate with Canadians.

"Our company just doesn't do business that way. We're really puzzled about where these comments came from," she said.

"Canadians understand how elections work in Canada and understand there are these very tight restrictions around what individuals and companies can contribute to individual parties or campaigns."

The federal Elections Act limits how much money individuals, corporations and unions can donate to political parties. Individuals are allowed to give as much as $5,000 a year, while companies and unions are capped at $1,000 a year.

In their election platform, the Conservatives promised to further limit individual donations to a maximum of $1,000 and ban all donations from corporations, unions and organizations.

Parties and candidates are required to make public any contributions exceeding $200.

While John Bennett, senior policy adviser for Sierra Club of Canada, isn't certain of how much oil companies and their executives donate to the Conservatives, he's noticed their language on Kyoto is similar.

"They've talked about the need for a made-in-Canada plan, which is exactly the terminology Stephen Harper used," Bennett said. "They've talked about targets for Kyoto being unreachable -- that's similar."

Gore warned that Harper wants to remove Canada from the Kyoto accord, which the United States signed under former president Bill Clinton, but has refused to ratify under President George W. Bush.

"Hopefully that will not happen thanks to the minority victory," Gore said of Canada's involvement in Kyoto.

Gore believes the issue of the oilsands and the sway he contends the industry holds with Harper didn't garner news coverage during the election because "media concentration has taken a toll on democratic principles around the world, and Canada is no exception."

Even if the Conservatives want to abandon Kyoto, Bennett doesn't think they will pull out because polls have shown a majority of Canadians support the agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions, which are widely believed to contribute to global warming.

He expects, however, Harper will make little effort to fulfil the country's Kyoto commitment: Cutting greenhouse gas emissions to six per cent below 1990's mark by 2012. He also predicts the Tories will halt Liberal plans to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from large industries, such as oil firms.

"They changed the messaging, but they haven't changed their opinion," Bennett said.

"I see them moving a lot closer to the Bush government. Talk a lot, but do nothing."

 

Gore is a loon in my opinion... But then again so are all the other politicians. I think he tried to convince kids he was "cool" by snowboarding with them one time...

 

Yeah but the Nixon boys in the White House that you support with the approval ratings as low as Nixon are great alright!

Yet, just one month ago, Americans awoke to the shocking news that in spite of this long settled law, the Executive Branch has been secretly spying on large numbers of Americans for the last four years and eavesdropping on "large volumes of telephone calls, email messages, and other Internet traffic inside the United States." The New York Times reported that the President decided to launch this massive eavesdropping program "without search warrants or any new laws that would permit such domestic intelligence collection."

During the period when this eavesdropping was still secret, the President went out of his way to reassure the American people on more than one occasion that, of course, judicial permission is required for any government spying on American citizens and that, of course, these constitutional safeguards were still in place.

But surprisingly, the President's soothing statements turned out to be false. Moreover, as soon as this massive domestic spying program was uncovered by the press, the President not only confirmed that the story was true, but also declared that he has no intention of bringing these wholesale invasions of privacy to an end.

At present, we still have much to learn about the NSA's domestic surveillance. What we do know about this pervasive wiretapping virtually compels the conclusion that the President of the United States has been breaking the law repeatedly and persistently.

A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government. Our Founding Fathers were adamant that they had established a government of laws and not men. Indeed, they recognized that the structure of government they had enshrined in our Constitution -- our system of checks and balances -- was designed with a central purpose of ensuring that it would govern through the rule of law. As John Adams said: "The executive shall never exercise the legislative and judicial powers, or either of them, to the end that it may be a government of laws and not of men."

Al Gore is fighting for the constitution while your side is stealing money as fast as they can and ruining the reputation of the United States worldwide after stealing two elections!

 

algore thinks people actually care about what he says... it's quite sad.. newsflash algore...your 15 minutes was up years ago....

 

Was that right after the 2000 election fraud by any chance

Maybe the brainwashed Pat Robertson followers don't pay attention to him but the majority of Americans who don't fall for Jerry Falwell propaganda do care!

 

Nah, Al and Bill did the same thing, as have many other presidents, to protect national security. Al's hypocricy knows no bounds. Al is fighting for the rights of terrorists to have a fair chance, as are others

With the nutjob liberals infiltrating the democrap party, no one needs to steal an election. Just keep putting the likes of Gore, Kerry, Kennedy, Durbin, Pelosi, Reid, Sheehan, Belafonte and other douche bags in the lime light. They take care of any hopes the party might have of getting elected.

I love it when Gore comes out with a speech! I hope he does another one just before elections this year. It should be so easy!

 

You mean the dem's are bigger nut jobs than people like you are for supporting fraud GTech

(Wow folks, is it any wonder Bush wants to censor Google search results)????

You mean Ted Kennedy is a bigger nut job than your friend Pat Robertson

Did he tell you that when you watched the 700 club this morning GTech

....or maybe it was Jerry Falwell that told you the dem's were fruitcakes

 

Oh, it wasn't a penis contest Anthony, just a general observation. Thank you for the predefined search string! I see some things never change.

Here's a predefined search string for you:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=hillary+clinton+has+large+testicles&btnG=Search

84,300 results...it *must* be true

 

Yeah and you have not changed either GTech, still the same old crap when you find yourself up against a brick wall of facts and current events!

I guess that even the Heritage Foundation can't help out, but I am sure that the Supreme Court will save Bush like they did in the 2000 election fraud

PS: If elections are rigged by Diebold it does not matter who the dem's put out there, Gore did win in 2000 GTech or did you forget that the dead Supreme Court Justice appointed his man Bush since he was appointed by Nixon and bribed by Baker......

 

Yeah Anthony, that must be it! Or perhaps Dick Cheney never smacked me upside the head with a Haliburton briefcase

 

Sure, he has everyone else on the payroll selling out the American citizens.

Why not you GTech

 

I prefer the karl rove affiliate program myself. The payouts are much higher and we don't have to sneak into moonbat's garages to steal their cans of oil

BTW, don't you just love Al Gore's hypocrisy?

 

Oh you mean the President's right hand man Rove who may be indited like Cheney's assistant is

 

You didn't like Al Gore's hypocrisy?

I didn't think you would

 

its not my policy but nobody listens to Algore in the outer world lol.

 

Did Gore have all his friends involved with fraud and being indited GTech

Did he steal two Presidential elections

 

You didn't like Al Gore's hypocrisy?

My how we want to change the subject when we learn Clinton/Gore used their powers to do the very same thing!

Oh, the outrage!

 

It is really funny that you want to blame Clinton and Gore for this:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Cheney+defends+domestic+spying&btnG=Google+Search

Next you will be blaming Clinton and Gore for wanting to use Google to spy on Americans

 

Nope, just this one. You didn't like Al Gore's hypocrisy?

Tough question, isn't it?

 

A very meaningless one....

If that is all you got you better get back to the Republican propaganda forums with Will Spencer and Henny!
