Vancouver Papers: Gone Green?

24hours-baird.jpg
24 Hours fronts the visit to Stanley Park by new environment minister John Baird. But this was the best part: "A lone protester, 66-year-old Ann Grant, made her way to the conference - park staff blocked the roads leading into Prospect Point so only media could enter - to plead with the government to respect the Kyoto Accord.

'They're not doing enough,' said Grant, sporting a horned Stephen Harper mask and a pitchfork with Planet Earth impaled on its tip. 'More extreme weather is likely to be caused by global warning if we keep ignoring it. It's already happening.'"

The Sun has an interesting story on how the campaighn heads of the three federal parties are from BC. "One theory is that the rise of B.C. talent to the top jobs proves that the province, long considered the scene of the country's wackiest politics, has become one of the most tightly contested political arenas in Canada. That has made it one of the best training grounds in the country for parties to pick up political talent."

And more from Baird, "It's another reason why we have to act on climate change."
