While Harper was in Copenhagen tonight, he declined to present
Canada's speech to the plenary (unlike many other world leaders), and
sent Environment Minister Jim Prentice in his stead. There is nothing startling in this speech, and it includes many of
the positions already identified in previous positions. It continues
the language of synchronising Canada's efforts with the US, and
maintaining a one-track approach (implying a new agreement rather than
the Kyoto Protocol). Far as I can tell, there are no concrete tragets
identified, no new financing commitments, or reference to emerging
science.
