The Prime Minister of France is urging the European Union to impose a punitive import tax on goods from countries such as Canada that refuse to sign on to a tougher second phase of the global warming deal. Dominique de Villepin said countries that do not commit to new targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions should not be allowed to benefit by avoiding the costs associated with reducing global warming. He said France would make specific proposals for the European Union to discuss in the new year. globe and mail
So the poet Prime Minister is proposing to penalize Canada, China, India and the US. And how will the wily de Villepen accomplish this? By raising the prices EU citizens have to pay for the goods made in those nations.
Brilliant.
You can’t blame him for wanting some extra revenue. He’s got to cover the expenses of all those rioting “youths” in his country. smirk

I didn’t know they manufactured anything but hamburgers in the US, and I didn’t think they exported them. China and India would hurt though – Canada too, when it comes to resources, but not so much manufactured goods.
I left a comment but if it doesn’t show, f**k it!
