Apr. 3rd, 2007 07:47 pmTonight's news featured a report on an opinion survey around climate change and addressing the costs.
[a few questions showing Canadian support for protecting the planet, etc. Then...]
- most Canadians would be against a higher gas tax
- most Canadians would be against laws requiring them to not use their car one day per week
- most Canadians would be against a $10 charge to drive downtown
- most Canadians want Canada to live up to its Kyoto commitment
*sigh*
