Is this for real?
Two paragraphs in the aforelinked article contains some of the most partisan, if subtle, editorializing I've seen yet from Canada's National Newspaper:
"Mr. Drummond's letter appears to be a political boon for the Tories, and a blow for the Liberals, as parties gird themselves for the possibility of an election campaign fought on hot-button issues such as Kyoto.
[Psychologists call this "reactance," and normal people call it reverse psychology: by stating uncertainty, you make you reader surer of the statement's truth.]
It will be difficult for the Liberals to attack Mr. Drummond, a senior Canadian economist whom political parties, including Mr. Dion's, have consulted over the years. He wasn't paid for this latest opinion, which the Tories solicited from him."
[Somehow, not paying for Drummond's very vested opinion makes it more valid?]
The Conservatives really must have no idea what they're going to do about Kyoto.
