Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff and MP Scott Brison speaking at Kwantlen University, responding to a broad question about trade with China and concerns about the impact of the Asia Pacific Gateway strategy and the local highway infrastructure in the Vancouver lower mainland area (close to where they were speaking).
Sorry about my hands being shaky with the camera, next time I will bring my little steady cam thingy.
This is an interesting video, its both concerning and hopeful which I guess compared to Harper is a step in the right direction but we need more than baby steps we need real leadership that will take us into a new sustainable economy that must be built from the ground up in Canada.
The question is does Ignatieff want to be a world leader in addressing climate change or does he want to pass the buck and point the finger. If Gateway means a pipeline to get more of our oil over there or if it means sprawling development built around the car instead of smart growth communities then it is truely a gateway to global warming.
Brison’s comments are hopeful but its yet to be seen what the Liberals would do. Personally I think a coalition would be the best case scenario because it would ensure that Iggy would have to “play well with others” and it will definitely produce the best social policy we have seen from our government for a while and hopefully a sense of ecological reality.
