Traitors in our midst pretending to care about the environment


IMO, Mark Jaccard is a piece of shit.  What are the bets that this guy's bank balance has been made heavier by those who are doing their best to keep Canada from becoming one of the strongest nations in oil production?  

From YahooNews:
....A former Harper government   appointee used a keynote speech at a Washington event Monday to trample Canadian authorities' message on oil pipelines while describing the country as an environmental "rogue state.".....

......Jaccard, an adviser to different governments and a professor at B.C.'s Simon Fraser University, said he doesn't want the oilsands shut down — he just doesn't want them to grow.
"On climate, Canada is a rogue state," Jaccard said.
"It's accelerating the global tragedy ... The U.S. government should reject Keystone XL and explain to the Canadian government that it hopes to join with Canada (on a global climate plan)."
That message stands in sharp contrast to that of the Canadian government, which has spent millions to publicize the benefits to both countries of developing the oilsands.
Jaccard was the headline speaker at a summit tied to a well-connected Democratic donor, the so-called "green billionaire" Tom Steyer, and attended by a number of U.S. media outlets.....
