The Kyoto agreement isn't even supported by most of the Western Provinces. How the hell does the federal government expect to successfully carry its obligation to the treaty if the most powerful province (Alberta) which also has the heaviest oil industries in all of Canada, refuses to follow it?
Moral Superpower? I think that's kinda a stretch. Most of us Canadian still see we got big problems (Health Care, Sponsership Scandel, Education, Infrastructure, etc) and yet, at the same time, most countries, including United States see us as one of those perfectly tuned culture/society? Naw, from a Canadian perspective, we not superior in our moral values compared to other nations.
I don't think Canada has ever been more divided before. Threats of separatism in Quebec still exist, although, it's always been there but not as strong as it once was a decade ago. The voices of western separatism is starting to get louder but not that loud for anybody to care. Western Alienation (sp) still exist today in Canada. Altantic Canada is still crying for help as several key industries continues to fail. Most Canadian are still biased when it comes to trying to deal with cultural problems such as fixing issues in the past with native people.
In fact, I tend to think that some of the European countries (Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, etc) has superior moral value compared to us. I think the author of the article just view us enviously (is that even a word?) Perhaps he failed to look at other countries that has better culture, government and society compared to Canada.
