Here’s an alarming and important piece by George Monbiot, an environment journalist in the UK, published in the British newspaper The Guardian on November 20th. The Urgent Threat to World Peace is….Canada. He concludes, “The harm this country could do in the next two weeks will outweigh all the good it has done in a century.”

Canada is slipping down the development ladder, retreating from a complex, diverse economy towards dependence on a single primary resource, which happens to be the dirtiest commodity known to man. The price of this transition is the brutalisation of the country, and a government campaign against multilateralism as savage as any waged by George Bush.
