dear syber-syblings i wouldn't normally post an article like this [not even close to relating to pd or the brain or cd or ...] but the headline about my new residence tickled me your silly-sis janet ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Snowy Canada dithers on global-warming policy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OTTAWA (October 24, 1997 11:40 p.m. EDT http://www.nando.net) - Canada's government drew fire on Thursday from environmentalists and opposition politicians for being the only one in a major industrialized nation not to announce how it proposes to attack the greenhouse effect. The Liberal government, which likes to wave its green colors in official pronouncements, is caught in a bind between ecologists demanding action and an energy industry and business community reluctant to slow the economy. And as snow has already blanketed much of the country just one month into autumn, it will be difficult to persuade Canadians that a little more warmth and winters shorter than six or seven months would be a bad thing.
