I direct you to Paul Romanuk's blog this morning. Paul writes a nice piece about Al Gore and his acceptance of the Nobel Prize.

In the past, Paul has accused me of being a "goose stepping" conservative, buying into everything and anything Stephen Harper stands for.

It's not true, I'm poised and ready to jump when Harper comes even close to committing the horrendous acts that are "anticipated" by the left, but until then I choose to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and support him as my Prime Minister.

And I especially support him when it comes to his stance on global warming and protecting the interests of Canada.

It's interesting that in his column Romy claims that all the wonderful things that Gore is doing now, couldn't be done while he was in office. Well surprise, surprise.

When you're in office you have to deal more in realities than promoting yourself as some world saviour who stands behind some suspect data compiled in a feature film that borders on fiction.

Even if Al Gore did have these feelings towards global warming when he was in office, (which I highly doubt he did) he didn't act on them because there's a lot more to the issue than showing some overly dramatic pictures and claiming we're all going to fry while padding your bank account.

There are economies to consider, jobs to consider and then you balance that against the data, the hysteria, and the willingness of others to help tackle the problem with you.

That was the position Gore was in while he was in office and like it or not, that's the position Stephen Harper is in right now.
