A weak deal and more dishonour -- that's about all Canadian officials are bringing home from Copenhagen.

Environmental groups named my country the Colossal Fossil, 2009's Fossil of the Year. And I reckon the 'award' is well-deserved.
I'd like to say I'm disappointed, but what more could I expect from a government headed by a guy who railed against "the job-killing, economy-destroying Kyoto Accord" and said it was "based on tentative and contradictory scientific evidence"?
