The response from our federal government to the Pembina Institute/Suzuki Foundation study "Climate Leadership, Economic Prosperity," is predictable. Outrage.

OTTAWA -- There was no missing it from the air as we landed in Fort Simpson last summer, but Environment Minister Jim Prentice still made sure to point out the future footprint of Canada’s great, and perhaps late, northern pipedream.
