House Of Representatives: Obama

Climate Change Dept: Why did Mr. Obama do it? Climate change was scarcely raised in the election campaign. A Republican-controlled House of Representatives will block any cap-and-trade system for greenhouse-gas emissions, plus just about anything else to reduce emissions, according to Globe and Mail. Once re-elected, Canadian governments presumed Mr. Obama would approve Keystone and, on balance, he probably still will. But his speech sent a frisson of apprehension through Canada and the private companies backing the project and cupid on the couch With so many other priorities the budget deficit, gun control, immigration why did the President spend so much of his inaugural speech on an issue the Alberta and Canadian governments figured had disappeared from his radar screen. Maybe he was just playing to history, in which case the sentences will disappear into the political ether. Or maybe he actually believes what he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
