Gore Screaming About Canadian Conservatives

Is Al Gore on drugs? Bad enough he screams and yells incoherently about President Bush. Now he's gassing it up over Canada's new Prime Minister Harper.

Here he is at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, recycling some of the old HALLIBURTON scare rhetoric and cutting and pasting it into a rant about Canadians developing the oil sands energy resource in Alberta.

Someone remind me: haven't we been encouraging development of alternative energy outside of the Persian Gulf?

Oh sorry, I forgot, Democrats only believe in big government socialist control and direction of energy. Can't have the private sector do the job for less now can we?

Gore accuses big oil of bankrolling Tories: "Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore has accused the oil industry of financially backing the Tories and their 'ultra-conservative leader' to protect its stake in Alberta's lucrative oilsands.

Canadians, Gore said, should vigilantly keep watch over prime minister-designate Stephen Harper because he has a pro-oil agenda and wants to pull out of the Kyoto accord -- an international agreement to combat climate change.

'The election in Canada was partly about the tar sands projects in Alberta,' Gore said Wednesday while attending the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. 'And the financial interests behind the tar sands project poured a lot of money and support behind an ultra-conservative leader in order to win the election . . . and to protect their interests.'

Darcie Park, spokeswoman for oilsands giant Suncor Energy, said she's taken aback by Gore's remarks and hopes they don't resonate with Canadians.
'Our company just doesn't do business that way. We're really puzzled about where these comments came from,' she said....

Don't sweat it Ms. Park. Nobody down here knows where he comes up with this stuff. And even fewer people actually care what this has-been has to say.
