The Government of Canada's official website has lots of information about Canadian Environment Week, which runs June 2 - 8. But the Harper government seems to have forgotten to mark the occasion.

Environment Minister Peter Kent will be in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut today to announce a new Canadian climate change adaptation project in partnership with American and German scientists.

Maybe a bench-clearing parliamentary brawl would be just the ticket to boost our flagging national spirits in this hockey-deprived season!

Organizing Team Administrative Assistant Philippe Charbonneau, Communications Officer Matthew Ramsden and I dressed in hazardous materials suits, and attempted to deliver mock fracking fluids.

Is Environment Minister Peter Kent passing gas onto the next generation? Kent claims Canada's GHG reductions are 50 per cent on-target, but the real figure is only 9 per cent. Who is fabricating data?

This analysis shows how most of the "progress" on greenhouse pollution reduction that was claimed by the Harper government on Wednesday is based on a number scam as opposed to any meaningful progress.

A change in tone from Environment Minister Peter Kent is welcome, but when you look closely there is a credibility gap on the climate file at least as wide as Canada's emissions gap.
