Congratulations America! Congratulations world!

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

President Obama won’t be perfect, but with good intentions and an acute awareness of the problems facing Americans and the planet, he’s the right man for this job at this time. He won’t deliver on all expectations, but all anyone can ask is that he try.

Here’s, hopefully, to eight years of positive transition. Americans have every right to be proud of this moment.

Why Obama as U.S. president is a wake-up call for Ontario

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

My Clean Break column today argues that Ontario needs to act fast on green-economy building if it hopes to keep up with a re-energized America under a green-driven Obama administration. The province needs to announce a bold, comprehensive green strategy within the next six month and it has to market it aggressively at home, across the border and overseas. This is no longer about adding renewable energy to the grid. It’s about creating a sustainable industrial strategy that will create green-collar jobs and bring Ontario’s manufacturing sector into the 21st century. It’s also not just about climate change. It’s about energy and economic security. To quote a comment made last week by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “If you don’t change today you will get buried by the change.”
