Canadian government misrepresent Gore remarks

Al Gore and Stephen Harper rarely get mentioned in the same sentence. Gore is pro-environment and the Conservative Party, well, hasn't been pro-environment.

This article notes the issue of Harper's government trying to use Gore's words to its advantage and Gore calling them on it.

The Harper government will likely come up for election soon, perhaps this spring. And it wants to show some progress on the environment. The Liberal Party, the major rival, has a strong pro-environment track record. A generalization, perhaps, but Canadians seem to care more about their environment than Americans do.
