Dion vu d'ailleurs

Toujours intéressant de voir le point de vue que les autres portent sur nous. Quand un événement international se passe chez-nous on peut, l'espace de quelques jours, voir comment les journaux du monde traitent des affaires étrangères en comparant leurs visions à notre réalité quotidienne. Mes bons amis de Grist.org nous mettent sur la piste d'un article du New-York Times qui parle de la chute de notre gouvernement et de l'impact de cet événement sur la Conférence de Montréal sur les changements climatiques.

Grist présente l'article en décrivant ainsi l'ami d'Infoman:
[...]It was supposed to be Canada's moment to shine: Its influential and
persuasive environment minister Stephane Dion, a strong Kyoto advocate, is
chairing the summit and intends to lead negotiations on what should come after
the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.[...]


Puis dans l'article du NY Times:
[...]Many of the Canadian cabinet ministers and other members of Parliament who were supposed to attend the conference will now be scurrying to the campaign trail instead.

"It's the nightmare scenario that environmental activists around the world have been hoping would be avoided," said Elizabeth May, executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada. Speaking of Stephane Dion, the country's environment minister - the chairman of the conference as well as a major political player in the battleground province of Quebec - Ms. May said, "He is bound to be just a tad distracted."


Dion influent et convaincant??? La chute des Libéraux un cauchemar que craignaient les environnementalistes du du monde entier??? (Je vois d'ici les membres brésiliens, français et japonais de GreenPeace observer une minute de silence après le vote de lundi soir à Ottawa)

L'article finit quand même par dire que le Canada a un score pitoyable quant aux objectifs de Kyoto. Mais à lire ces articles on croirait que Dion est un ministre de l'environnement exceptionnel. Je rappelle que les objectifs de Kyoto demandait au Canada d'abaisser ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre de 6% comparés au niveau de 1990. L'entente date de 1997 et en 2005 nos émissions ont augmenté de 24%. Oh by the way, les Libéraux sont en poste depuis quoi, 12 ans? Ahem...

Heureusement notre ministre est très influent et convaincant, sinon on tapait le 50% d'augmentation. Et puis imaginez un ministre qui ne serait pas si persuasif: il se chamaillerait sans doute sur une tribune internationale avec le ministre de l'environnement du Québec au sujet de Kyoto. Comme ça Dion est le champion de Kyoto en Chine, en Inde et aux ÉU? C'est triste qu'il ne soit juste pas assez convaincant pour venir à bout de ses récalcitrants Québécois. C'est vrai qu'il y a là une grosse barrière culturelle, pensez-y: un ministre fédéral libéral d'origine québécoise qui doit s'entendre avec un gouvernement provincial libéral, c'est plus compliqué que les Chinois ce monde-là. Bravo Canada!

  • Eh bien! je découvre un Dion méconnu! Ou peut-être confondent-ils avec l'autre Dion, celle qui clamait avec acharnement : « Take a kayak, take a kayak! »
