It will be very interesting to see if Layton has had any effect or if Harper has read that particular volume (or understood its significance). I am nearly finished The Weather Makers (I came on it not knowing this about Layton’s “gift” to Harper). It is a book which everyone should read (and I don’t give a damn how teacher-ish that sounds!) It’s a call to action although it may already be too late for the next generations. Harper, so far, seems not to have taken it in. His government’s environment policy thinking is as far from what Tim Flannery is telling us it should be, as it is possible to get. Canada is becoming a fossilized, fossil-fuel state with all that that entails.
