  1. What a break for us. Maybe he’ll emigrate over there to keep an eye on his forest.

  2. I think the province of Alberta should also recognize Jean Charest’s extraordinary climate change leadership by naming something in his honor: maybe sewage a treatment plant, a provincial prison, an inner city food bank or even a red light district.
    Errr…white francophone men are not protected by Section 13 of the Human Right Code, are they??

  3. The only thing better would be if it was the “The Jean Charest Memorial Urban Forest”, but one can dream.

  4. Good. He can move there then. I’m sure it’s right beside the landfill named after Stephane Dion

  5. Of course, hopefully they realize that both Quebec and California are both bankrupt states! Maybe that is a clue to the future of climate change – become a supporter of climate change and your state/province can became bankrupt at the same time!

  6. I’m guessing it’s right next to the Don Quixote Memorial Fountain. It would make sense for memorials to two equally confused men striking out at imaginary villains to be located in the same area.

  7. And the glaringly obvious question, “By how much exactly did he reduce his province’s ‘green house’ gasses?”

  8. Ooooooh, the Land of Oz
    Is a funny funny place,
    and everyone
    wears a funny funny face.
    All the streets are paved with gold,
    and no one ever grows old…

  9. “Charest is the second winner of the annual prize handed out by the state of South Australia; last year’s recipient was California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. ”
    Quebec and California are the most indebted governments in their respective countries. So, it’s not surprising that the climate change wealth redistribution industry would want to recognize their achievements.

  10. “Charest is the second winner of the annual prize handed out by the state of South Australia; last year’s recipient was California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.”
    The headline could just as easily read;”Two welfare bums get awards”.
    This is an object lesson to those who cry that we won “fossil” awards from Cancun,if you can depend on the rest of the Country for your money, you too can be green.

  11. Course he’ll have to take a jet down there for a couple of days of Waltzing His Ma-title-das.
    Rent a floor at the Hilton Adelaide for him and his entourage.
    Pull the string make a speech spend a few million.
    Then fly back to the suckers of Quebec.
    Just like Cancun.
    Ka-ching!

  12. Charest can be a brave warrior for the imaginary climate change unicorn because it doesn’t mean anything … he won’t have to pay for it … it’s a scam.
    This whole climate thing should be handed over to Marcel Marceau so it can mime itself out of existence and we will only hear the silence.

  13. Being so ecological conscious, he will no doubt cross Canada in a birch bark canoe, a la Radisson, and strike out across the Pacific on a raft, like Thor Heyerdahl. It’s going to be a long trip if he wants to keep his carbon paddle-print low.

  14. and to think some people still fancy this guy as a possible future Conservative leader….Bahahahahaha!!

  15. Hang on a second here. The Australians are a practical bunch. My guess is the forest is already full of frogs.

  16. DrD. — of course the carbon footprint is going to go down with industries in Quebec doing less work, or leaving the province entirely. Also, perhaps less people are smoking, though I doubt that.

  17. This is the guy that is allways slamming Alberta`s oil sands (while demanding their money for his social programs) but Quebec`s asbestos mines are ok! Did you not know that co2 is much more dangerous than asbestos?
