Al Gore Picks Another Country to Meddle In

Al Gore, unable to get anyone to pay attention to him in the US, has decided to take his act on the road and start meddling in Canadian politics:

Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore has accused the oil industry of financially backing the Tories and their "ultra-conservative leader" to protect its stake in Alberta's lucrative oilsands.

Canadians, Gore said, should vigilantly keep watch over prime minister-designate Stephen Harper because he has a pro-oil agenda and wants to pull out of the Kyoto accord -- an international agreement to combat climate change.

"The election in Canada was partly about the tar sands projects in Alberta," Gore said Wednesday while attending the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

"And the financial interests behind the tar sands project poured a lot of money and support behind an ultra-conservative leader in order to win the election . . . and to protect their interests."

How do you say "Hey Al, why don't you go do unnatural things with yourself" in Canadian?

It's funny, I haven't heard Al say anything about Arafatistan electing a terrorist government. Don't you think that might be a little worse than Canada electing an "ultra-conservative"? Probably not in Al's world.
