Canada- obsessive with Environmental issue?

it seems that these days, the politicians in Canada are all obsessed with the Environmental issue...Almost anything that you hear on the political news, you can hear green air act, Kyoto, global warming etc etc. The political parties, the Conservatives, the Liberals..all they do is argue about how much environmental this, environmental that, that they want Canada to do. It does make me wonder, ain't there other issues just as pressing as the environment? Although I do have to applause Canadian for their passion and drive in recycling and educating the young ones on recycling and taking care of their world.

However, other than the environment, what about the health care issues, education issues, immigration employment issues..these are issues that are very close to the heart of the very PEOPLE who make up Canada! How can a country function well without first taking care of its PEOPLE?

It has been so ironical hearing about how Canada is one of the best country in the world to live in, but when you are actually here, you can hear how much dissatisfaction and anger these people felt especially the immigrants (and if you do search through the WHOLE forum, I believe none of these immigrants mention anything with regards to the environment and the work the government did in this area)

Check out one of the forum about views on migrating to Canada: http://www.canadaimmigrants.com/forum.asp

If a government is remembered only for being successful in one issue yet failed in nine others...that's a sad situation, isn't it?
