COP 15 in Copenhagen has begun. For two weeks, negotiators from around the world will be meeting to discuss developing an agreement on taking action against climate change. World leaders - including Stephen Harper - will also attend to lend their voice and political capital to the process.
For Stephen Harper and Canada, political capital does not amount to much. A winner of over 40 "Fossil of the Day" awards since 2006 - more than any other country - for being the most obstructive country at international climate negotaitions, Canada's reputation has become mud. It is a far cry from 1997 when Jean Chrétien and the Liberals first signed Kyoto and Canada was seen as a leader with a lot of hope for progress in the air.
