Last week, ForestEthics responded to Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach’s reluctance to be a “boy scout” on climate change with the image below.

“We just want to be very careful that we’re not boy scouts
leading here and finding that our best trading partner may
have a different plan or approach to climate change.”
