NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO TOUCH HIS ROBES

     Jerry Brown, the California governor who was in town to talk climate change with Premier Kathleen Wynne, was snubbed Monday by the Progressive Conservatives, who refused to allow him to address the Ontario legislature.
    “We were hoping that Governor Brown would be able to speak to the legislature,” Wynne told reporters. “The Conservatives blocked that because I think, essentially, they don’t want to talk about climate change. They don’t want to talk about that problem. They don’t want to talk about solutions. And that is extremely short-sighted.” 

    Wynne “held a campaign-style event alongside the California governor on the taxpayer dime,” said Simon Jefferies, a spokesperson for the Progressive Conservatives
   “At this event, (she) bragged about Ontario’s expensive cap-and-trade carbon tax that makes life harder for Ontario families and our economy more uncompetitive.”
