From the Georgia Straight:

Environmental groups from around the world expressed their unhappiness with Canada by presenting the country with the first-place Fossil of the Day award on the third day of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.

It’s the third time in as many days that Canada has received a Fossil, a dubious honour reserved for countries that do the most to delay and disrupt negotiations toward a global agreement on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

From the CBC:

Dozens of Canadian youth at the United Nations’ climate change summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, led a protest against the Alberta oilands on Wednesday, calling for a moratorium on further oilsands development.
