The Government of Canada is Above the Law

At least, that's what the Conservatives seem to think. This is particularly rich coming from a party that stresses "law and order" (read: locking up harmless potheads in droves) isn't it?

The House of Commons has passed a law demanding that the government live up to its Kyoto commitments. Under parliamentary tradition, the government is responsible to the House of Commons. If the Conservatives do not implement Kyoto, they will be in breach of the law. Pretty simple math.
