Premiers see no hope for deal on green plan

globeandmail.com: Premiers see no hope for deal on green plan
QUEBEC — Canada's premiers have concluded it's impossible to get an agreement among themselves for a pan-Canadian plan to reduce greenhouse gases, with some saying they may have to wait until after the U.S. elections to kick-start the process.

Their reasoning comes as a number of premiers, including leaders of energy-rich provinces, are expected to criticize Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion's Green Shift when they meet in Quebec City Wednesday for the annual gathering known as the Council of the Federation.
