TORONTO (CP) - The Conservatives' new environmental platform is a "complete and total fraud" that is "designed to mislead the Canadian people," former U.S. vice-president Al Gore said Saturday. The noted environmentalist was presenting his Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" in Toronto at a consumer environmental show, with Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and environmentalist David Suzuki in attendance. Gore praised Suzuki for confronting Environment Minister John Baird on Friday, saying he saw the two exchange words on TV. When Baird told Suzuki the Conservatives were going further than any other government in Canadian history, Suzuki said it wasn't enough.

Environment Minister John Baird has fired a salvo back at former U.S. Vice President Al Gore in a war of words over the Conservatives' new climate policy. "Former Vice-President Al Gore deserves acknowledgement for the success of his film in highlighting the huge ecological challenge of climate change," Baird said Saturday."It is difficult to accept criticism from someone who preaches about climate change, but who never submitted the Kyoto Protocol to a vote in the United States Senate (and) who never did as much as Canada is now doing to fight climate change during eight years in office."
