“Gracias Por Nada” Canada

So its week two at the climate talks, when the heavyweights begin to arrive. Over the next few days, environment ministers, Prime Ministers and Presidents will all head to the Mexican resort of Cancun.

Due to arrive tomorrow is Albertan Environment Minister, Rob Renner, who will be greeted by a sarcastic “muchas gracias” newspaper adverts.

The ad in the Cancun paper Novedades de Quintana Roo features a picture of Renner in a sombrero with text that reads:

“As you join us in Cancun, we’d just like to say muchas gracias for all your work to keep the oil a-flowing from the tarsands in Canada. Subsidies, public relations campaigns and letting our pollution go up up up — what more could we ask for?”
