The Harper talking points:
“This agreement is the result of two weeks of negotiations in which Canada and Environment Minister Prentice, our chief negotiator, played a key part...Canada is working to align our clean energy and climate change policies with those of the Obama Administration."
If that's the case, how do you explain these?

Harper not on he guest list as Obama meets with world leaders on climate change.

U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu gets an order from "pretty high up" not to even get a photo op with Jim Prentice.
The Cop 15 talks produced a result which many found dissapointing, and it is clear that the only leadership Harper showed at the Cop was leading Canada to another fossil of the year award. If our biggest trading parter is ignoring us when it comes to the environment, which will be the lynchpin of the 21st century economy, what does that say about the Conservatives ability to manage a 21st century economy?

The 'Obama guest list' was drawn up to represent REGIONAL representation. Furthermore, the guest list was NOT drawn up by Obama or his aides, it was drawn up by the host country. So you can call it a snub by Denmark, but Obama had nothing to do with it.
