Holly, that’s entirely possible, too. I’ve heard the Calgary “elite” doesn’t like having a leader from anywhere other than Calgary, but not connected to the Calgary business establishment, I have no way of judging whether the rivalry is that real or not.

That is the dumbest thing I've read in a while. Gore's to blame for not bringing Kyoto before a Republican Senate that wanted to kill it??? That's rich. That Gore could be accused of killing Kyoto by not allowing the Senate to have a vote, on the record, killing Kyoto is an inane argument. As for his house, I'm shocked that a press release from a right-wing advocacy group that the Tennessee Department of Revenue says is "not a legitimate group" and that never contacted the public utility to get its information, got so much play. For the record, per square foot, Gore's home is about average for homes in his region, he pays so much for energy every year because he participates in a green energy plan offered by his public utility (which allows you to purchase energy from green sources at a SIGNIFICANTLY higher monetary rate than the average) his mansion produces some of that large amount of energy used through its own solar cells, and Gore contributes to projects that reduce carbon emissions elsewhere in order to bring his overall carbon footprint to zero. Mr. Gore doesn't say we should all move into small studio apartments and turn off our air conditioning. He says we should all do as much as we can to reduce our carbon footprint, and that once we get it as small as we can, we should contribute to projects reducing carbon emissions elsewhere, in order to neutralize the effect on the environment of the emissions we do generate. Which is exactly what he's doing. It used to be that being right was all that was needed to win an argument. Sadly, today, one must be both right, and PURE.
