An international network of environmental groups is trying to horn in on the agenda of President Barack Obama’s one-day inaugural trip to Canada on Thursday.
Called Obama2Canada.org, the group is represented by radical environmentalist groups like Greenpeace, Environmental Defence and the Council of Canadians among others.
Obama2Canada.org made it to Federal City Digest in this morning’s Washington Post: “The lobbying in advance of President Obama’s trip to Ottawa on Thursday to meet with Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper is already in high gear, as Canadian environmental and community groups hold a telephone briefing today to discuss “the major cross-border climate and energy issues.” (washingtonpost.com, Feb. 17, 2009).
