He's only done what he's had to so his previous minority government wouldn't be dissolved by the opposing parties. His new minority government will be as much of a lame duck if not more. He and his party only received 37% percent of the votes and only 50% of the country voted - the lowest turn out ever. Any other party would have been better for the planet - NDP, Liberal or Greens. Harper government = bad for the environment. This is a guy who won’t put an end to the tarsands.

Wouldn't that make less garbage if we were to keep using the same containers for these detergents, thus less garbage in the landfills. The same with cooking oils. That is my vision for the future. We are just borrowing the future and the earth from our children after all.
