OTTAWA - Prime Minister Stephen Harper has a sobering message for Canadians this holiday season: Enjoy the eggnog and candy canes while they last, because the party could soon be over.

Canadians could also feel the “bite” of federal regulations that require industry to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, the prime minister predicted.

He’s known about this for a year now, and he’s done nothing to prepare for it. Nothing except decide now to call a meeting to make a plan.

And he days Harper done nothing. That’s rich!
