Good Day Readers:

After reading the article below, if we could have a fake headline for a day what would it be? When was the last time you heard of a politician cutting their salary?

Fake website says Canada will reduce greenhouse gases

OTTAWA — A fake website that went online Monday posing as the official Environment Canada page and pledging that Canada will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2020 is a “childish prank,” according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

A news release posted on the website, www.enviro-canada.ca, says Environment Minister Jim Prentice has announced at the climate talks in Copenhagen that Canada will reduce emissions by at least 50 per cent by 2050.

The minister’s spokesman Bill Rodgers said the website is a fake. It is unclear where the site originated.

The website address started circulating on Twitter Monday.

Meanwhile, a fake Wall Street Journal website, www.europe-wsj.com, also appeared online Monday. It had an untrue story posted that said Canadian delegates in Copenhagen have announced a “significant shift” in the climate change stance.
