LIVING ON THE EARTH: Canada has its own money problems, and a 27 billion dollar stimulus package that includes a green lining for the nation's economic cloud.To find out how green we turned to Michael Moore. He's a senior fellow at the Institute of Sustainable Energy, Environment and Economy at the University of Calgary.MOORE: The most significant piece of the package is a billion and a half dollars for clean air and climate change initiatives and about four billion dollars spread over two years for so-called infrastructure stimulus, which we hope will include new transmission facilities.
