Subject: RE: BS: Will Obama approve the XL pipeline?
Some of you are idealistic enough to think we are going to have any say in this. I'm too friggin' old or jaded to believe that anymore. I think it's a done deal--was when that Cheney was up at the oil sands with Harper. A refinery is a multi-lotsa money project. We have refineries in Edmonton, a place just north of Edmonton the name of which I've forgot, Calgary, Norman Wells, I think Red Deer and likely other places of which I'm not aware. But refineries are setup to handle certain grades of oil. I guess they can't handle it.

For those pissed of at Canada, stop driving your fucking cars, SUVs, pickups so much and it will be less of a problem. Cut back on your electric toothbrushes, hair dryers, electric can openers, air conditioners--but you all know this and have no intent to do that. Goddamn spare me. You are a greedy nation in terms of your energy needs. Pressure your damned politicians, all you can, and stop bitchin' at us. We've been fucked over more by the USA than we ever fucked the USA over.
