It ain't about the US being the center of the universe, Brucie...

Let's reverse roles here... Let's say that it was the United States who had all this tar sand and it wanted to build a pipeline thru Canada and over your aquifer to a port where China would take delivery???

You'd think it mighty arrogant of the United States thinking that it could come thru your country with a certainty of many, many leaks which did nothing more for Canada than provide a few thousand temporary jobs and lease money for the property owners over which this thing was built...

As for our EPA, it has been strangled by the Republicans over the last 8 years... I have two close friends, one of whom is well know at the Getaway, who have been very pissed at just how the right wing has stopped them from doing their jobs... And keep in mind, the folks at C-PAC at 100% behind shutting the EPA down entirely...l
