I Didn't Know This

NORTHERN GATEWAY PIPELINE HAS BEEN APPROVED

Yahoo!

Man, Harper has balls. Enviroweenies are wetting their pants: Northern Gateway gets green light

Neil Young could not be reached for comment. Nor David Suzuki. Nor a half dozen other washed up old has beens and never weres in the first place.

Still a long way to go, though. Oh well. The more we hear the bleating of the enviroweenies and their know nothing compatriots the better. They are very good at falling on their own swords.

I Didn't Know...

...this had happened. Perhaps that's because the lamestream media (including SNN - GRRRRRRRRRR!) has been obsessing non-stop over Rob Ford. This is big news! Maybe. To he!! with the Centre of the Universe. Screw Keystone!! We got oil to sell.

More.

Yes Or No...

..or "Make these changes and get back to us"?

If you listen carefully, think it's the last and so does Lorne Gunter:

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA

PS: There's a rip-roaring knock-em-out, drag-em-down war going on between Quebecers and the ROC here. Of course, I've been having a great time throwing a few punches myself. Now, I've gotta get up off this chair and get some other stuff done.
=================================
All we had to do is let it be known that we'd like to see Quebec go, aaaand PRESTO!

Mulcair touts Canada's Oil and Oil Sands as an 'important resource'

Why it was only last week that he declared the Northern Gateway project dead.

Betcha the NDP's tried and true union boss buddies had something to do with this. Lotta jobs would be lost.

He's covering all his bases, too.

"Mulcair said that new refineries could create jobs and improve Canada’s energy security, but he also reiterated previous comments about his belief that Enbridge’s proposed pipeline would never be approved.

“The problem of course with Northern Gateway is it goes through some of the most pristine ecosystems,” Mulcair said. “It’s extremely dangerous on that coast and I just don’t think it makes any sense.”

He noted that even Prime Minister Stephen Harper has recently suggested that a scientific assessment would determine the fate of the project that would ship about 550,000 barrels of heavy oil every day from near Edmonton to Kitimat.

“Mr. Harper seems over the summer to have discovered the merits of science,” Mulcair said. “The problem is he keeps firing his scientists and the ones he isn’t firing, he’s muzzling. So if we can at least come up with a common understanding and use the highest level of environmental assessment and get the best results, then maybe these things can move forward in other places, but the Northern Gateway I think, is a non-starter.”"

Betcha within a very short time he'll be singing the praises of the Northern Gateway route, all the while, finding something to blame on Harper. Gotta throw some bones to the HDS crowd that forms part of his base, too, not just his union buddies who are anticipating all those employment opportunities.

The Bishops Get Political

Anglican bishops call for fairness in Northern Gateway pipeline hearings

"Six Anglican bishops from across British Columbia and the Yukon came together on Good Friday calling for the environmental review hearings on Enbridge Inc.'s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline to remain fair and free from political pressure.

"There's some concern that the decision's already been made and that the review process is just a rubber stamp," said Bishop Michael Ingham, of the Diocese of New Westminster. "I think what we're trying to do is call upon the panel itself to resist pressure - political pressure, industry pressure - and to come to a fair, balanced and thorough set of recommendations.""

[---]

"The statement asks the National Energy Board review to hear the views of all people who live along the intended route of the pipeline, and pay close attention to the concerns of First Nations communities.

"In a project of this magnitude, it is imperative that the final NEB report on Northern Gateway be thorough and credible and command wide public support."

Ingham said he was worried about pressure from the oil industry and the federal government."

Sounds like they've already made up their minds that there are culprits at large and those culprits are the oil industry and the federal government. Nothing to say about the environmental lobby and other assorted politically inspired nut cases. No politics here./sarc

Gotta wonder what my God-fearing arch-Anglican mother would have thought about this or any of a whole range of assorted whacko positions taken by the Anglican church hierarchy in recent years.
