Free Ethical Oil!

1. Absolutely!
   Kate’s action items are the most important pieces on this site.
   If all we ever do is comment stuff to one another, the leftist activists take over.
   (Also, put your money where your mouth is)

2. Yeah, gimme some of that free oil. Ethical, or otherwise 🙂
   Heard CTV news moaning last night about our PM pointing out the foreign money coming here to finance the anarchists.
   More, faster…kill the nanny state. The CWB, WCB, CBC, and all the other useless money sucking acronyms.

3. On the up side CTV news mentioned the OIL sands 4 times in a news brief as opposed to the tar sands. A small step in the right direction for the mini-me of CBC.

4. So far as as this environmental review crap, get rid of it. Landowners are perfectly capable of deciding the activities that should be undertaken on their own land. At least make it a local decision. Take it away from the ill educated fools far removed from their decisions and insulated from the consequences.
   Who is going to allow activities which would lessen the value of their land? Property rights would do away with the whole wasteful system. And, save a pile of trees…

5. Another prime example of the forces behind climate/green economic activism have an agenda of global control of all (not just ours) resources. This is an economic hit not a political hit and Harper has probably shaken hands with the scum who are financing it at a G20, IMF or UN meeting.
   As a sidebar issue we all know these domestic one world government neo-com green NGOs railing against our national energy sovereignty would welcome this rapacious global cabal in to plunder our energy resources – see the oil sands are only economically sustainable if they are owned/controlled by the right transnational elites with the right political leanings (global resource regulation/rationing).
   These people are dangerous and it’s better to give them a political bloody nose now while they are manageable, that later when they are better organized.

6. Done.

7. Remember how outraged the leftists and their media cohorts were when they believed the National Rifle Association was funding anti-gun registration initiatives?

8. CBC has a new article up about the hearings.
   They found a couple of children to give their opinion;
   “I think that if any oil leaks … and leaks into the ocean … it’s going to poison all the other fish,” said Charissa Woods, 12.
   “All the animals will die. Yeah, it’ll leak if it breaks .… our fish might die and the oil might pollute the ocean,” added Elmer Smith, 10.
   Children do not come up with opinions like that on their own. They have been coached by their ‘teachers’who went for a worse case scenario. The pipeline is on land,not in the sea,but as we know facts don’t matter when you ‘re wanting to cripple the economy.

9. I have been on this subject since last year, writing the PM, my MP, Kent as well as Joe Oliver. I always send them this forsenic audit done by Vivian Krause on the $300M dollars that has poured into enviromental groups like the Pembina Institute and Indian Bands to fight against Alberta Oil and the Pipelines. Suzuki got over 10M himself. I have posted the link here before. As well as the link to the 9B in Tax Dollars that Paul Martin/Chretien stashed away in their special Liberal Trust Funds. Most of them funding Enviromental Causes like the Green Municipal Fund. The boards of directors of these trough pigs on these Special Liberal Trust Funds reads like a who’s who of the left. Link To Vivian Krause research. 300M has flooded into these groups and even Municipal Politicians election campaigns if they sing the enviromental message. Wake up Canada. http://fairquestions.typepad.com/rethink_campaigns/36-organizations-paid-by-tides-excerpts-of-usa-tax-returns.html

10. done

11. I think that anyone who wants to complain must spend 2 weeks at Fort McMurry first and see what it’s all about. Is that reasonable?

12. Only those people who are directly affected should be able to make submissions. The way it stands now even Saudi Arabia and Hugo Chavez are making submissions. The way it works now anyone in the world can have input into whether the pipeline gets built or not. This process was designed by Liberals who have been carrying the water for Native |Groups and Enviromentalists for years. The way it is now anyone in the world could have input into any development anywhere in Canada. Harper should tell the RCMP to do a forsenic audit on all of these Envirowhacko’s and the Indian Bands. Over 300M has poured into these groups and Indian Bands to fight resource development in Canada. Outlaw them…

13. RFB, the Global Warming/Climate Change campaign is about control over resources and redistributing the wealth. By claiming that the whole planet and its air space is affected by the oil sands, they imply that everybody is a stakeholder, even while costing Albertans jobs.

14. I just wish that one, just one crusading journalist in the Star, G and M, NP, or the Sun chain had the balls to do an in-depth investigative report on:
    (a) the multi million$ of tax-dollars that the enviro-parasites have sucked up in the past 10 years, and,
    (b) influence they exert on federal and provincial governments (Save Ontario Species congratuated McDinky for passing ‘their’ legislation).

15. RFB, and now the campaigners re. water are trying to put water kits into elementary schools, even in towns such as mine, where the water quality is EXCELLENT.

16. Here’s a great Financial Post article by Terence Corcoran: “A war [being waged by the Conservatives] on green ‘radicals’”. This is posted at Power Line today.

17. Quislings….

18. I think the Process, or any Gov’t Process, is most certainly rigged to provide cover to the Minister for making a decision. The real environmental issues are KNOW and IMHO should be trivial, that is that they are easy to meet & most PLL desire to do what is right
    The Canadian System has created chaos where folks that Advise policy makers also reap millions in insuring that the advice helps Foreign & Canadian Environmental stakes holders. The Manitoba Pembina Institute Group has a conflict of interest that IMHO is near criminal. These issues in my opinion should involve the AG of Canada & the institution of Government Accountability.
    But in the End.. The Minister is elected to make Decisions. Get on with it

19. This is a war on civilization . Nothing less, nothing more.

20. Fiddle, don’t be silly. OTherwise in the absence of regulations some idiot upstream from you could pour raw sewage into the creek that your cattle are supposed to drink from. Landowners may know best what use for their land, but they do not have the right to adversely impact their neighbors.
    Now about the squealing at CTV, you’re dead on. It was hilarious seeing Dizzy Lizzy dodge and swerve. And the gutless interviewer never asked a single question about foreign funding. It’s easy to be holier-than-thou when the MSM only tosses softballs at the ENGOs.

21. cgh, Canadians being inheritors of English Common Law have had the right to seek redress legally for harm brought to them or their property by adverse use by neighbours since Canada was founded. A neighbour does not mean somebody from the USA or EU etc. They would have to prove adverse effect in court with their dime. And the accused would have to rebut that claim in court with their dime. Its called Property Rights and they do exist in Canada even tho the Green Commies at the UN the Liberals and the PC’s of Alberta and the NDP would like them all erased so as to implement the UN’s Agenda 21, which is the basis of most of this nonsense.

22. Fiddle, don’t be silly. OTherwise in the absence of regulations some idiot upstream from you could pour raw sewage into the creek that your cattle are supposed to drink from.
    That would fall under property rights. The right to the enjoyment and use of property. No other regulation required.
    Well, unless your job is being the government nanny. You might, then, think differently…

23. If the Alberta government, who has constitutional control over its natural resources like oil, doesn’t care enough to send its own representatives to the hearings (saying it’s “a BC hearing, not an Alberta hearing”), why should anyone else care? Let Premier Alison Redford explain her stance to the electorate why her representatives aren’t there protecting the province’s interests.

24. Would it also make a difference if the opposition critics got copied in on these letters?
    Not all opposition MP’s sit in safe ridings.

25. Public Hearings exist to exempt politicians from making tough decisions by allowing the ENGOs to introduce hysteria into all development issues despite the fact that every potential resource impact is likely covered by existing federal or provincial law already. This is how green theocracy works and it works well, for the greens. It’s very similar to the general assembly of the United Nations where every dingbat from every tinpot backwater gets to piss all over anything that makes any sense.

26. These foreign terrorist groups also interfered in our election. They were openly campaigning against my CPC candidate!

27. Done. Three letters sent.

28. Yes indeed, John. That’s why there’s been a plague of independent boards and commissions set up over the last 15-20 years. They all serve to deflect responsibility for decision-making.
    RFB, yup, and half a century or so later, tort law will give you a decision. In part, environmental regulation was brought in because tort law works so slowly. By the time courts hand down that kind of decision, it’s your grandchildren who witness the final judgment.
    Fiddle, property rights are not recognized under the Charter of Rights. It’s not a regulation at all, please don’t confuse the two. If you are damaged you have to go to court and sue, and that can take a very long, long time.
    In the meantime, your cattle have long since died.

29. This is the letter I sent to Joe Oliver with CC to Peter Kent, the Prime Minister, Lizzie May, my MP, and the Major Projects Management Office
    Minister Oliver,
    I strongly support your position on a pipeline to move Canadian oil to international markets. We shouldn’t be selling our valuable natural resources to America at “bargain basement” prices because of ill conceived NAFTA agreements made by previous governments. Your recent open letter to Canadians indicates a refreshing change from the regressive policies of previous governments.
    I suggest that the review process run 24 hours a day to quickly move through the foreign funded objections to this much needed ‘Made in Canada’ project. The quicker we can get through this review process and approve the pipeline then the better it will be for Canada and all Canadians from coast, to coast, to coast.
    Thank you again for placing the best interests of all Canadians front and center.

30. If you are damaged you have to go to court and sue, and that can take a very long, long time. In the meantime, your cattle have long since died.
    Doubt if it takes 9 years. In the meantime, you’re just as broke from regulations pretending to protect.
    Anyway, I’ve never seen a cow die from drinking manure water. You obviously don’t know much about cows. Which only strengthens the point that ignorant people are pretending to protect us when they are without knowledge.

31. Manure water, pulp mill waste, who cares? Point is still the same. And by the way, the world’s longest lawsuit over water rights ran nearly 240 years. There’s nothing in this world to provoke long lawsuits than upstream and downstream legal arguments.
    Tort law of any kind takes years. Get used to it, because that’s the system we have. A bunch of supposed victims of Three Mile Island in 1979 went to court in 1980 to sue PSEG for damages. Their case took until the early 1990s to be heard. It wasn’t until 1997 that it was finally thrown out during its FIRST trial.
    You obviously don’t know much about the law.

32. So, the solution is always more gov’t intervention. No shortage of watermelons.

33. “So, the solution is always more gov’t intervention. No shortage of watermelons.”
    Don’t be stupid. If tort law takes a quarter century to render a decision then the only remaining remedy is regulation. And don’t kid yourself; the only thing about regulation that the watermelons want is inefficient and ineffective regulation. Otherwise they have no cause.
