Is Sask Premier Wall just “showboating” in his defense of the oil and gas industry?
The Calgary Sun is running the same question.

Why they should have canned their entire media relations department: “…it was only because Tims gave in that Canadians would come to quickly learn all about it.”

Update 2:This didn’t take long.
Tim Hortons has no problem doing business in OPEC dictatorships. They have stores in Kuwait. In the United Arab Emirates. In Qatar. In Oman. Those are all dictatorships. Tim Hortons happily takes their money.
But they think Canadian oil and gas workers are too unethical.
Fine. If Tim Hortons doesn’t want Canadian oil money, let’s not give it to them. Boycott Tims.
#BoycottTims is now trending #1 in Canada.
Honey, I Finished The Internet
Oh, Frack!
The new study of 11,309 drinking water wells in northeastern Pennsylvania concludes that background levels of methane in the water are unrelated to the location of hundreds of oil and gas wells that tap hydraulically fractured, or fracked, rock formations. The finding suggests that fracking operations are not significantly contributing to the leakage of methane from deep rock formations, where oil and gas are extracted, up to the shallower aquifers where well water is drawn.
The result also calls into question prominent studies in 2011 and 2013 that did find a correlation in a nearby part of Pennsylvania. There, wells closer to fracking sites had higher levels of methane. Those studies, however, were based on just 60 and 141 domestic well samples, respectively.

For those too young to remember, the Keystone Cops were a squad of fictional, incompetent policemen. They appeared in silent film comedies in the early 20th century.
