[...] Joshua Kahn Russel of RAN explains the reason behind the action in greater detail: “During Harper’s first official trip to meet Obama in the U.S., the two leaders are expected to discuss climate change and energy policy ahead of the upcoming G20 Summit. Canada supplies 19% of U.S. oil imports, more than half of which now comes from the tar sands, making the region the largest single source of U.S. oil imports. The expansion of the tar sands will strip mine an area the size of Florida. Complete with skyrocketing rates of cancer (by 400%!) for First Nations communities living downstream, broken treaties, toxic belching lakes so large you can see them from outer space, churning up ancient boreal forest, destroyed air and water quality, the tar sands have been called the most destructive project on Earth.” [...]

Sorry folks, we’re not willing to turn Alberta into a mass ghetto of the likes of Detroit, or other cities in the U.S.A. The tarsands aren’t going anywhere. Perhaps you can take a look at this and understand the situation a bit better. It may not be perfect, but over time as technology develops pollution and environmental impacts will be better controlled. BTW, have you folks made any decisions on the whole “Universal Healthcare” debate?
