Thanks Cal for the link to the Earth One article by Andrew Nikiforuk. The Haper Government sounds like a GOP clone and their policy to go forward with development of the tar sands need to be halted. Read and noted.

Just say NO to the rape and plunder of our planet! Our elected "officials" on both sides of the border need to start listening to their citizens.

Why is it that aboriginal people the world over have no rights? Canada is destroying the age-old culture of its aboriginal people for the purpose of fueling more cars in China and making greedy oil companies even wealthier. Aboriginal people have always depended on nature for their survival and have always treated this earth with respect, yet Prime Minister Harper is allowing Canada's once pristine air and water and beautiful, unscathed landscape to be destroyed for the benefit of a few --most of whom are citizens of other countries.

I agree with Sue H. "Our elected officials on both sides of the border need to start listening to their citizens"!

The Harper Regime has seriously underestimated the amount of opposition that the construction of this pipeline will mobilize. This is going to blow up in our fearless leader's face just in time for the next election in 2015 -- not a moment too soon.

If the people of a country find that their government is shoving things down their throats that they just can't take, then they always have the choice to get on their knees like good slaves...or start contemplating regime change.

Watch two young men bike and hike where this pipeline starts and ends at www.onethelinemovie.com and then www.pacificwild.org. This pipeline is the most insane idea to be put out by this Conservative government and they are saying that anyone that opposes the pipeline is a "radical"

Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.
Chief Seattle, 1854

When all the trees have been cut down,
When all the animals have been hunted,
When all the waters are polluted,
When all the air is unsafe to breathe,
Only then will you discover
You cannot eat money.
Cree Prophecy

Treat the earth well.
It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors
We borrow it from our Children.
Ancient Indian Proverb

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it

Thanks. Have been against pipeline extension for quite some time for environmental reasons. Trying to put pressure on Harper government by signing as many petitions against pipelines as I can find. Passing along this information to friends and family.

Thank You for posting this fantastic article by Andrew Nikiforuk! He gave more information than I have seen on this Endbridge Pipeline(s). I have signed many petitions about the Great Bear Rainforest, also against the Endbridge Pipeline and every one I could find, also I wrote letters to the Premier of B.C. and environment minister. I hope the First Nations hold them up in court for years, after all quite a lot of their land, their culture, their communities and livelihoods, are involved.! Our premier in Alberta is on the band wagon for this to happen, and I am so fed up with Harper and his Party for name calling activists. It is our right to speak out on something as important as this. Saved the whole story to pass on, with thanks Cal.

IMHO, the TRANSPORT of this dirty oil is NOTHING compared to the massive resources, energy and pollution involved in the EXTRACTION AND PROCESSING of the oil in the first place! Good grief... it's simply heartbreaking.
