The provincial government can put an end to it in various ways so it can easily be stopped if the next BC government wants to stop it.

Why would Enbridge, or anyone else, lay a pipeline to a Canadian refinery when they already have plenty of those right where they are. Crude oil is what China wants.

Ordinary, law-abiding people who have never had a run-in with the law are vowing to take part in mass, non-violent civil disobedience and force Enbridge/Alberta/Harper to haul them off to jail - again and again.<br />With each son or daughter, father or mother, grandfather or grandmother who gets slammed up, there'll be their own daughters and sons, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers stepping up to take their place and overwhelming the state security apparatus. I know I'm going. If the rest of Canada won't stand up for British Columbia, I'll not have much interest in remaining Canadian - that deal will be broken.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-78186175803758763112012-08-20T13:02:09.328-04:002012-08-20T13:02:09.328-04:00Looks like the rich want that pipeline...

He knows the study can't be done in that length of time. This as usual, is the Harper way, to cheat to win. <br /><br />Harper reminds me of Putin. This country is not safe with Harper either.<br /><br />The citizens of BC, are 80% supporting the F.N. We will fight Harper, even if we die trying. We must stop the atrocities of the Enbridge pipeline and the dirty tar tankers. BC must not be the conduit, for Communist China's easy access, to get the dirty Bitumen. Just the stink of the tar sands, is making people ill.<br /><br />The people of the world, don't want to have to wear respirators and face masks, as they do in China.
