The game, called "Pipe Trouble," sparked controversy when it was first posted this week. The game quickly caught the attention of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne who is now looking into the situation.

Alberta Premier Alison Redford says she's glad the Ontario government is investigating.

Maybe the brainiacs at TVO can commission a game about how to stalk and kidnap children for their website ro replace the pipeline bombing game

 

[Spade]

Political hypocrisy, as blow-'em-up-fer-freedom video war games are perfectly acceptable in the private sector.

 

[captain morgan]

Great.. Then you should have no problem with TVO posting a free game about abducting kids and promoting it on their website

 

[Spade]

No, I oppose them all, as I am certain you do. What games did you get for Xmas?

 

[captain morgan]

I got a very special wine drinking game.... You?

 

[Spade]

A variation on Captain Crunch.

 

[captain morgan]

Unusual.... Does that mean you were exceptionally good last year, or perhaps you provided the gift-giver with a degree of confusion that lead to an equally confusing game?

 

[petros]

No, I oppose them all, as I am certain you do. What games did you get for Xmas?

Boggle.

Makes sense, right?... After all, blowing-up pipelines with oddles of oil/gas/bitumen in them that will burn really dirty and spew all manner of (evil) CO2 into the atmosphere is the best medicine for ole Mother Gaia

You are not too bright. The idea is to stop it from being built in the first place to avoid environmental damage.
I guess I should have used purple ink for the sarcastically challenged.

The unknown author (and yourself included) didn't realize that along with Govt, Media and Police, the Environmental Movement is one of their products too.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been.

You've been fighting the pipeline, filling in time

provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.

You bought a guitar to punish your ma,

And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,

So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream.

You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,

He always ate in the Salad Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.

So welcome to the machine.

... But the eco-damage that results in you getting the social safety-net for your comfort is A-OK, eh? It's not environmental damage when it puts cash in Cliffy's pocket.

Notice how there is the absence of purple ink in the above comment.... Is there a specific print color at CC that denotes hypocrisy?

Playing a video GAME will make us all terrorists. I got Assassins Creed III for Christmas and I killed 3 people with my sword already.

Games are great training tools.
