Looks like JT has got better smarts on this issue than Thomaas Mulcair...

Justin Trudeau Praises Alberta Premier Alison Redford On Keystone

Though what he meams by saying the Conservatives haven't done enough is a mystery.

If you want to know his stance on foreign trade and resource development which is the same as Harper's read Canadian Business magazine interview of Trudeau.

But if your shtick is hair, you'll miss that.

I envy anyone who's got a full head of hair. :mrgreen:

Are side burns still in? That's what makes it or breaks it for me.

It was pretty clear to me. His reputation as an environmental laggard has hindered his ability for the industry to get their oil to the markets they want.

I have burns down to my lobes. I don't care if they are in. I also have a handlebar mustache. Next week they could be gone. Last fall I had mutton chops. What difference does it make? In my avatar I had a mullet with a pony tail (but back then it was called an attitude).

Oil sands are a go with Trudeau. Now what?

Alison Redford not shaving her sideburns.

Well then, no matter how smart you are, or how good your team of advisors are or how sincere your intent, I wouldn't vote for you solely because of the sideburns.

No, but I hear she bleaches her 'stache.

I'm not running. I have more integrity than that.

Oil sands are a tough sell inthe US and Europe. One way to mitigate that is to take the environmental effects seriously. That didn't happen. The Conservatives treat the environment as a communications file: hire spin doctors to cloud the issue and make it look like you're doing something. The Conservatives actually gotten better on the oil sands, but they had to get forced into it.

The mining portion of oil sands is nearing completion, the other 80% will be extracted in situ.

There is nothing you can do to stop any of it especially after 35 years notice of what was going to happen after Liberals kicked it all off.

This is a tri-partisan thing with even NDPQ Unions investing right along with foreigners.

Really? I did not know that. I thought they still had decades of mining up there. There has beena shift to shale gas though--that's starting to catch on in BC. Probably Alberta too.

The environmental impacts can be mitigated to varying degrees. Obviously, as with any mining project, you're chaning the landscape and local hydrology on a geological time scale, so impacts related to that are difficult to treat. Others, such as a lot of air pollution, and low hanging fruit with respect to CO2 emissions, are easier to fix.

Ah, the frivolity of voters - caring more for hair than for policy. Maybe the politicians are right when they play in sound bites to the lowest common denominator. {/joke}

You have a lot to learn about what your fighting but you're too fixated on the fight rather than the facts you need to fight with.

I don't think you understand my position, or what I'm fighting. You may be making unwarranted assumptions.

Speaking of unwarranted assumptions....
