And Who Exactly is Against the Pipeline?

Well yeah, I sure as hell don't want some of the stuff I have seen recently in my backyard.

You ought to stop burning that terrible fossil fuel.

Instead, you can take comfort in the tens of thousands of hectares that get flooded in your province.... No impact on the wilderness with that little situation, eh?

Rail networks haven't advanced since steam engines and cabooses (or is it caboose? Cabeese?) left the tracks

The Northern pipeline is opposed by most because of its location, running through pristine wilderness. The environmental impacts and the impacts on the lifestyle of the aboriginal people is all negative. There is not enough pristine wilderness left as it is. Use existing industrial corridors. But.... money, money, money... that is all anybody can think about, that and how much mindless consumerism it will allow them to indulge in.

Good thing you weren't around when they pushed through the railway.

Cliffy fancies himself as a modern day white Piapot.

I can understand where Cliffy is coming from but we have to keep things in perspective- the province is 770 miles from north to south and what are we talking about? a 50' easement?

NIMBY




Pristine once you look past the clear cuts, open pit mines and gill nets strung across all the rivers that are backed-up by massive hydro projects.

NIMBY with a steady government cheque.

Billions of tons of food grow wild in pristine wilderness that very few even know exists. People lived in this wilderness for thousands of years without all the crap that we consider necessary today. The forest is a grocery store that nobody uses because we are too busy destroying it to buy crap we don't need.

Are you ready to give up your truck and computer?
