Will the tankers coming into the sodium fluoride contaminated waters be any less than the US standard?I believe that Canada should regulate its own waters, not rely on an industry group to self-regulate.
I wish people would spend as much time and energy working on a solution to the problems instead of just being hell bent on thwarting the project. What in hell is the use of being able to sit on your veranda looking at the pristine wilderness and breathing air and drinking the pristine water, if you have no food on the table and the bank is knocking your door down?
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.
Pristine? Yeah f.cking right.
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.I wish people would spend as much time and energy working on a solution to the problems instead of just being hell bent on thwarting the project.

Ohhhh that pristine wilderness.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.
What pristine wilderness, air and water? You have reverted to reading Disney in your golden years?
Whew! I thought you went moonbat on us.You ever hear of playing "Devil's advocate"? -
You are right. There is not much left because humans have destroyed most of it to build their civilization that will eventually choke them to death in their own excrement.Ohhhh that pristine wilderness.
NIMBY
