How about dealing with the FACTS therein, instead of mouthing arrogant platitudes??

Falsehood 3: Ours is untainted by conflict. Bitumen is so damn thick that it won't move through a pipeline without being diluted with light oil. Much of this condensate comes either from the U.S. or the Middle East. EnCana has even imported conflict oil from Pakistan to dilute its bitumen. But condensate is in such short supply on the continent that most future supplies will come from the Middle East. The National Energy Board estimates that Canada will have to import 346,000 barrels a day from conflicted places by 2020 just to move the so-called ethical stuff. Perhaps Canadian philosophers will soon debate what happens when a nation mixes ethical oil with conflict oil? And what bloated Saudi-like bureaucracy should we create to discern these differences?

Falsehood # 6:

EnCana has no oilsands production at present.... Clearly they have no need to import condensate from Pakistan to dilute something that doesn't exist.

Obviously Encana was just an example at the time of that writing 3 years ago.

And that still doesn't wash away your 'unethical' oil in the mix.

Instead of sodomizing with Saudis, we're just tapping third base.

Has that oh-so ethical ring to it.

Ezra should draft a poster.
