Thomas Mulcair, being "Thomas Mulcair"....

Like hell it is, my family has had a small piece of the patch for decades, there's a huge difference between drilling and pumping oil from a reservoir and STRIP MINING hundreds and eventually thousands of square kilometres before eventually going underground to get as much of the rest of it they can.
You obviously don't have a clue about the issue.
I don't hear you bitching about the strip mined copper, iron, tin, nickel, bauxite, silver, gold and oil sands plastic that is giving you the ability post nonsense on the inter web.
I'm kinda interested about hearing how NOT mining the sands will magically make the bitumen that is at surface and through the aquifers magically go away.
I understand that. But your claim was proven wrong.
You've yet to provide anything of any material nature to refute that, other than rhetoric and unsubstantiated anecdote.
I'm sure you have lots of issues that I'm not aware of.
The east and west divide has always been there and always will be.
Mulcair looks at the electoral map like anyone else. Ontario and the
Province of Quebec are front and center when it comes to seats and
therefore he is going to appeal to those voters at times.
What really needs to be done is turn this into a public discussion nationally
rather than a debate. We face a much bigger problem that a few politicians
making comments. This sector of our economy is getting a black eye all
over the world. The reason is we are not all on the same page.
I for one don't like the funding from a world trade point of view. I believe
there should be a reserve for national future use, and we should pay slightly
less that foreign countries. Natural resources should never be part of a free
trade deal with anyone.
I think the current Premier of Alberta is moving in the direction of bringing
various parts of the country together and begin the discussion. Harper is not
being helpful in the way he wants to stifle debate that has real value in the
decision making process and Mulcair is not being helpful when it comes to
keeping the discussion a national one rather than appealing to regional factions,
If we don't do this right, we will all lose something rather than gain.
To suggest Harper is secure in government is not correct either, the is Canada
and what looks fine politically on Tuesday has nothing to do with a week from
Friday. Remember Mulcair right now is ahead in the polls. Its a long way from
an election, but the seeds of discontent are being sewed.

I don't remember being asked.
Pollution is pollution, it's just that with the oil sands it's on a scale that is unprecedented with one project.
If you're still making your ridiculous claims then I doubt you understand the issues.
While Saudi oil production is much higher than the oil sands it's from developed fields that require only a fraction of the maintainance of oil sands production. You're comparing apples to oranges.
What do I need to prove?
It requires a massive movement of tar sands just to get the raw materails to processing plants and huge amounts of water and power to create synthetic crude, something that isn't required with conventional oil production. It also creates massive amounts of toxic talings.
Suzuki publishes The Comprehensive Handbook of Known Facts.... Just $39.99, sells it out of the back of his diesel bus
I think so, but Davey likes to use those old-school receipt books that makes 3-4 carbon copies of the document... Lots of extra trees in BC, so he isn't too worried.
There isn't one project.
Well there you go, you just confirmed you don't understand the issues, since I didn't make a claim, I posted evidence that simply disproved your claims.
No, I'm comparing your silly claims, with evidence that proves your claims to be wrong.
There you go again, no ability to follow along.
That still doesn't change the fact that there are other petroleum engineering projects that are far bigger than the oil sands. As I've already proven.
You've done nothing but made claims.
To those with cognitive disorder problems, if you can't accept the lessons provided by Econ 101 "demand drives up prices" and cannot accept Mulcair's assertion, how would you feel about a study that Mr. Harper asked Industry Canada to do?
That is all.
