What makes you think energy companies making energy and selling energy is something I'd disapprove of?

Loose screws?

The fact is that spills will not be cleaned up.

That is how it works.


Oh Hoid! How is it that your vaunted LIE-berals with their dedication to fir play and our environment are not all over that spill- furiously mopping up?


Could it be they are ALL TALK- and most of it NONSENSE?


And how is it that LIE-berals seem to be so powerless to impose honest maintenance schedules on pipeline companies?


And WHAT DO govt Hog pipeline inspectors spend their day on? Playing cards?


Or are they as effective in their work as the propane inspectors who shuffled their feet and "tut-tutted" at Sunrise Propane till the place disappeared in a large fireball?


Its bad enough that civil service union Hogs get such gobs of gravy but the really idiot part of their position is HOW LITTLE THEY DO IN EXCHANGE!

based on current seat ratios- the next govt is quite likely to be Green Party AIRHEADS


On the plus side giving Greens a chance to FULLY DEMONSTRATE how truly crazy they are- in a province I do not live in sounds almost like a good idea!


Let the Left Coast be the trial Bunnies for Green Madness!

Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. They are going to jump from 3 seats to 44 in one fell swoop! (I wouldn't drink or smoke any more of what you have been doing, as it obviously f**ks up your head!) :lol:

If it actually leaked that long and having that small of an impacted area seems to say that the leak was extremely small, and being underground, would be virtually impossible to detect until it surfaced. Not even modern leak detection tools would record a leak that small.

Pipeline leaking from 1968 to 2004- what is the problem with that Hoid?



Its just our vaunted and beloved gravy grabbing civil service union Hogs dedicated to the job as usual!


After all every province has a well paid Ministry of Environment!

This leak stuff is ALL elementary math- that LIE-berals are IGNORING! Oil companies have done a cost analysis and made a deliberate choice about how often they will maintain their pipelines -and how much leakage they will tolerate!



Small leaks get ignored till the cost reaches a certain point- then repairs are made!


Hypocrite LIE-berals understand this but cannot be bothered RAISING the fines for owning a leaky pipeline!


Cdns generally think that LIE-beral carbon crap and trade taxes are insane- but they do not object to TIGHTER RULES and larger penalties for SLOBS spilling oil!

OHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very clever and completely useless!


SO its classic LIE-beral BS!



Cdns would much prefer to dispose of LIE-berals than their oil using machines!


So why dont LIE-beral hypocrites take action to limit oil leaks?


Oh right- LIE-berals prefer to make us buy their electric Toy cars instead- because of all the gravy LIE-berals expect to earn from their electricity SCAMS!


On the plus side- LIE-beral policy has now been exposed as so fully screwed up that we can expect that Our idiot Boy Justin will be a one term wonder PM!
