My fellow Canadians, you are buying into a lie regarding our energy industry and the global environment.
We are a mere 35 million people, just 0.5% of this planet's 7.3 billion population.
Our country covers roughly 10 million square kilometres of which probably 90% is realistically uninhabitable (explaining why over 80% of our population live in urban centres within 200 kms of the U.S. border) We endure temperature extremes ranging from -40C or colder to 35C or warmer.
Out of necessity we need to heat our homes for 6+ months the year.
We face major transportation challenges simply because of the geography of our country.
Yet, through all this we are responsible for less than 0.5% of the pollution generated globally.
We ARE NOT the problem!
If every one of us here in Canada chose to sacrifice ourselves for the betterment of mother earth and self terminated, the positive effect on the global environment would be.....drum roll please......zero!
The global effect would actualy be negative because we are one of the most ethical, environmentaly responsible producers of energy in the world!
If we were out of the picture the U.S. would be mining our oil sands before our corpses had even started giving off methane gas.
They would then proceed to build the biggest pipeline imaginable, from Fort Mac to Texas.
Don't believe me? Lets look at some facts.
The U.S. has no problem with pipelines, U.S. pipelines that is.
They actually have over 3.2 'million' kilometres of liquid petroleum and natural gas pipelines already.
There's also the 1300 kilometre, 122cm (48 inch) line running from Prudhoe Bay to the Valdez Marine Terminal (yes, big bad oil tankers).
You are aware, aren't you, of the Trans Alaskan pipeline running directly through the pristine heart of that beautiful state? As of 2010 16 'BILLION' Barrels of oil had been transported through this U.S. pipeline and terminal. The U.S. also has no problem drilling for oil in the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean, the Arctic ocean or the Gulf of Mexico yet they have the audacity to condemn Canada for mining our oil sands in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan?
