Or a day without a computer crash. Who knows how much information is just dumped out into the environment every time this happens.
Virtual pollution.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet must decide by midnight tomorrow whether to approve the C$6.5 billion ($6 billion) pipeline, which would carry diluted bitumen from Alberta's oil sands across British Columbia. Canada's petroleum industry is seeking measures to move landlocked crude to offshore markets with another proposed pipeline, TransCanada Corp's, Keystone XL, in regulatory limbo in the U.S.
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said signs point toward the federal government permitting Northern Gateway. "We're hopeful approval's coming," Wall said in a June 12 phone interview. "I'm reading the tea leaves and picking up on signals like everyone else."

What has any of that got to do with Northern gateway? None of that oil going through the pipeline is designated for Canadian markets.
You post the evil record of Enbridge so I broke it down from an alarmist image to what it all means and how little it works out to be. What I couldn't find was the number of bbls recovered from leaks that went back off to market.
No oil is being piped to Kitimat. It a different product altogether so a coot feather clogging oil spill is impossible.
You've already been paid. It's a done deal.
Hiyiyis are now cryiyis. No more excuses to not get jobs.
"It is a no-win politically. If they back off Northern Gateway it's a significant loss to their resource development. If they push forward, it's at great political risk to the future of the Harper Conservatives," says University of British Columbia political scientist George Hoberg about the pipeline that is supposed to carry oilsands crude from Alberta to waiting tankers on British Columbia‛s remote north coast.
Northern Gateway decision holds no easy political options for Harper

There is little political risk on this. BC does not support Harper in any meaningful way and the jobs and bennies that they will be able to deliver throughout the East will offer even more support for them
Harper has a great deal of support in BC. Even on our leftarded island there are several con MPs. Perhaps more correctly they voted against the Liberals but there is still significant support for the pipeline and the jobs it will create. More so outside of Vancouver and the retirement/welfare hotspots.
Stephen Harper faces B.C. backlash during 2015 election if Northern Gateway pipeline approved: poll | Financial Post
Forty-seven percent of respondents said they’d be less likely to vote for Harper’s Conservative Party if the government approves the project, including 19% of those who said they supported Harper in the 2011 elections. Among the 32% who didn’t declare how they voted, respondents were five times less likely to support the Conservatives than back them if the pipeline is approved, the survey found.

A survey of 500 people translates into what the majority in the province think? That is not even enough to represent the margin of error. Must be from the same people that predicted a NDP landslide in the last provincial election.
The project I am working on has five times as many people working than the entire survey group and the vast majority expect to be working on pipelines and related infrastructure when this job is completed.

I appreciate the correction... I guess that I overgeneralize with the attitudes of the Lower Mainland being the only voice in the Province.
Yeah, I know... That is short-sighted
You're bound to get those kind of results when you set-up the poll-location at a Liberal convention
According to the people that run the poll. As I recall the one that predicted a NDP majority was less than that. And we all know how that one turned out.
If by Liberal convention you mean BC residents.
Anecdotal argument.
Talk to taxslave on that issue... I have already made my over generalization and am now of a more reasonable understanding.
Taxman only hangs out in logging camps and only thinks of his own wallet. The vast majority of BC residents are against this and a go ahead will have dire consequences both at the polls and on the ground. This will not end well for anybody if Harpo pushes ahead.
