I don't mind, but if you are reading the Toronto Sun (that right wing bastion of superior moral achievement), they are propagating the message that the pipeline 'agreement' is actually bull**** and nothing will happen.

The winds have changed on this in a big way.... Not so long ago, the response from the provinces was a flat-out 'no'. Today, on the other hand, not even a peep about pipeline safety or spills, etc, just the sound of the provinces counting the yet-to-be revenues from the work and integrated opportunities.

You mean the people who think they are special and have special rights even though we are all equal? Anything available to an injun is available to all of us.

This is the kind of thing that makes me happy:

Keepers of the Earth

A joint venture was launched in July 2014 by several of Alberta’s Metis Settlement communities and Active Energy Group Plc, an international timber products firm listed on the London Stock Exchange. It is being touted as a “template” that could help create economic independence throughout Canada’s Indigenous communities through commercialization of forestry assets. The establishment of the joint venture came after more than half a decade of interaction, negotiation and planning. Joint venture members and others gathered together in Edmonton’s Oasis Centre on January 27 to celebrate the recently formed KAQUO Forestry & Natural Resources Development Corporation (KAQUO FNRDC) and to participate in the company’s inaugural KAQUO Métis Settlements Economic Development Summit. (In the Cree language, KAQUO means ‘all of us’).

The corporation was formed to commercialize the natural resources on the Métis lands “in an equitable, environmentally responsible and culturally sensitive manner, and to encourage long-term sustainable economic development and employment within the Métis communities.”

Claim it on your taxes, fight it, get a rebate. Equality means equality if you don't make an effort to claim your equality, you won't get it or be able to maintain it.

Have they released any information on just what caused the rupture yet ? Seems to me I heard early on that it was a small hole, small hole like a centimeter or so, that leaked for a long time before being discovered but I haven't heard anything since. Must be some serious pressures involved to push that sludge along.
