..i don't see any evidence that we have any option in the matter. harper just appointed a pipeline consultant to the neb. canada is not being given an option. the die is cast. the global resource extraction group want it the way they want. if they don't get it that way they will just apply more pressure. the ndp will not control global forces. i've been listening to see if they condem the appointment but so far i haven't heard. it didn't come up in debate. and there's this: Canada’s premiers agreed to a master energy and climate change plan July 17. It’s specific on fast-tracking pipelines, but “aspirational” on climate action.
eta: no option other than resistance.
