Canada Pipeline Politics

Canada’s TransCanada Corporation is seeking Government approval to move Tar Sands bitumen by pipeline from northern Alberta to a port on the country’s east coast.  The proposal envisions the conversion of an existing natural gas line to take the bitumen to and through the Province of Ontario.

Nobody seems to have noticed, but cities, towns and villages across the prairies and into Ontario will lose their critically required domestic supply of natural gas if this proposal is allowed to come to fruition.  These are the customers that made it possible to build the pipeline in the first place.  They {we} paid for it and in return were promised quiet access to natural gas, not exploding propane-thinned bitumen.

Greed and stupidity are the hallmarks of the end of this age.  Sad to have to freeze in the dark in one of the wealthiest energy producing countries in the world.
