Been away for a while. Has everyone realized that the anti-pipeline squawk on Canadian oil has been funded by American businessmen who have two major agendas: 1) ensure Canadian oil doesn't make it to tidewater (because Canada would get more for it overseas) 2) keep Canadian oil landlocked and therefore piped to US refineries. Because the oil can't get to tidewater and therefore no competition, the US gets Canadian oil at a discount.
All the good people who have legitimate concerns are merely pawns in a high finance poker game. They have done a great job, killing pipelines to Eastern Canada (for some reason it's "safer" to float huge tankers from the Middle East to those refineries. I guess it's better to fund regimes with atrocious human rights records) and the Northern Gateway (Trudeau killed that one despite it already receiving approval).
Or, instead of all the distraction, we could just work on getting off the damn needle and start helping to help clean up the planet. That's all I care about. It's hypocritical to complain about pipelines if we aren't willing to at least try and get off that drug called oil.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Yeah, it's all a money grab, isn't it. Money money money, everybody grabs the money. But the health of the planet, respect for sacred lands? Do any of them care? Nah.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Since Keystone and two Canadian pipelines (gateway, Energy East) were stalled by big money to support US oil interests, the US has built 19000 miles of oil pipelines! While everyone has been squabbling over our attempt to earn what we deserve from our resource, your government has quietly went about building a whack of pipelines and NOONE is protesting them.
you wonder why some Canadians are pissed off? Some people have mortgages and families just like you. The crosshairs are pointed squarely on thEoilsands and quite respectfully sir, it is unwarranted.
These protests are are hurting good, law abiding, hard working Albertans. We support the move to renewable energy, but it can't happen overnight. Thwarting three pipelines won't change the world.

you guys do want you want with the oil that comes from your soil, as long as you keep it on your soil.
and its simply false that there were no protests related to pipelines here. Dakota Access is a MAJOR one that comes to mind.....
and correct me if I am wrong but since trump swore th oath to put business above all else, why hasnt the canadian company who was seeking to build the fucking going ahead with it now? oh THATS right, current GLOBAL prices dont allow for it to be done and make a profit.

The U.S. State Department must conduct a new environmental review for the Keystone XL
crude pipeline, a federal judge ruled, dealing a blow to a project
supported by President Donald Trump in his first few days in office.
U.S.
District Court Judge Brian Morris in Montana sided with indigenous and
environmental groups in ruling Wednesday that a revised Keystone route
is “interdependent” on the larger pipeline project and requires one
environmental review.

Anyone care to ask the google machine which is the cleanest way to transport oil?
That's not the issue, Lersxt. Read through the thread and you see what I mean.
Yes they built it partly on Indian land. But it’s still the cleanest way to transport oil or nat gas, and cleaner than the non pipeline fuel, coal. By a lot.

Yeah, but the issue is that Keystone XL was built to transport oil from Canada to the US and that most of it is for export and the damn stuff would not have spilled anywhere if the damn thing hadn't been built. This is why we (particularly through efforts made by the 350.org organization) resisted and fought against XL for so long, The issue here is that this should never have happened.

But if the pipeline had not been built, would they have not just used a different method? A method less clean and equally or more prone to accidents?

OPEC plays its part in this too.

Yup. I told them not to build the damn thing. D'ya think they'd listen? Heeeeeel no.
