Canadian Politics Redux

That St. Lawrence river waste water thing has be grossly misrepresented by people. That was done because it had to be done, and it was done in the most environmentally responsible way possible. People act like it was raw sewage dumped in the river out of convenience, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Do a little research. They handled that necessary work the best way possible. There weren't any other better options.

It was convenience ... typical politician do as I say not as I do.

No it wasn't convenience. Do some research. Some research outside of angry editorials. And I am a big champion of the environment, unlike you, so I'm not about to defend people for acting irresponsibly in this context. I looked into it because I was appalled and discovered the truth. It was handled the best way possible.

If the movement ever wants me on board with them, then the movement need to act more responsibly. not jumping up down and shutting down important hearings. Anyways we'll just have to agree to disagree. I do love how when I say the enviro movement can fuck it's self, a couple of you get your feathered ruffled...but Rex is not entitled to his opinion without a ... he can go fuck himself, and really your not likely to find many opposed to oil in fort mac...goes without saying I would think. I guess those so opposed to oil could go off the grid and live like 1850, except very few of you are willing to give up your convenience's.

Well, I guess it's that the "movement" and the particular people you are saying are jumping up and down aren't mutually exclusive. Environmental activists aren't always on the same page, and the organized environmental movement, i.e. the one where politicians are advocating for it, certainly can't be grouped in with random protestors. I'm not sure which "movement" you are referring to I guess, and encourage you not to clump everyone who cares about the environment together, as though someone in the NDP or Green Party who is invested in furthering government action on the environment and some 20 year old who protests at some hearing by screaming are in the same boat together. (that said, barring violence or destruction, I don't oppose environmental protests, even if they are on the more extreme side, because I place the environment before money. Period. I do NOT in any way support new pipelines. I will support properly maintaining old pipelines, but definitely not new ones. We should be reducing oil output, not increasing it).

Well good luck with the movement. I guess none of the enviro people are interested in living like 1850...

Pardon? I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean the opposite of what you wrote, then no, phasing out our reliance on oil is progress into the future, not moving backwards. New energy sources and technologies are the future man. Not oil. So I see no need to be building vast new infrastructure that is harmful to the environment in and of itself for a resource that is basically the dinosaur of the energy industry, right behind coal.

I got it from your 1850 comment with what I assumed was a typo... edit: now I am understanding what you meant, lol. Sorry! I misunderstood the direction you went with that comment! Duh!

Prime Minister visits mosque with terrorist ties:

Are we supposed to be mad or glad? I would think that this kind of thing could be a first step in dealing with the extremist problem, but only if Trudeau is aware of this connection and consciously hoping to do something about it somehow. If he's not, then it's most likely that his advisors are doing a really shitty job by choosing a mosque for him to visit without vetting it properly. I seriously doubt that he knew about these ties and just shrugged them off and pretended everything is okay as the person quoted in the article suggests.
