I say that environment crimes of this (or actually lessor) magnitude are a crime against humanity, or nature. Of similar consequences as the Nuremberg tribunal of Nazi war criminals.

Pre-Harper days.

When talking with a Canadian friend then, I was asked why the US was so upside down. I said:

"Fortunately, you don't have anything Global Capital wants."

So wrong and so right in the same breath.

PS, Don't blush

And our government is pushing this ahead with full speed, changing laws, muzzling scientists and in complete denial of the damage it will cause.

This video should be seen by everyone in Canada and everyone in America who will be affected by Keystone XL.

Air pollution second only to Los Angeles - traffic is dominated by huge pickups and SUVs. The wanna-be "cowboys" riding around in their unloaded, six-wheeled phalluses would chuff at the claims of this video. "Friggin' Greenies!" they'd groan. And as long as the general attitude is like that, we're gonna chase down EVERY LAST DROP of dinosaur goo and send it skyward. It's just the 'murican - north 'merican - way!
