Are we against the pipeline or against the mining and using the tar sands?

Will the tar sands still be mined and used even if the pipeline isn't built?

Who gave the permits to mine the tar sands?

Is there any hope of stopping the mining and using the tar sands?

Is the fight against the pipeline just symbolic?

Why aren't we spending the time and money seeking divesture which proved very effective in the apartheid fight in S. Africa?

Rereading everything on this thread tells me the issue is the increased speed of using the tar sands would allow more Carbon build up faster.

Got it...Thanks.
