Due diligence rulez!

I think the irreversibility of an inevitable leak over the aquifer convinced me as well thanks to Ed's reporting. The pipes get old and deteriorate and corporations maximizing profits are unlikely to spend much money to replace them until it's too late. And once the aquifer is contaminated the oil companies can't clean it up.

Um, why can't Canada build a refinery of their own and a pipeline out to Vancouver?
