Northern Gateway Pipeline

Today, the federal government panel reviewing the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline to the west coast begins its public hearings. Over 4,500 people — including many foreigners, and even minor children — have registered to testify, just to gum up the procedure. Canada stands to gain thousands of jobs, ensuring economic prosperity for Canada for years. But, hold on, there's the various U.S. funded enviro groups that want to keep Canada as pristine as possible.
These groups threaten to hijack our regulatory system to achieve their radical ideological agenda,” said Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural Resourceses, who wrote in a public letter. “They seek to exploit any loophole they can find, stacking public hearings with bodies to ensure that delays kill good projects. They use funding from foreign special interest groups to undermine Canada’s national economic interest.” So, when he said this, the media responded in a way to act surprised at this. They're surprised?  Joe even used the word "Radical" to describe these groups. These groups are radical, and with they're biased "facts" in hand, they are blocking attempts to create increased wealth for many, many families and spin off benefits that will ensure increased employment for individuals and families. This process will stall the pipeline for at least 18 mos. We need this to be approved much sooner that that! And what about the MANY Aboriginals that are against(?) the pipeline. I know that wages from working on it FAR outweigh the benefits associated with hunting and fishing. EVERYONE needs to work, this then adds to their self-esteem, knowing that a person is PROVIDING instead of TAKING. What a concept.
