Well Mr. James Cameron, you just lost at least one sale on your newly released DVD, Avatar. I am adding it to my boycott of anything and anyone who seems to think that the Alberta oil sands are some kind of environmental disaster.
Let me help you out a little with your thought process on this one please. How did you feel when you heard of the Exxon Valdez spilling 270,000 barrels of oil along the coast of Alaska? It was pretty devastating, disgusting even. Those bastards! Big oil ruining the environment as always! How would you feel if you found out that there was an oil spill that made the Exxon Valdez look like a drop of grease in your kitchen sink? It happened and you don't know a damn thing about it. Why is that? It is due to the fact that mother nature made this mess herself. It is known as the Alberta oil sands and there is 1.7 trillion barrels of oil soaking in the ground in various area's in northern Alberta. That is equivalent to approx 629,629.63 Exxon Valdez disasters happening in a relatively small area. You would want that cleaned up wouldn't you? Well that is exactly what is happening. We are cleaning up mother natures oil spill and in the process we are salvaging 10% of that oil. It can be used for many of the everyday products you use every day. Plastics, fuel for your car or buses, are just a couple examples.
Now tell me again why the Alberta oil sands projects are a bad thing?

How do you spell hypocrisy?

Jim Prentice, Minister of silly talks
Jim Prentice, international poster child of outlandish accusations.
Here is a thought Jim. How about countering the bull being spewed by the environMENTALists with some truth and facts instead of appeasing the idiots.
PM Harper sure knows how to keep his voter base happy don't he... oh wait... What is this?... strike 34 or thereabouts? My back has far too many knives in it now. Unfortunately there is NO ONE else to give my support to. My vote is up for grabs by anyone who can deliver something close to an Alberta version of the BLOC. The exception being that the Alberta version are truly in it to separate and not just garner more money from Ottawa to pay for useless programs.

Who is this guy?
And what did he do with Eddie The Seagull?
Ed fed up with UN
Alberta eyes other oil buyers, Ed tells U.S.
"I'm not warning them, I'm just being frank," Stelmach said yesterday. "I'm just saying that we have options and will continue to pursue options."
This may change the minds of some U.S. politicians... Hopefully...
On Friday, The Wall Street Journal published a report that suggested closer ties between Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and rebels attempting to overthrow Colombia's government. Chavez has been linked to Colombian rebels previously, but the paper reported it had reviewed computer files indicating concrete offers by Venezuela's leader to arm guerillas. That appears to heighten the chances that the U.S. could impose sanctions on one of its biggest oil suppliers.
I am sure, most Albertans would much rather see our so called "dirty" oil go to the U.S. than anywhere else. I am also sure most Americans would rather buy our oil than from some slimy dictator...

Given the Evidence
Justice Danièle Tremblay-Lamer has ordered an environmental review panel to justify its decision to allow a $7 billion oilsands project in Alberta's north to go ahead.
[...] "Given the amount of greenhouse gases that will be emitted and given the evidence that the targets will not address the problem of greenhouse gas emissions, it was incumbent upon the Panel to provide a justification for its recommendation on this particular issue," Tremblay-Lamer wrote. [...]
What "evidence" does Justice Danièle Tremblay-Lamer have that the problem of greenhouse gas emissions, specifically CO2, is in fact a problem? What LAWS are currently in place in regards to greenhouse gas emissions that would justify Justice Danièle Tremblay-Lamer decision? I can give you the answer to both of those questions... NONE! This is clearly a case of a judge with an agenda. An ill informed agenda at that. It is no different than a judge convicting a person for something they may commit, perhaps, well maybe, at some point in time, in the future, be considered a crime. How ridiculous is that? May I remind Justice Danièle Tremblay-Lamer that the debate over AGW is not over. It has just finally begun in the mainstream of things. The so-called "deniers", like myself are starting to be heard and more often than not, the science is swaying to prove us right. Seems as though, strange as it may sound, that the earths climate is controlled by that big ball of fire in the sky and not us humans. Go figure...
Perhaps Justice Danièle Tremblay-Lamer should sit in on some of the seminars at The 2008 International Conference on Climate Change. She may learn a thing or two.

Pissing off enviroMENTALists, 200,000 barrels at a time
Suncor approves $20.6-billion oil sands expansion
Suncor Energy Inc. said Wednesday it will spend $20.6-billion on an expansion scheme that will make it the biggest producer in the oil sands of northern Alberta.
Suncor's board of directors gave the go-ahead for the Voyageur project, a 200,000 barrel-a-day expansion of the company's already massive oil sands operations near Fort McMurray. Voyageur will boost output to 550,000 barrels a day when complete in 2012. [...]
The project is the latest of more than $100-billion worth of plans to tap the oil sands to feed demand from U.S. refiners for Canadian oil. [...]
Production from the northern Alberta oil sands, the largest oil reserves outside of the Middle East, is expected to nearly triple to three million barrels a day by 2015. [...]
No recession here folks... nor for some time by the looks of it. Now if only we could get some living accommodations for all the people that we need to fill all the positions available. Alberta's new motto should be... "If you build it, they will come"

You Don't Say
With out any help from regulations that the Liberals never did impose on business, but are now screaming out for now that they have discovered just how GREEN they are under Mr. Dolittle Dion, Suncore Energy of the infamous Alberta Oil sands has been named one of the 10 "Green Giants" by Fortune Magazine.
Fortune wrote: “In a survey of 23 global oil companies last year, Jantzi Research, a Canadian consultancy, named Suncor a top performer, noting its environmental and greenhouse-gas management programs. Specifically, it has improved emissions intensity (the amount of oil it extracts per ton of greenhouse gases emitted) 25 percent since 1990. Ditto for energy, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Suncor is part of an initiative to develop carbon-capture techniques. And while Suncor hopes to double its production by 2012, its water management is so advanced that it expects to draw no additional water from Alberta's Athabasca River.”
What most people do not remember, is that although the all mighty dollar is very important to all business en devours, so is survival. Believe it or not, the investors of these company's live on the same planet as the rest of us and have an interest in keeping it as healthy as possible while making those bucks. It makes no sense to be rich and dead...
Candace posted some of the details on Suncor's reductions back on March 17th. Female intuition?
