The People of both nations have to take a stance before we are turned into a third world country by big buisness that continue to make more and more profit while the unemployed of both countries pay more and more for these goods that are made in sweat-shops abroad.

You will find that the area was not pristine wilderness at all. The tar sands was discovered because of the oil leaking into the Athabasca river. The claim that this is the worlds largest polluting endeavor is also nonsense. This is not one project but many. The tailing ponds are not all that big, they amount to a few square miles in area in total, There are areas in the USA and China that make this look like a kids playground.

If Canadian oil is so "detrimental" and bad what do you call oil from the middle east? its sad to think that Canadian oil gets labeled detrimental, especially when none of it was used to fund terrorist activities.

Turn the scientists and engineers loose on it. Humans need the energy, people need the jobs. We mustn't limit ourselves unnecessarily.
