Pro-Canada bias livingdeb January 29 2017, 03:22:17 UTC

I knew that pro-Canadian bias was especially ignorant. Gizmodo's What the U.S. Can Learn From Canada's Battle with an Anti-Science Government has removed that bias for me on this issue ( ... )

Hey Debbie, sorry I'm late to the game here. I'm obviously against the pipeline too and angry that it looks like it will succeed. I did want to point out about the Canada thing that besides the anti-science attitude of the former govt there (most of us Progs love Trudeau) there is also the point that Canadians do NOT want any pipelines running across their country. They could have had this pipe run to the west coast, but they knew it would never be approved by the affected provinces nor accepted by the majority of citizens. So what the hell, send that nasty crude thru the US. So the Canucks are not as clean as we often believe.

Interesting. I never knew that. So this is at least the third idea on where to route the pipeline.

I'm always happy to read a reply--it's never too late! Thanks!
