By all means, every good Canadian should be ready and willing to ensure that an American pipeline company (risen from the ashes of the Enron debacle) and the nationalized Communist Chinese oil industry can  realize obscene profits from the exploitation of the Canadian tarsands. 

Despite the risk to our environment, several endangered species, the rights and the viability of First Nations communities, and the BC economy in general, all good BCers should suck it up so that a bunch of roughnecks can continue to make payments on their gas guzzling pickup trucks, ATVs, ghastly suburban homes, etc. 

Funny, I don't recall a national outcry (or any help whatsoever from Alberta or Ottawa) as tens of thousands of BC forestry workers and commercial fishermen lost everything when our major BC industries collapsed. 

Or is this really all about the collusion between a one-term premier and one term prime minister?  National interest, my azz.
