Most of Canada’s petro-critics seem to live in a sort of dream world, and imagine that global warming can be defeated tomorrow if only they prevail in their propaganda campaign against the oil sands.

Canada’s conservative newspaper attacks environmentalists in a vicious, must read editorial today.

Looks like there’s a big activist strategy session today with over 100 meetings by environmentalists looking to stop the Keystone XL Pipeline. Looks like most are online sessions and others are meet-ups. There’s a conference on Dec. 5th as well. Interesting times. HIGH RES

3 Security Concerns with the Keystone XL Pipeline ›

This piece is a bit over-dramatic, but interesting points to think about. I believe the second point, that the oil will skip US markets, is false.

EthicalOil.org argues Canadian oil tar sands are the better choice over Saudi Arabian oil. The reason? Canada has better human rights and quality of life.

Alberta's biggest oil spill in 30 years is a call to action for Canadians ›

1.2 million gallon oil spill in Canada. 2nd spill in a week. 100 people cleaning it up. Compare to 30 million in the BP leak; 10 million in Exxon Valdez.

Sutton Eaves, David Suzuki Foundation:

When it comes to oil spills, the question is never if but when and how bad.

At least 4.5 million litres of oil have spilled across part of the Peace River watershed in northern Alberta. It’s the biggest crude oil pipeline spill in that province since 1975, and it’s being described as “a major, major spill involving a significant amount of product” by provincial regulators, who took five days to announce Friday’s spill to the public. Incidentally, it was also the second pipeline spill to take place in Alberta last week.
