"Getting people living basically like we do in  Canada should be the priority" Tom, that is the problem when countries like Canada take everything and destroy the rest of the world. Our ecological footprint is so huge that (if we…

I'd certainly agree wholeheartedly that the politics of ethanol production makes it a tragic mistake. As well, sanitation for over a billion plus people  is a critical injustice to the poorest on the planet. "Making everyone rich…

Pipelines are the safest way to move oil. There are thousands of miles of large pipelines in Ontario alone, more if you count natural gas, etc - yet no one seems to be 'dying/sick/even noticing' them.  For the record, I don't…

I do agree with you that it should not have been 'barrels"; that is unfortunate but as you say, a lot of oil spilt plus the massive amount of contaminated water and soil that still has not been cleaned up. To say that pipelines are…

Using your number, (which is likely wrong by up to 50% or so,  and agrees pretty well with Enbridges number of 819,000 gallons), its still about 4 million LITRES not barrels, so thats an error of 168 TIMES in your article. I won't put…

Interesting that the amount of oil and the economic benefits is what you target.  Take a look at what the EPA had to say. "1,139,000 gallons of oil are estimated to have been contained in the contaminated waste streams generated by…

The amount of oil spilled in Michigan is exaggerated 200 times in this article. It was 3.3 million litres, not 4 million barrels.  Its perfectly legal for Oil to be moved by rail or truck through B.C. This will happen unless the pipeline is…

Cracking the Myths of the Methane Industry: Come out and see “Gasland”“Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a means of natural gas extraction employed in deep natural gas well drilling.

First Vegetarian Restaurant Review

Georgian Triangle’s first Review of Great Vegetarian Restaurants“Eating low on the food chain (i.e - vegan foods) ensures we are eating the least amount of toxins. Pollution carried around in the air and water gets concentrated 30 times in each animal that eats up the food chain. Even Organic meats are highly polluted because pollution is all around us. It is also a misconception that the vegan diet is more deficient than an animal foods diet. In fact, the fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and…See More

Tim DeChristopher addressed the court and the judge today. This is what he said:

Thank you for the opportunity to speak before the court. When I first met Mr. Manross, the sentencing officer who prepared the pre-sentence report, he explained that it was essentially his job to “get to know me.” He said he had to get to know who I really was and why I did what I did in order to decide what kind of sentence was appropriate. I was struck by the fact that he was the first person in this courthouse to call me by my first name, or even really look me in the eye. I appreciate this…See More
