This deal isn't about "reducing the heat."
That's the whole issue about building a pipeline to burn another million barrels a day of toxic bitumen on top of the million barrels we added thanks to TMX.
This is a planet burner.
I was a big supporter of Charlie. Then along came Meidas Ca and with that came these headlines.
First -This isn’t a bad deal
Second - the leafs will win the Stanley cup before this pipeline ever gets built.
Third- It’s called reducing the heat - get to the table and let’s move on.
Danielle Smith just suckered Mark Carney into reviving the Northern Gateway pipeline.
This is the antithesis of "nation-building."
There is no economic, political or environmental case for Stephen Harper's dream.
This won't end well.
For Canada or Carney.

Spending political energy to massively increase pipeline production in Canada is not nation-building. It is planet burning.
