Shut Down The Oil Sands! They Shout!

Funny how the environmentalists yap about big oil granting so much money to the "deniers" and fail to tell us where their money is coming from. Here is a group that is taking a complaint about the oil sands to NAFTA. Notice that the government of Canada has actually given them money. Taxpayer money going to try to shut down the oil sands? Now this is a real scandal!

Canada faces NAFTA complaint over oil sands

In the latest move in a long-running campaign to highlight the impact of oil sands development, the submission by Environmental Defence Canada, Natural Resources Defense Council and three citizens charges that toxic tailings ponds are being allowed to leak and contaminate ground water.

So, Canadian environmental groups are trying to get NAFTA to shut down the oil sands. Where do they get their money? Take a look:



Industry Canada and Public Works Canada.....that's our tax dollars being used to sue the Canadian government. Also notice TD Friends of the environment. Want to see the board of directors?


That Suzuki guy gets around now doesn't he! Environmental Defence's Annual Report is interesting in that they provide no details about how they spent the money.




Wow! How did they increase their revenues so quickly? I don't know, their annual report is more of a propaganda report than it is a financial report. How do they get away with that? Can we send Sheila Fraser in to audit them? They did get federal money, so she should be allowed to determine how they used it.

Cut off the money NOW! If the City of Toronto wants to give them money, fine, but they should get NO federal tax dollars. If they keep up their attacks against the economic engine of Canada, they just might get their wish. I would love to shut down the oil sands for as long as it takes to make both eastern Canada and the US lefties to scream uncle. It would be payback for Trudeau and the NEP.

Maybe Environmental Defence should worry about the pollution of Toronto, all those smog alerts can't be good, but living in Alberta I couldn't tell you because we have never had a smog alert. So who are the polluters? You know all those people, six million isn't it, all crammed into one small area in Toronto, the pollution from that many people is a huge problem. Maybe Environmental Defence could look into that, oh and while they are at it, maybe they could pressure McGuinty to close down Nanticook, which spews more pollution than all of the oil sands development. I guess econuts don't sh*t in their own houses. How about they go to China and protest all the polluting coal plants they are building. Right, I thought not, they love communists and hate Canada, why else would they sue Canada with taxpayer funds?

I want to know how big the grants are from Industry Canada and Public Works, and who authorized it. Cut Environmental Defence's grants TODAY!

Lawyer's Creating Work!

All of a sudden the oil sands are "the most destructive project on earth". Who says so? Environmental Defence. They are so stupid and behind the times that they call the oil sands, "tar sands".

"The enormous toxics problems go hand-in-hand with massive global warming pollution and the impending destruction of a boreal forest the size of Florida," the report says in its introduction.

Group spokesperson Matt Price blames Ottawa for failing to enforce federal environmental laws.

"I think there's sort of a conspiracy of silence, especially on the part of the federal government, with regards to the tar sands," Price said, "because there's an agenda to expand it dramatically over the next 10 to 15 years."

Hello Price, the oilsands are NOT man-made, they have been around for centuries, and the "tar" has been leaking into our water for as long as they have been around. Impending destruction of a boreal forest. Trees are being planted there after the oil is removed from the sand, they have a much better chance of growing there after extraction of the oil, then they did before, but hey don't let that stop the fear mongering.

Maybe this will help people understand how immense our oil reserves are (Watch the video, it's a bit cheesy but it shows how huge the oil sands really are.), but I doubt a Toronto environmental group of lawyers really cares for facts.

Never heard of Environmental Defence here in Alberta, so who has the agenda?

Environmental Defence, (Honourary Board member, David Suzuki) leads to:
Pollution Watch, which leads to:
Canadian Environmental Law Association, which leads to:
Environmental Law Centre (Alberta). Notice that some of the friends listed are, Imperial Oil and Petro Canada.

Holy, these organizations are like salmon, they keep spawning different versions of themselves.

What this comes down to, is lawyers making up projects, and fear mongering to get work. Ambulance chasers, or in this case, Environment chasers.

You know something stinks when environmentalists and lawyers join up together.
