Listening to Harper’s ministers spinning the Enbridge pipeline investigation is fascinating if not a wee bit scary. Money is talking and the ‘people’ are now “radicals”. Enbridge is spending vast amounts of $$$ on PR - I noticed that a local charity ride is sponsored by Enbridge. The Money has taken over American policies in the last 30 years, is that were Harper is taking Canadians? The new crime bill could mean “radicals” going to jail - Quakers among them, mind you, Quakers are well used to being carted off to jail for our beliefs.
Desmogblog is the ‘go to’ place for information on the latest government/oil spin.
