Geez, Danny...maybe if you phone Mr. Harper and
get a little bit apologetic, you can get some Fed funding

Since 1997, the Newfoundland board has recorded 337 spills, which dumped an estimated 430,000 litres or 2,700 barrels of synthetic drilling fluids and other hydrocarbons into the ocean.

Where are the people that are concerned about the Alberta oilsands? Are oil spills only bad when they happen in Alberta?
