    How much more of a pain in the ass can the First Nations be? They make the Quebec government look good.

    Read be between the lines, just a play to set them up to get more money when they 'give in' and let the development happen.

    Greedy fucks.

    Looking like there ain't gonna be no western pipeline. I think the level of cynicism shown by the Conservatives on environmental issues has simply eliminated any trust people have in them to protect the environment.

    As if the Fates stepped in to prove my point.

    Metro News: Oil spill response ship runs aground en route to Vancouver news conference

    File this under oops: The largest oil spill response ship along B.C.�s coast ran aground on its way to an appearance at a news conference in Vancouver on Monday.

    According to Western Canada Marine Response, Burrard Cleaner No. 9 ran into a previously uncharged sandbar of Sand Heads.

    A WCMR spokesperson said the incident caused no damage and was reported to Transport Canada.

    The ship, with engines powered down, drifted off the sandbar within minutes.

    Allan Hughes, of the Coast Guard�s marine communications union, said it�s �astonishing� that federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver was touting the ability to deal with oil spills without noting how long it took for the best response boat to get to the area, Hughes said.

    The trip across the Strait took just over seven hours, but WCMR stressed the ship was travelling at cruising speeds � much slower than in the case of an emergency.

    There are three vessels capable of mopping up spills in and around the city�s harbours, but the Victoria ship is the most capable, Hughes added.

    It's their right to protest and to also remain impoverished.

    Next time they protest here in Edmonton, me and the boys were thinking of picketing the new Casino in Enoch, some cheque cashing places and a few liquor stores.

    I am sick and tired of Canada being blackmailed by a bunch of greedy people. When are we as a people going to quit being so god-damned nice and say shut the f*ck up and either grow with us or fade away. These natives lost their traditions with electricity and it has gotten nothing but worse. End the eras of perceived dependance and grow the fuck up!
