With the Government’s approval of Enbridge’s $7.9-billion Northern Gateway Pipeline, the project has jumped a critical hurdle that could easily see construction start as early as the fall of 2015.
What does this mean for the environment though? With the status of humpback whales being changed from crucially endangered to meh, they’ll be fine, just so that the pipeline can cut through their mating grounds, and the ridiculously high risk of oil spills….Our government clearly doesn’t care about the environment at all. Something has to be done about this, and the way our government works.
Hi Liam,
Isn’t it amazing how big business can jump these hurdles, while getting tax breaks too!
I think you meant to say something else besides:
Our government clearly doesn’t give a d*** about our government.
What don’t they care about, the environment, public opinion? (And perhaps another word besides the one I edited could be used?)
Hope you are enjoying your early summer!
