UPDATE: Why Isn't This Getting Wider Coverage?

While this story seems most timely and relevant, given the ongoing Council of the Federation meeting discussing pipeline growth, I couldn't even find a reference to it in this morning's Toronto Star. It should be front-page news.







UPDATE: Here is a live update from Nexen. One of the most interesting revelations is that the pipeline responsible for the spill is brand new, set up in 2014.

  1. Hi Lorne. I'm not sure , but isn't Nexen one of the companies China bought?

  2. The trade agreement Harper signed in secrecy , you know the one that bypasses Canadian law and where they can charge the Canadian tax payer for loss of profits, should be interesting to see in action. Do pipeline spills cause loss of profits? I think they do,

    1. I think those laws primarily apply to legislation that can compromise corporate profits, Pamela. In our brave new world, investor rights take precedence over citizen rights.

    2. But it's the citizens who pay.

    3. Always, Pamela, always, at least in Harperland.
