Multinational Oil Companies have a $200 billion dollar stake in ripping tar out of the Alberta North and they’ve allocated $100 million dollars to see the pipeline gets approved through the regulatory process (PR Campaigning).
They are busy in the Main Stream and Social Media spinning their lies and deceit to hide the fact that Northwestern BC will assume an unacceptable risk with this pipeline. Foreign Big Oil is interested in making Canada a compliant third world Petro State and they’ve already gone a long way to achieving that.
Sad to say, I have more faith in Ducks Unlimited who are one of the foreign radical environmentalist organizations than I have in Radical Joe Oliver and his boss. As Jesus pointed out, the fix is already in with Our Dear Leader and his ministerial puppets.
The only way for us to reclaim our country is to educate ourselves on the issues. You don’t do this by convenient and easy to digest 20 second sound clips and PR releases from industry front organizations.

[quote=“Terry Glavin Ottawa Citizen”]But if we’re seriously supposed to be going all villagers-with-torches about foreign outfits with weird ideologies undermining Canada’s national economic interests, let’s review what’s really going on, shall we?
The $5.5-billion Enbridge pipeline project is all about sending Alberta bitumen in huge oil tankers to China. Beijing’s own state enterprises are among the project’s major backers, and Beijing has been buying up Alberta’s oilpatch at such a dizzying pace lately it’s hard to keep up. In the spring of 2010, China’s state-owned Sinopec Corp. took a $4.65-billion piece of Syncrude. Then the China Investment Corporation, which is run by the Chinese Communist Party, took possession of a $1.25-billon share of Penn West Petroleum. Last summer, the Chinese National Offshore Oil Corporation gobbled up Opti Canada for $2.34 billion. And so on.
Then, last month, Sinopec spent $2.2-billion to take over Daylight Energy Ltd., and last week, Petro-China, with the final push of $1.9 billion, became the owner and manager of the MacKay River oilsands project. This is what Ottawa doesn’t want you noticing.
Until now, Beijing’s strategy has been to fly under the radar by taking only pieces of oilsands ventures and to murmur occasionally about bringing in Chinese workers or pulling up stakes altogether should they hear too much backchat. Now, everything’s changed. Sinopec’s Daylight deal was a first: it was a complete takeover of a Canadian oilsands company by a Chinese state corporation. The MacKay River deal was a first, too, but in a bigger way: when the McKay project is up and running in 2014 it will be a full Chinese show, with a boss that answers directly to Beijing. The thing is, nobody in Ottawa wants to have a serious conversation about any of this.[/quote]
