As a former Albertan, I remember Pierre Trudeau and his National Energy Program. Albertans, I gather, still speak of the NEP with great disdain and bitterness.
Consider these startling similarities between the Northern Gateway pipeline and Trudeau's scheme:
One province is told (not asked) that they should take a major hit "for the good of the country."
The province directly affected is not consulted, and concerns put forth are met with arrogance from the government and hints that opponents are not true Canadians.
Exactly.
BC Cons are starting to see the writing on the wall:

Gordon Campbell betrayed BC and the people, by working for Harper. Campbell thieved and corruptly sold, BC's assets and resources. Harper and Campbell, signed up a sneaky underhanded deal. Harper can force the Enbridge pipeline and the dirty tar tankers, onto BC against the BC citizens wishes.
ReplyDeleteHarper and Campbell also forced the HST onto the BC people. Campbell was rewarded by Harper, for doing his dirty work for him. Campbell's prize was, the High Commissioner, to England post.
Now Harper has placed another of his Conservative henchmen, Boessenkool in with the BC Liberals. Boessenkool works for Harper and lobbies for Enbridge.
Van Dongen a BC Liberal, has gone over to the BC Conservatives. The BC Conservatives, support Harper's Enbridge pipeline and the dirty oil tankers.
They are all one and the same party, all in with Harper. They have interchangeable parts or, one size fits all.
Over 75% and counting, BC citizens are supporting the F.N. to stop the atrocities of the Enbridge pipeline and the dirty oil tankers. This is a huge threat, to the F.N. food sources. Harper, Campbell, Christy, Alberta nor China, have said one damned word about the threat to the F.N. food. It's bad enough, Harper and Campbell permitted, filthy diseased fish farms, that are killing off the wild Salmon. The Salmon too, are a food staple for the F.N. And, neither Harper nor the BC Liberals, gives a dam.
