Rex Murphy in defence of Canada’s oil sands

And when Canada joins the Gaia jet-setters at Durban’s Man-Bear-Pig celebration, maybe they should reconsider paying heed to any lectures coming from South Africa‘s leaders. (h/t)

Great catch, Natasha! Rex; the voice of reason.
Did you catch the piece, a couple of days ago, concerning the dilemma of the Aboriginal heavy equipment training plan having its Federal funding cut?
In the first place, let’s be clear, it’s doing a great job training young First Nations guys (and women?) as equipment operators for the mining industry here in B.C. They’re being hired as fast as the program can turn them out!
Secondly, as it’s industry specific, why isn’t the Mining industry funding the program?
Thirdly, Education is a Provincial responsibility, as is Resources. How did the Feds get sucked into this? I agree completely with their handing off the funding issue; where are the benefactors in this mess?

Re: that other issue. You ask some good questions — why isn’t the Mining industry funding it? Maybe the feds could offer them a tax break for funding the training…

If I remember correctly, Canada will be at the Durban conference to take notes only; there will be no official Canadian delegation and the observers will attend without participating.

Cheers

David Rutherford the talk show host in Calgary interviewed Megan Leslie via phone and the nonsense that came out of her mouth re to the oilsands and implications she made that it got subsidies was rudely interrupted by David who told that mis informed girl that the Oilsands receives no subsidies of any kind and continues to tell that empty head that the industries that work at the oilsands are heavily regulated in the world. She had no idea of our oilsands and the strict environmental rules they follow.
I blame the media, instead of they doing a proper job telling the true story behind the oilsands and the strict environmental it follows; they the media instead listens to empty headed people like Megan Leslie and some fool from Quebec who has no idea where Alberta is.
If the oilsands was in Quebec none of those bozos nor the media would dare make the mistake go overseas to any country to bash Quebec.
