Over 50 protesters have been arrested so far and now lawyers are trying to sue protesters for assault for making angry faces and saying mean things to the workers trying to survey the new pipeline through a conservation area.

I hope the protesters damage all their equipment and send those assholes back to texas. The fight is far from over. David Suzuki's nephew was arrested recently and the protests will be known around the world. The citizens don't want the pipeline and Harper has been bought and paid for. It's time for violence.

This is going to be a war,' says Burnaby mayor as 26 pipeline protesters arrested

As pipeline protesters clashed with police on Burnaby Mountain — leading to 26 arrests — Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said his government was ready for a “war” in the courts.

“This is going to be a war, and it’s going to be one that carries on for a number of years,” Corrigan said of the legal challenges his city has mounted in various levels of court, in attempts to stop Kinder Morgan’s work on Burnaby Mountain.

“The bigger argument that needs to be fought is: How much can the federal government impose its will on local governments and the ability of people to make local decisions? That’s really the quintessential issue that takes this beyond a merely local situation to being one that attracts interest from municipalities right across Canada.”

The US doesnt really need the pipeline. I'm not sure what the big fuss is all about and it won't even create that many permanent jobs.

Oh, and mercy bump

Wrong pipeline.

ETA: In fact, with the price of crude, the Canadians wouldn't build the Keystone XL pipeline now if they could.

In the states it's called eminent domain. In Latin, that means "we'll take that". You socialists should be "down with that".

If we were talking about keystone as per your canned talking points:

What is a "permanent job?"

You are too right...having oil pumped into our country from friendly neighbors (notwithstanding a few prominent assholes) instead of spending billions defending access to it in the middle east is a stupid idea.

From am environmental perspective so much better to generate a lot of carbon bringing it by tanker from half-way around the globe.

Whats not to like about "environmentalists" hopping into some SUVS and standing in the way of progress. Requiring more people in SUVS to drive up there and defend the surveyors.

A shame the Indians didn't kill Lewis and Clark.

Always best to advocate violence in the furtherance your your ideals.

1) They're Canadian asses that would get kicked, not Texan. It's a Texan company, with Canadian employees.
2) It's an expansion of a pipeline that's already there, and has been there, for quite some time. Not a greenfield build.
3) Good luck trumping the NEB

And conservatives should hate it. Funny how things go topsy-turvy depending on the issue involved.

Conservatives hate it when it is used for issues that are not for the actual, public domain such as specifically needing to cross land, ie railroads and roads. Using it for turning a muffler shop into an Ace Hardware is when we take issue with what should be a rare and necessary occurrence.

Seriously? What are "permanent jobs"? :rolleyes:

By "permanent job" it's meant that very few of the "many jobs" touted by it's cheerleaders that the Keystone XL construction would produce are temporary. meaning not lasting employment for American workers. Other than a few people monitoring for leaks after it's built the vast majority aren't "permanent jobs".

A majority of the Keystone XL oil that would be refined in Texas is supposed to be earmarked for eXport Limited. Meaning most of that oil isn't going to the US to stay, but to be exported. So we'll be importing just as much from the middle east as we do now.

Actually, it's all about who it is that's deciding it's necessary.

Yes, seriously. If we were willing to spend 800+ billion for "shovel ready jobs" how many of those are "permanent jobs?"

Construction jobs move from one project to the next. No one has permanent employment building the new holiday inn on route 191.

This isn't even the modern, bastardized distortion of Keynesian of government make-work jobs to "prime the pump." These are high-paying jobs in the private sector financed with private capital.

If Nancy Peoplsi is correct (not that she is) that every $1 the government gives away is $2 in the economy because that same $1 bill gets spent several times, what about the wages of all these oh-how-horrible "temporary' construction jobs. All construction is temporary work by definition. You build it, you leave, you build something else.

The same people that want to "get America moving" on infrastructure projects do not see this as an infrastructure project. Pipe fitters and welders and truckers and graders and heavy equipment operators making very good money will be happy to have the jobs when the Republican president removes the last, bogus order for another "study."
 
Actually, it's all about who it is that's deciding it's necessary.

Courts decide, and there are requirements that must be met. The takings conservatives disagree with fail, they just cost a lot of money before they do which is the point. Lawyers (overwhelming not conservative) make a lot of money on each side of these fights.

They're trying to put it through a conservation area and through a community, turdstool.

The first nations are suing Canada because the government has no right to authorize such a pipeline. Our conservative government is selling Canada to the highest bidders. China now has the right to, in a private court, silently sue communities or cities for by-laws that they feel would cut into their profit making.

I think this is just the tip of the iceberg, smart Canadians are getting fed up.
