Robyn Allen, former head of ICBC and well respected independent economist, spoke at Vancouver-Quadra MP Joyce Murray’s MP Breakfast Connection. She spoke of Enbridge’s business case for the pipeline planned for northern BC. She challenges the “logic” of building the pipeline and completely destroys the viability argument. Special thanks to Nic Slater for the chance to see this.

Update: Thanks again to Nic Slater we have another video of Robyn Allen debunking Enbridge’s pipeline plan. Enjoy
Interesting video – thanks for the link.

Well, as an Albertan myself, I think that the real Harpercon Achilles heel is the West. This is one area where the Harpercon’s sfufer under a genuinely massive blind-spot. In contrast to many of their lies, which they know to be lies, these idiots actually think that they are not only Alberta, but even the West. So they are completely incapable of dealing with dissent against their particular line in BC, or Saskatchewan or Manitoba, for that matter, because they have never come to terms with the fact that dissent in the West is even possible; and they are driven to absolute rage when I suggest that there are Albertan who wouldn’t vote for those rancid semen sacks if they were the only ones on the ballot. Remember Harper claiming that the only people who vote for the Liberals in Western Canada are immigrants and transplanted Easterners . But the key to attacking them is not, as under Martin and Ignatiev, to pander to the Alberta oil patch (they already own the Harpercons) but to stand up against those arrogant piles of manure.
