    It's not Greenpeace's job to tell Albertans how to run Alberta, its Albertans' job to run Alberta. There will always be buyers of oil.

    Greenpeace organizer Mike Hudema, who was on the floor at the time, said the stunt was aimed at getting his group's message across.

    "We want the government of Alberta to start listening to the general public and put an end to the Alberta tar sands," he told CBC News.

    'The general public' of Alberta spoke in the election last month. They totally repudiated Hudema and his idiotic policies and gave 'Steady Eddie' and his policies regarding the oil sands a massive majority.

    My advice to Hudema and his Greens is to move west to BC. They'd appreciate them out there.

    The general public knows too well about the sands and they're fine with it. We're happy for Alberta's prosperity. Every dog has its day. Greenpeace can shove it.

    The nuts part about this is the econfreaks are claiming the oil sands project is polluting the water. Their proof is the same oild that has been seeping from the tar Sands for centuries.
    The econfreaks are not interested in ending polution so much as ending our prosperous lifestyle.......their real target is capitalist, corporate North America. Which they seek to revert to the 17th century.....

    well at least with coal plants they can do carbon capture and nuclear is also safer and the waste from nuclear can now be used to fuel a different kind of nuclear power plant
