Hopefully the businesses there don't end up tearing up the beautiful parts of Canada to meet demand from all 3 countries (US, China, India). Canada/Harper pushed hard for this law 2-3 years ago. It wasn't completely borne from US desire. Canada hasn't been put under much duress. That's one of the things that makes it perplexing. Current PM Hair Gel could have killed it but he didn't and he was able to push it through the House of Commons, but hasn't had the same luck with your Senate. come on unelected, unaccountable senate, do the right thing and stop this.

Write and/or email your elected representatives to get them to pressure your Senate into not voting on the bill. They don't even have to vote it down, although that would be preferable. A bill can die just as easily if it's never even voted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully nature does not suffer in a wake of progress like you said. Canada needs to protect is sovereignty especially in Arctic, where I think the next challenge will come in the future. As far as Senate goes, mine is in Washington just like yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were one of the poutine devouring, maple syrup slurping, moose cuddling peace lovers. Canada is going to end up paying one way or another when it comes to the Arctic. They've waited too long to strengthen their navy and are now going to have to rely on the US if/when Russia encroaches on Canadian claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, that first sentence does describe my wife to a T Instead of poutine, I would rather have Italian been sandwich with mozzarella and giardiniera.
