Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, reading from the Bush-Cheney environmentalism playbook, has decided to simply ignore a Canadian court ruling that declares Exxon Canada’s work in Alberta’s oil sands is an environmental hazard in the waiting.
And, Canadian newspapers get dinged, too, for putting the story inside their business sections.
Nice to know that the U.S. ain’t the only place with an “MSM” problem at times, either.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
