(Before It's News)

Two new tar sands pipeline projects announced earlier this month would bring to market a “neck-breaking 1.1 million barrels of oil per day” and almost double the region’s daily petroleum output to 760,000 barrels without requiring President Obama’s approval.

Vancouver Observer:

The first project – TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline – would be the largest oil sands pipeline in North America – a continent-wrapping 4,500-km line to carry Alberta’s oil to Montreal, Quebec City and Saint John.

… “Massive climate change impacts…[the] equivalent to adding the emissions of 7 million cars on the road,” said Adam Scott, Climate and Energy Program Manager, with Environmental Defence in Toronto.

    We will not nee to import oil from countries we are at war with to secure the oil production.
    We would create jobs for Canadians, not soldiers and war machines and oil tankers.
    These environmentalists hate our country. Leave Canada and go live in “Your” utopian society, wherever that is, Adam.
