Greenpeace rappels off the Calgary Tower to remind government to separate oil and state

[Oilbaron14]

I LOVE THE OIL SANDS!!! It's so squishy beneath my boots:) Ahahahaha!!! Let's just face it. The Oil Sands will not be stopped. Whoever doesn't like it go cry to your mothers. Now if you will excuse me i need to go open the valve to the pipeline. Barrack needs fuel for air force one. Here ya go Mr. President!!!

Insane how some nutters on this page have no problem with the oil industry shaking down Ottawa and the Canadian people but a few activists cause a minor much needed inconvenience you go all Nazi on them !!

[raganriley]

I cant believe payment is required

[bigtuna85]

How much did it cost tax payers to send in the tactical unit, and shut down center street and 9th ave to protect the public? Doing this does not raise awareness. Oil and state will always be togethor as the government makes so much money off it.

Next time I see you clowns doing an illegal stunt like this i'll be knocking one of you the fuck out. I dont want my tax dollars going towards stopping a useless stunt. It does not raise awareness.

@bigtuna85 did you know it will coast tax payers BILLIONS to clean up the oil sands? did you read the news lately?

[bigtuna85]

@TheInfamousCanadian yeah i've read the news, tax payers also had to pay to clean up after their stunt. we HAD to pay for the tactical team running in there. Did that stunt raise awareness at that we had to pay billions to clean up the oilsands? NO, WHY? because the news reported that we MAY be left with the bill 2 months after they pulled that shit. Dont change some bullshit you read in the daily metro on they way to your cubical it said a "think tank says worst case scenario"

[TheInfamousCanadian]

@bigtuna85 your a dumbass obvously it did raise awareness if your talking about it right now. how much will everyone in alberta have to pay for this.... 00000.1 of a cent? and i honestly dont care im glad all these wanna be cowboys here in alberta has to pay for the oils clean up. most of them support it. do you think local news makes shit up? they dont care about politics they read the fucking news. and yes us tax payers will most likely have to pay for the billions of dollers for the cleanup

[logos416]

@bigtuna85 Huh, you must work for the government. Willing to beat up on peaceful protesters.. or you're a redneck that lacks the words to be able to express your feelings. Either way, I feel sorry for you.

[biteyourlipsonfire]

Wow, not only did you break laws, but you shut down streets for hours so people who have nothing to do with the oil sands lost hours in their day. Awesome work. Did you walk to Calgary? Oh no wait, you must have used oil to power your cars and airplanes. Got it.

[XdarkelveX]

Stop the tar sands! What's more important, short-term profits or long-term sustainability and environmental health? It's a no-brainer to me, what about you Mr. Stelmach?
