so TRACKER570 -- how does Keystone getting built help you with your money problems ?

Are you gonna be one of the short-term 2500 construction jobs. Or maybe its going through your town and there will be some great jobs serving burgers and coffee to those workers for the few weeks they are in town. Or are you hoping for one of those lucrative cleanup jobs when it pops a leak?! Great opportunities - good luck !

BTW - the US solar industry currently employs over 100,000.

@dander53 Go to Ft McMurry, Alberta and see how the oil pipeline helps people! Canada is doing well in the global recession, these celebrity protesters know nothing

@Brdstfff  It would at least result in less bird droppings.

So much technology: so much information. and always so many opinions. what DO we know? Is anyone applying anything they've learned to any cause they believe in?

[johnBolenbaugh]

@4311falcon I don't believe any propaganda. And i don't care about these celebrities. What I say is what I have seen and have learned from my personal experiences as a oil worker and now investigator to the truth. And yes I have seen the videos of before and after a tar sand spill in my community. I made the videos. I don't care about the tar sands project. I do care about the pipes that break and the devastation after it. You clean Alberta areas YOU SAY to only pollute my community

[4311falcon]

Ya know what; you are just another lemming that believes all of the propaganda being spewed out by these celebs that know NOTHING! Have YOU bothered to look at the videos put out showing the before and after when it comes to land reclamation? I’m willing to bet you haven’t. Mother Nature put the bitumen in the ground which leeches into the water supply. With us extracting it and replanting vegetation where nothing grew before I leaving the land in better shape than it was before.

@dander53 Where the hell did you get those stats?

[johnBolenbaugh]

@4311falcon let me guess you didn't even care to see the video and see the truth. If you saw what we saw and the people dying from this tar sand oil and the 40 miles of dead fish and thousands of dead animals you may have a different opinion. But if you turn a blind eye and just want a job then there is no reason to even discuss the truth because money is your motivator not the American people and children. And American XL jobs will be 2 yr max and under 2,000 total. That is a fact.

@johnBolenbaugh WHAT A LOAD OF BULLLLLLSHIIIIIIIT!!!!!!! GIVE ME A FRIGGING BREAK. You are totally and completely full of pure bullshit!

[johnBolenbaugh]

@Mr65c10 I AM A FOREMAN AND A UNION PIPEFITTER. MY ENTIRE FAMILY ARE PIPEFITTERS AND WE WILL NEVER WORK FOR A TAR SAND JOB AGAIN AFTER WE SEEN THE DEVASTATION IN OUR COMMUNITY FROM THIS TAR SAND OIL. WATCH (JOHN BOLENBAUGH ENBRIDGE KILLS US ONE BY ONE ) AND THEN REPLY. NO JOB IS WORTH KILLING AMERICANS AND OUR CHILDREN. BE PROUD TO BE A WORKER THAT STANDS UP FOR AMERICA NOT AGAINST THE PEOPLE IN IT.
