@albertabeefcowboy84 actual numbers is 5000 jobs over 3 years. Have you seen the tar-sands from space? Have you seen what it has already done to our land? What they oil co. intends to do? With an 82% increase in pollution, have you read the environmental reports? Have you seen the alternative drilling wells available in the US? Have you seen Keystone's 12 leaks in 12 months? Where are you getting your information? The misinformation that is shoved down our throats in the media is false.

I am devastated about what is happening to our beautiful boreal forest. Most Canadians I speak to about this are oblivious and have no idea of the magnitude of the devastation to the land and indigenous people these tarsands are creating. 19 stillborn in 21 pregnancies 3 x the rate of lukemia and lymphoma 7x duct cancer, dead lakes, dead land. Our gov. dragged the Lupicon Cree thru. the courts for 20 yrs when they asked for help. Something is deeply wrong with our country's "Public Servants".

hey you are stupid USA and stop doing that to alberta

How does pressurized sand NOT sandblast & weaken steel pipe.

We are not stupid.

This oil is not for the USA. If it was the oil would go to a Midwestern refinery where it would lower gas prices to 15 midwestern states by .20¢ a Gallon.

The pipeline is goint to the Oil Export Hub of the USA. One oil spill in the Ogallala aquifer 25 Million people & 50,000 Farmers will not have water. Did we learn nothing from BP?

The Rep-Bull-Krapi-Con$ think we are stupid.

@wfmkk Thats what Peter Pond (explorer) noted. Amount and Rate? Not sure. That was over 200 plus years ago.

@jackpontiac52

"leaking into the rivers"

At what RATE was this natural leakage? Your logic seems to be that a drop of oil justifies massive spills. There are many slick rationalizations for exploitation.

[jackpontiac52]

Does anybody even realize that this Tar Sand Oil was leaking into the Rivers before White men even knew that North America even existed? All the Tarsands plants are is a soil recovery system.

This oil isn't guaranteed to go to the US. In fact its Canada's goal to diversify their Oil customer base and ship it to China. They could send this oil to the US on existing routes to the mid west. But there aren't ports there to ship it overseas.

are you willing to use fewer resources or pay more at the pump to enable us to not need to do these things to keep supply ahead of demand?
