Further to a response to woofybigi:

The title of the video is posed as a question. Sophisticated viewers will interpret it as a provocative statement that draws parallels between the two situations. Clearly, the two situations are not in every way equivalent. For example - the BC government is every bit as enthusiastic about CBM in the Headwaters as Nigeria's government is for oil development in the Delta, albeit for dramatically different reasons and for different objectives.

The invention of capitalism is greatest man made distruction of our time, this philosophy have done more harm to Earth and our natural habitat than any other idea in history. If people before them have this idea and never think about our beautiful Earth, then our generation will never have met nothing. The Earth continue to bleed and Enveronmental pollution is rising more and more. Just because of materialistic philosophy and western addiction to glamour. There is always an end to everything.

So she leaves her tank empty until the next gas station.

Canada's oil industry faces some of the toughest, and ethically strong regulation in the world. We should be using more Canadian oil and gas and minimizing our use of dirty oil and gas from conflict regions.

We can't run on empty forever and we must fuel up somewhere.

This video shows facts, no doubt, we need to keep in mind that we humans have brought this on ourselves, our dependance on oil & Gas force us to repeat the mistakes of humanity, genocide, capitalizim, we need to work together to find safe ways of resource extraction or trade our cars in for horses, stop having so many babies, so we can go back to living off the land, giving up our dependance on fossil fuels. I didn't think so...

That was why the crushed Biafra in 1967-1970 Nigeria Biafra war. They wanted the oil. They took it and ended the people up in disaster. Saro Wiwa was so myopic that he supported the federals at that time. Even when traditional ruler all stood for Biafra. He paid for it with his life and was killed by exactly those he supported during a war to liberate his own people from enemies armies and oil hungry world powers.Lessons for history.

,you are completely right probably either in one way or the order way .but at least oil belong to couple of states from south south ,south east .

[bruin03]

which southern nigeria, east or west?

and which east? east central or south east or south south?

Which people of the region? Ogoni? Kalabari? Which side of Ogoni? As you can see the divisions get smaller and smaller until you have village against village and family vs family. Its ridiculous. Time to realize that you are part of a country not just your fathers house.

Some pretty bold statements in here with no scientific proof to back things up. Your coalbed methane facts are complete lies. I see the local natives have been brainwashed to believe 70% unemployment is a good thing. Fucking environmentalist hypocrites. Would you prefer you fuel to come from Nigeria or Iraq? Way to use blasting footage from colorado.. real accurate. idiots.
