  What is Democracy.

It is becoming involved in local issues that affect your community.

When an issue like climate change burst upon us sometimes the issue seems too big to comprehend. Big but it affects us all so get involved.

Those immigrating have to have picked Canada for a better life and because of the beautiful pictures they have seen of this vast country. I recently won a spousal appeal because a Chinese man claimed some of the reasons he wanted to move to Canada because we have air we can not see and water that is drinkable from the tap which is better then his countries bottled water. That statement surely helped his partners appeal.

Air you can NOT see and water you can drink from a tap!

Canadian´s have always been leaders when it came to peaceful missions supported by the UN like Suez Canal, Health Care etc.. Canadian´s love their country so if your coming ----- understand we think a little different then those to the south in the States.

I believe that the VAST MAJORITY of Canadian´s do look East and West but mainly south for exciting trends. I believe that CANADIAN´S LIKE THE COLD WIND ON THE BACK OF THEIR NECKS KNOWING THE WILDERNESS IS A SHORT TRIP AWAY!

We need to protect the wilderness!

I believe Canadian´s from all provinces care strongly about the environment. We need to look more towards western Europe for solutions to environmental issues!

Like Bill states the Oil Sands are important to the economy. Bill lives in a very beutiful area of Canada and he loves camping and road trips. Lets hope he has many more beautiful areas to visit for a long time to come.

An idea surfaced due to this Copenhagen Climate summit.

Now the thought is because the US imports energy from us and they use it wastefully they should shoulder the costs of environmental damage in Canada. WHAT! Think about it.

Socking is that the Americans rarely if ever understand where their energy comes from. Foreign Oil, Foreign Oil. Foreign Oil, Foreign Oil is all you hear every election.

Now some of the US States are taking the lead and want only energy created with clean carbon emissions unlike the Oil Sands.

They can not have their cake and eat it too!!!! Can they Bill?

Why should the Americans not pay for the damage they cause????

Why does Canada not take the lead regarding climate change. We have a vast unspoiled country with three oceans. In the Arctic whole communities are disappearing because the temperature has risen a couple of degrees Celsius and the water level has risen so much it is eliminating whole communities because little land is left. Why should those living in Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver care about those in Tuktoyaktuk?

Plain and simple we are next!

Now let us face the facts, Americans import more Oil from us then the combined imports of Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.

Canadian´s will never get the respect they deserve regarding energy if we do not take the lead. If we include electricity exports the lights shine bright and their cars run because of Canadians.

I was amazed about a front page article today in the Toronto Star about an uneducated boy from Malawi who brought electricity to his village. How many more boys are there in this world just like him?

So when you arrive as a new immigrant, get on board, get involved because all Canadian´s want to save our beautiful country from the harm climate change is causing. Hopefully one of the reasons you choose to emigrate to Canada is because of its beauty. Lets protect Canada´s nature.

I think they should but most importantly, they should be involved in the development and implementation of higher eviornmental standards.

See, the responsability of all these is not JUST Canada´s responsability there are many "final" users in this equation.

This is a gorgeous country indeed, the Tar Sands are not as evil as they say, and yes they are the heart of Alberta and the blood of Canada.

You close them and the entire country will sink in debt.
Do you really think that any Government in their right mind will consider shutting down the Tar Sands?

N O T A HOPE!

We can only hope and work towards better controls, that will minimize the environmental impact.

The "bio-fuel" is not cost effective and as I said before, the cannot keep up with the demand, there is another hope coming down the pipe though which is going to change the oil extraction industry.

Take a look of what Opti-Nexen in Fort McMurray is doing, it is the only company in the world doing this. It is a high-tech SAG-D, which pumps high presure steam to the ground, it gets the tar soft and a big mother vacuum sucks it and then it is up graded to a high quality oil. They have been up and running for many years with very little production but by years end, they will be almost at full steam.

Solutions are there, but shutting the Tar Sands is just silly.

Ain´t gonna happen.

Cheers,

Bill
