watch out, his next retort will be CTV plays NFL games and CTV is apparently the #1 channel in Canada so therefore more Canadians watch NFL than NHL that was his logic anyway isn't TSN owned by CTV anyway?

You seem to forget the Liberals did nothing to reduce emissions for 9 years ..the whole time they were in power since they ratified the Accord self righteous left wingers are more annoying to me than ideological right wingers and this issue brings them out

Patrick Chan is an asshole, couldn't someone better have won?

I don't think this will actually happen but if it does happen I can see Iranian ships and subs blowing up http://www.tehrantimes.com/politics/93496-iran-to-hold-war-game-on-closure-hormuz-strait-mp- TEHRAN – MP Parviz Sorouri of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee has said that Iran plans to practice its ability to close the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important chokepoints, which represents about 30% of the world’s seaborne oil shipments. “Currently, the Middle East region supplies 70 percent of the world’s energy needs, (most of) which are transported through the Strait of Hormuz. We will hold an exercise to close the Strait of Hormuz in the near future. If the world wants to make the region insecure, we will make the world insecure,” ISNA quoted Sorouri as saying on Tuesday. Hossein Shariatmadari, the chief editor of the Kayhan newspaper, in the editorial of the December 13 edition of the daily, also said that under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Islamic Republic has the right to close the Strait of Hormuz if its interests in the waterway are threatened. Pointing to efforts made by certain Western countries to drum up support for the imposition of an oil embargo on Iran, he said that the UNCLOS allows Iran to close the waterway if it is deprived of its right to export oil. If oil sanctions are imposed on Iran, there is no reason to allow the enemies that are known for their hostility toward Iran to ship oil through the strait, which lies within Iran’s territorial waters, he said. Shariatmadari also cited excerpts of some articles of the UNCLOS to support his argument, which goes as follows: Article 17 - Right of innocent passage Subject to this Convention, ships of all States, whether coastal or land-locked, enjoy the right of innocent passage through the territorial sea. Article 19 - Meaning of innocent passage: Passage is innocent so long as it is not prejudicial to the peace, good order or security of the coastal State. Such passage shall take place in conformity with this Convention and with other rules of international law. Article 25- Rights of protection of the coastal State: A: The coastal State may take the necessary steps in its territorial sea to prevent passage which is not innocent. B: The coastal State may, without discrimination in form or in fact among foreign ships, suspend temporarily in specified areas of its territorial sea the innocent passage of foreign ships if such suspension is essential for the protection of its security, including weapons exercises. Such suspension shall take effect only after having been duly published. In conclusion, Shariatmadari said that if the United States, European countries, and their Asian allies like Japan impose oil sanctions on Iran, they will be effectively considered the enemies of the Islamic Republic and the passage of the tankers that carry oil for them cannot be regarded as “innocent”, so Iran can block the passage of the tankers to prevent the enemies, which seek to undermine its national security, from improving their capabilities.

The economy shall not be hijacked by a few tree huggers thats all I have to say about that

She's against it being done in a way that jeopardizes the environment yes and to people who think like her they consider its best to just leave the tar sands alone thus ruining our economy

her concern is oil running through pipelines.. I've seen her posts in the past regarding it she will never be okay with it even if the feds were enforcing the rules

she is so arguing against it after this statement Mhmm ... and we're supposed to believe that new pipelines to the west coast, and shipping oil will be "safe"? I don't think so.

meh leave her there any Canadian who goes to Mexico is dumb enough

More should be done to find and punish companies who are clumsy but look we live on earth and we need certain things to survive.. to keep our economy surviving we have no choice but to export our resources whether its in your opinion safe to or not to that is the bottom line you can whine all day but you're not going to keep our economy going if they listen to you and the others

you'd have to understand their culture to understand how women are strong armed or threatened into wearing cultural garnents and outter garments

like the polygamy case.. judges found it reasonable to be able to marry more than one person but found the culture of abuse of how young women were being forced to marry unreasonable its reasonable to be able to wear face veils but unreasonable for the culture to force you to wear the veil therefore burkas & face veils should be banned altogether maybe the culture of abuse will end

why do you care man? you're going to move to a EU country anyway

you basically repeated what ive said in this thread LOL

why else would they have endorsed harper every election?

Anything is possible when the story is unclear
