I know your wondering why i'm talking about whats going on in the Gulf of Mexico, and your saying to yourself what has that have to do with Canada? Well it has plenty to do with us, to start with look for a big jump in sea food pricesas a large group of shrimpers are located as well as crab boats all in the line of the slick moving into the shoreline as well as the tourist beaches which the way it looks now are about to be ruined as it looks as though nothing can stop it now.
The reason i really brought this up was the major oil companies are asking our federal government is as i speak are being asked to wave certain environmental rules to save time and money for the oil companies. They contend that the practice of off shore drilling is completely safe, and since this disaster the oil people are calling this an isolated insident. If any one out there believes any of this garbage so be it.
I believe that now is not the time to relax the rules but the time to strengthen them, however i also believe the federal government must be pushed into this position as they would likely choose the economy over the environment. I don't think you understand how if one rig went down in the atlantic the damage to the areas of the grand banks could be ruined for decades.
I'm not a what you wpuld call a "tree hugger" and i don't blue bin very well, however i see a disaster coming our way if we collectively put the brakes on this runaway train, so do like me talk to your neighbors and all your friends and family and then let your member of parliment knowthat you want NO demand stiffer rules for the oil companies, oh and please don't tell me they can't afford the extra charges when their quarterly net profits are over 1 billion dollars.
Come on people standup and be counted before it's to late. As always let me know if you agree or disagree about this or any other of my blogs.
See you soon....
