i think if they drill and develop resources to take the tax burden off of Canadian subjects that will be a good way to fund first nation project and fight the chronic addiction and crime problems.i think it is short sighted to deny this monetary resource.

lets force oil company to drill in extremely deep places in the gulf and when something goes wrong it makes a disaster of epic proportions because it is a huge job just to shut down a spill.

mc, the Gulf is one of the world's richest fisheries. A BP here would be a catastrophe. We're world centre of lobster production. If circumstances should warrant drilling---Canada is up to its ears in oil and gas---the oil will still be there. Open and accountable governments allow citizens to make decisions.

Craig, it doesn't matter on whose watch another oil catastrophe happens---and happen it will. Humans make mistakes, on the bridge at Valdez and deck of the BP rig in the Gulf. Citizens own what's in and under the Gulf.
Shell says they can get resources there to cap a blow-out within a month! It hasn't provided answers on safety and environmental effects of drilling and exploration i.e. sound blasts in one of world's great masses of krill.
Not good enough. A moratorium is reasonable under these circumstances. As for a win, of course, naturally. We've already done it with a moratorium on the fabled fisheries straddling the US-Canada border in the Gulf of Maine.
People come first. I've spent months on Galveston Bay.

OK, time to get back on topic, i.e., showcasing King Brown's anti-gun rhetoric in one convenient location so he can't effectively deny his own words. He still denies them, but he looks foolish, dishonest, and senile. ....Americans choose how they want to live, accept mass murder, mass school executions, mass incarceration (suddenly recognized as wrong). As much as they dislike it, little is done about it. Democracies make choices but few modern countries are as burdened in solving these societal problems as the US with three centuries of a ruinous race legacy. Then there's this little gem where King attempts to link our Constitutional RKBA to an insane allegation that we "accept" mass murder and mass school shootings: Democracies make choices. Americans accept mass murder to defend an individual right to bear arms in the name of personal freedom. When I posted this anti-gun rhetoric in another thread, King's immediate response was, "Evidence please." Only King could be caught with the smoking gun in his hand and proclaim innocence. The whole exchange can be read in the "300,000,000, Yes 300,000,000" thread beginning with King's post #421751. Pathetically sick.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

That is not antigun point of view he is just presenting the way things are in USA. As I said before the only way to solve the problem is for more qualified people to carry guns in places like schools. While this will not stop what has been happening from happening again at least those poor souls will not fall defenseless. The other solution is to restrict certain type of guns and high capacity magazines plus have mental evaluation performed by licensed professional prior to someone buying a firearm instead of the gun buyer checking off box saying they have not been judged insane. Will second solution help a lot. Not really.

....A BP here would be a catastrophe. We're world centre of.... Hmmm, so I guess you are a 'not in my back yard kinda guy'. I wonder if that trudeau talking point about 'welcoming immigrants' means that jihadis can set up 'mosqs' training camps in NS? If a poor single mom signs a pledge to go a hundred percent green and volunteers all her spare time to reforestation and habitat enhancement for endangered species, would you deny her the desperate need for subsidized bp heating oil to get her malnourished kids through the most brutal up coming NS blizzard season? Did I mention, I did come up for air, and the mom's a minority?

Craig, it doesn't matter on whose watch another oil catastrophe happens---and happen it will. Humans make mistakes.... King, I'm offended. I said it happened to be on someones watch, the 'problem' was the leadership to fix the 'mistake'. Ask Bill, he would entrust his grandkids future access to national forests to this 'environmentalist'. You do know, the only required solution is to apologize, if and only if the political heat gets turned up too much by the radical lefties, eh. Did I ever tell you the story about the President who was responsible for causing hurricane katrina? His crime, after numerous investigations, being a Republican. He tried to say, hey bro it's the weather, but the evidence was stacked against him because he was preempted by dem talking points about R responsibility for 'climate change'.

I only remember your praising Castro for his preparations for Katrina compared to Brownie's incompetence in New Orleans.
