    There was a time where Canadians were willing to come to Alberta to work but, some where along the line they all became a bunch of lazy sheep who would prefer to sit at home in Ontario and bitch about the "dirty tarsands" with their hand open looking for "dirty tarsands" money.

    First of all, I'm all for Enbridge, so you're trolling up the wrong tree, tonight. Second, you are dead wrong about where our petroleum comes from. We get it from Mexico, Venezuela and even the Persian Gulf and it is refined on the East Coast and Quebec, then shipped inland. It costs less to do that them to transport it "over the hump" by pipeline from Western Canada (although that is the eventual plan, using an old natural gas pipeline).

    I like that idea better. We have bright, young people all over the country who can't get decent employment, cant quite get started. Give them first dibs.
