The Disaffected Lib: A Glimpse at the Risks We Must Bear for Your Pathetic "National Unity."

Two things: the Deepwater Horizon disaster involved conventional, crude oil. They were not dealing with tar-like sludge laced with toxins, acids, heavy metals and carcinogens. Secondly, it was a fairly easy site for oil spill response crews and vessels to get at. No mad currents, no huge swells, no tides,

The Disaffected Lib: The Perils and Pitfalls of the J. Trudeau Memorial Pipeline – They’re Very Real

To hear many east of the Rockies tell it, a dilbit spill in British Columbia’s coastal waters isn’t going to happen, although it is, and, should it, they have a “world class” oil spill response programme, although they don’t. Those are just lies they have to spin to scrub the

The Disaffected Lib: Great. Now Notley Imagines She’s Speaking for All Canadians. You Too?

Rachel Notley is taking to the interwebs in her war with British Columbia. If it’s war B.C. wants, it’s war she’ll get.

The Disaffected Lib: $2,000,000,000.00 – Now There’s a Figure That Grabs Your Attention.

Two trillion dollars. I’m guessing that, even for you, that’s a lot of money. It’s the estimated liability of Alberta’s five largest energy producers according to the Parkland Institute, a think tank at the University of Alberta. “The Big Five need to start publicly disclosing their emissions modelling for the

The Disaffected Lib: There’s No Selfie to Fix This One

When Justin Trudeau or one of his drones pimp pipelines they’re sure to claim they’re “following the science.” Oh yeah, the science is on their side. Science says dilbit pipelines are safe. Science says so. Question: who is this guy, Mr. Science? Maybe there’s an Archibald Science or a Jean

The Disaffected Lib: Okay, Justin, Now Tell Us What Those Facts Are

Serial bullshitter, JustinTrudeau, was quick off the mark to defend the Kinder Morgan bitumen pipeline expansion in the wake of the announcement that the NDP, backed by the provincial Greens, will form the next government of British Columbia. With a straight face the prime ministerial bullshitter defended his government’s decision

DeSmogBlog: Is The EPA Covering Up Oil Dispersant Dangers?

dispersant.jpg Less than two years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) told BP that they had to stop using the highly dangerous and potentially toxic oil dispersant Corexit on the oil that was spewing from a blown out wellhead at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. BP refused, and
