Critique the Canadian website

Energy potential of Alberta's oil sands places Canada in a ecological dilemma
Tough questions asked by the interviewer. Too bad he falls into the trap of mitigating the responsibility, turning it onto the world at large for creating demand in the first place. There are limits to exploitation. No regulation for oil industry in this project. Certainly that is one of them. Using Canadian tax payer’s money without their consent is a ponzi scheme.
Unlike Peter McKay and his copters and jets, Elizabeth May uses the train to get home for Xmas. It’s the more economical way. Support environmentally sound businesses and not those who pollute and contribute to anti-Democratic lobbying. Look at the furor caused by the Chiquita episode where big oil is attempting to crush the company with a retaliation from stating a preference for a change to cleaner fuels. Look at the bullying in Canadian politics by the conservatives because they’ve been bought by big oil interests. Take a stand.

Water quality management plan for Canada
Is this a parallel universe which will replace Ministry of the Environment scientific data with a collaborative panel of industry and partners with government to report figures which are not entirely hands off from tampering?

Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act
So here in Canada, American agribusiness can arrest me for standing up against caging chickens? How sick is this?
Basically, this act protects industry chicken farmers from PETA activists. Also, have you noticed the quality of Wikipedia articles has increased lately??
The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) is a United States federal law (Pub.L. 109-374; 18 U.S.C. § 43) that prohibits any person from engaging in certain conduct “for the purpose of damaging or interfering with the operations of an animal enterprise.”[1] The statute covers any act that either “damages or causes the loss of any real or personal property” or “places a person in reasonable fear” of injury. The law contains a savings clause that indicates it should not be construed to “prohibit any expressive conduct (including peaceful picketing or other peaceful demonstration) protected from legal prohibition by the First Amendment to the Constitution.” [1] However, by its own terms, the statute criminalizes acts such as “intimidation.” And prosecutions under AETA require using evidence of otherwise lawful free speech in order to demonstrate a “course of conduct” as proof of purpose or possible conspiracy. [2]
The law amends the Animal Enterprise Protection Act of 1992 (Pub.L. 102-346) and gives the U.S. Department of Justice greater authority to target animal rights activists.
Put a price on carbon (and other emissions).

Smirky response from Peter Kent Minister of the Environment and tar sands promoter who will not give answers to House of Commons simple question. “What is ozone”?
Thousands of birds make crash landing in Utah
(AP) - Thousands of migratory birds died on impact after apparently mistaking a Wal-Mart parking lot and other areas of southern Utah for bodies of water and plummeting to the ground in what one wildlife expert called the worst downing she’s ever seen.
