Read this editorial from Rafe Mair in The Tyee on the increased pressure to build oil pipelines from the Tar Sands through BC in the wake of Obama’s decision to send the proposed Keystone XL pipeline to Texas back to the drawing board.

“Now that the Obama administration has delayed its decision
on whether to approve the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta’s oil sands
to refineries in Texas, we had better gear up for quite a fight here in
British Columbia. The pressure just rose to push through two dangerous
oil sands pipeline projects running through our own province.” (Nov. 14, 2011)
