"It is clear the Enbridge study is bogus." - Robyn Allan

After extensive analysis of the Northern Gateway economic-benefit case prepared by Enbridge, it is clear the study is bogus.

Northern Gateway has been presented as a way for oil producers to get higher prices in Asia. What we aren't told is these price increases apply to every barrel sold in Canada, and these price increases are passed onto Canadians.

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper says Northern Gateway is in the national interest, it may not be Canada's.
Northern Gateway will benefit a handful of large oil companies, including Sinopec, China National Offshore Oil Company and PetroChina, all owned by the Communist Party of China. With millions of workers and lower labour rates, it's likely PetroChina could deliver a competitive bid, all the more easily facilitated by the Harper government's recently introduced Temporary Foreign Worker Policy.

As "super natural" British Columbia becomes a super-oil-tanker terminal for Alberta, we put at risk B.C. jobs in tourism, fishing and related activities, ...all for no measurable economic benefit . This is even before we talk about oil-spill risk. Why would we even contemplate this project going through?.

Next step "Organic".
 
Good to see her article(s) being picked up by some major media outlets. She needs to get on all major news sources asap as she is very adept at explaining in clear terms how we are being duped into thinking this is a 'economy vs environment' debate when in fact it is not econmically beneficially to Canadians at all. Harper continues to do a great job of silencing scientists and other professionals who dare to speak out against his agenda. F'n brutal!
