To me the choice is simple, we can prop up a cabal of brutal dictatorships that kill homosexuals, keep women as second class citizens, and don't care if they destroy the environment.

Or we can by our oil from Canada.

To be explicit, if you object to harvesting the Alberta oil sands you are an objectively misogynist, gay bashing, Gaia raping hypocrite.

;P

Bah, bunch-a Canada wankers. Why do we enhance the political power of North America's Space-Filling Empire?

I'm guessing unethical is *much* cheaper?

What if you're against both? Hypothetically speaking.

While I appreciate the Canada support, Alberta's oil sands have HUGE environmental issues. And also, Alberta already has enough money, I say we figure out how to harvest energy from all the trees we have here in Ontario. :oP

To the tune of "Green Acres"...

U-ran-ium's the fuel to burn,
You'd think by now that we'd have learned!
Far better than that nasty oil,
Or coal, black plumes that rise and roil!

Plu-to-nium's a grand old sight,
So flammable, lights up the night!
Oh, fission, beats natural gas,
'Cause nuclear don't smell like ass!

Wind is great but it ain't everywhere,
Solar panels: costly to repair!
Hydro'lectric needs a big old dam,
Geothermal's viable in few lands!

Hy-dro-gen cells, they are years away,
Give me sweet, hot fission any day!
Fossil fu-els, they are for the weak,
(And we all know oil has hit its peak!)

U-ran-ium's the fuel to burn,
You'd think by now that we'd have learned!
Far better than that nasty oil,
Or coal, black plumes that rise and roil!

You can strangle a kitten and eat it raw . . . or you can euthanize it gently before cooking it for the family.

Your choice.

*sigh*

Oil is on its way out sooner or later. The price of solar keeps going down while the price of oil keeps going up. Once those two prices intersect, say good bye to big oil.

Oil only comes from two places? I learn something new every day.

Yes. From Canada.

And in the meantime, work like goddamn crazy to get the hell off the stuff while we still can.

Heroin: I can buy it from Jimmy down the street, or Jesus on the corner, but Jimmy insists on transferring the balloons in a french kiss. PRAISE JESUS.

Bashing Canada is the new imperialism.

OR we could go for other alternatives. This sort of false dichotomy is so blatant it seems like a satire.
