Toronto -- Jeffrey Simpson points out the dishonesty of Stephen Harper in proposing to unite with the U.S. to combat global warming while leaving the tar sands out of the agreement (Little New For Obama In Ottawa's Energy 'Offer' - Nov. 12).
The tar sands are considered by many environmental scientists to be the most destructive project on the planet. Andrew Nikiforuk, in his book Tar Sands: Dirty Oil and the Future of a Continent, tells us that each day, the tar sands produce the greenhouse-gas equivalent of 12 million cars, and consume enough natural gas to heat six million homes.
Whom does our Prime Minister think he's fooling?
