Canada has been sold out by its government - Terasen sale final
Last week the BCUC approved the sale of BC's Gas Distributor to Texas based Kinder Morgan, who have strong Bush ties.
The last hope was that Investment Canada would stop the sale as deemed, "Not good for Canada."
They did not. THey approved it and went one step closer to having our Natural Gas resources owned by Americans. THis is fucking disgusting.
I'm so mad right now I can't do anything but shake my head. Fuck you, various levels of Canadian government.

1. So much for the review
It should be illegal for foreign companies to control our natural resources.

3. I'm so sorry this happened,
Now you to will get to experience the same sort of price gouging we get down here with natural gas.

My suggestion, get a woodstove for your heating needs, screw Big Oil.

4. America has been sold out by its government - We understand and feel......
your pain. The corporate cronies seem to have all the power and control over our legislators who are more than willing to sell off and sell out both our countries resources and futures. It is a disgrace.

8.  Did this happen under Stephen Harper's watch?

Is this part of his 'hidden Agenda'?
