Wow, let us get on the path once again for another "lesson in futility."
Hours and days and weeks spent trying to stop the Teresen Gas deal with the City of Prince George. Went ahead anyhow, as the residents could not give up the thought of a few million FIFTEEN years down the road.
It matters naught what that Council of Canadians says. The shareholders are not going to stop this-as the shares will go up and they will make money. That is all the talk they need. They are not going to say No to additional monies.
Consider it a "done" deal.
I trust not this purchase, as I wonder if there could be even the remotest possibility we could be on the hook for some of that SEVENTY some MILLION the city borrowed for Teresen Gas??? The city seemed to be in such a hurry to promote and get that deal through. Did a city this size really need to be on the hook for such an amount-to give to a huge company???
We have learned through the Softwood Lumber process the Americans have no intention of giving any consideration to a so called "agreement," and do we think we will be given any consideration re this gas deal should they decide Prince George is not deserving of the agreed upon funds????
City Hall can go ahead and tell us again how safe this deal was and is.
I am perhaps overly concerned when it comes to the operators of this city, and think the residents here are pretty placid and very easy to dupe.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I fear the Americans have more surprises in store for us.
Yes, I admit, I am of little faith.

Interesting article on the tyee today.

Even better! Have a read of a recent press release on the Kinder Morgan web site:

The use of the word DEFINITIVE doesnt sound like there's much room for debate.

Gypsy the only reason why the Terasen deal with the city went through is because the city used a Diabold electronic vote counting machine that was programmed in the States by a Bush Ranger who stole the election for Bush and the good ol oil and gas boys.

I registered my complant and refussed to cast my vote into that machine knowing that the programming is fixed. The city manager gave me his assurance that the programming was legit, but we all know that we have to accept the word of Diabold on this and Diabold has a track record of faulty vote counting machines and raising campaign donation for the Bush presidency while their machines counted 60% of the American votes.

A vote means nothing unless it can be varifiably counted. The city referrendum was a fraud with a proven fraudulant vote counting machine that had $76 Million reasons why it needed to come out with the appropriate final count.

The reality is that we need a varifiable vote counting process....

Krisb, sorry the city sold the right to the municiple gas lines. No other service provider will be able to come to your rescue. The Americans own you lock stock and barrel. The was the whole idea of the gas deal with the city. Secure the market so it can be sold for a profit. Kinder Morgan will make their money or you will freeze.

On the other hand you can burn wood if you don't live in the city....

I can't tell if Chader is serious or not... In either case, I hope folks don't believe everything they read on the internet!

Maybe a solid reason why we need some moderators around here...

Mr PG I'm serious, are you?

If you can be more specific in your criticism maybe I can clear things up.

If you just want to censor other opinions, then I can't help you.

Chader, my point is that if you try hard enough, you can find an internet site to support any position. I probably can find a website somewhere that says the world is flat.

Anyone can set up a website and say just about anything they want, but you probably know this already.

I notice that you use websites quite often to support your point of view. I guess that's fine, but just don't expect me to take the website you present as gospel.

There used to be a Chapter of the Flat Eart Society in Hope .....

It is unfornunate that so many feel that the Teresan Gas deal is a done deal. If enough people put pressure on the Government the deal can be stopped .
