Dear Mike Hudema:

1. The Canadian government sends me a small basic survival pension once a month. 

2. The government makes money for pensions and social security by extracting bitumen from Tar sand and refining the Bitumen into Oil.

3. After the refining process, our government ships the oil to buyers around the world and the profits go to Tar Sands investors. The trans-mountain pipe line will speed up the distribution process and that will satisfy the large international companies who dominate the world economy and who invested in developing the Tar Sands.

4. Destroying the planet with Oil pollution is not a factor in the way these people operate. All they care about is power and making money.

5. Canada is one of the largest polluters on the planet.

6. We have to develop an agricultural and ecological as well as a biological economic system directly opposing the present Oil based economy, and we have to do it with a government willing to change our Canadian school system so that our children learn to protect and to survive with Bio-diversity. Where helping each other takes priority before helping yourself.  

7. P.S. I remain yours truly, broke!

8. P.P.S. I recommend giving the New Democratic Party a chance to control the Canadian federal government. The Liberals and the Conservatives are both Oil and money oriented. Maybe the N.D.P. will do better?

Nelson Joseph Raglione.
