Canada's shortsighted greed will trump the good work that many individuals and organizations are doing in trying to bring climate change and environmental crises to the forefront for political action.

Unfortunately, the oil companies, such as the oil sands project and pipeline, rule the decisions being made in Canada. As citizens, if we care about the future of the world, we should be congregating on Parliament Hill in hordes denouncing current government decisions which completely ignore this disaster. The majority of Canadians recognize the serious implications of this decision - unfortunately the current regime on Parliament Hill does not. We should evict them, and soon.
