Here's a little letter for your crazy uncle at Thanksgiving:
I live in Canada.
If Keystone goes through, Americans are agreeing to a pipeline that -- so far -- has been rejected in Canada because tar sands oil is so toxic and so dangerous.
So along comes America saying "we'll carry your really dirty oil to ocean ports so you can sell it to the world... we'll risk AMERICAN aquifers and AMERICAN farmland to enable Canadians to sell their oil to Asia and Europe."
In Canada every barrel of oil is taxed at the wellhead -- royalties go to government. If America approves Keystone, we owe you a great big Canadian "Thank you" -- because selling our filthy oil to Japan and Poland helps fund our government-administrated no-deductible, no-co-pay, choose-your-own-doctor universal health insurance plan -- probably a better plan than most of the Louisianians who are voting for the Republican running against Mary L.
Not only that --the cleanup from the inevitable oil spill in the American heartland won't be paid for by the Canadian governments -- the ones actually making money from the oil in this pipeline -- it will be paid for by American taxpayers.
THANKS A BILLION, SUCKERS!!!!
