I've argued this from day one and I am certainly not an 'eco freak'. It is just good business not to develop the tar sands as they never made economic sense. Harper's biggest failing wasn't anything political, he was just a bad business man for Canada who should have focussed on price point over pipelines. Junior is making ALL the same mistakes! If the muffin man and closet dweller, from the lost decade, couldn't save a dime when oil was over $100 a barrel ,what makes anyone think that will happen now?
