Two proposed pipeline projects, originating in Alberta, have been much in the news lately. The Keystone Pipeline Project and the Northern Gateway Pipelines Project.
Both projects are promising significant financial benefits to Albertans over the long term, in that they would open up new markets for our oilsands production: one to south of the border, the other to markets overseas.
Both are also running up against fairly significant opposition on a number of fronts. Concerns related to the protection of water are high on the list.
The Gateway project made the front page of the Calgary Herald’s business section yesterday.

Finally, this video was posted on the Moldy Chum fly fishing blog last fall. Caveat: any reference to ‘tar sands’ instead of ‘oil sands’ lets you know right off the bat which side of the fence the argument is coming from.
