Already people all over Canada and the US have been protesting this pipeline, but the Canadian government under Steven Harper is promoting it heavily to our government.

The US government has not yet approved this proposed project but is set to be decided upon it before the fall.

Do we really need anymore examples like this to stop this? Are any active rain friends from this area?

This womans plight to save her home and land from the pipeline is part of collateral damages we are already starting to see of questionable use of eminent domain.
