Deception?

At the August meeting of General Council the subject of a pipeline called the Northern Gateway which would carry oil sands bitumen across British Columbia and through environmentally sensitive waters was addressed. Not surprisingly the United Church voted agin' it, although I'm reasonably sure Enbridge officials did not lose any sleep that night.
Those Enbridge folk do seem to be having some problems with geography though. A promotional video offers a map of BC with about 1000 kilometres of coastline missing. Some are saying this was a deliberate misrepresentation to minimize the picture of potential environmental damage. Who knows. A group has come up with a video which is meant to counter the pipeline propaganda. Take a look at the original and the response.
Thoughts?
