There is a camp out in front of the Edmonton government building. We spent an evening visiting friends and discussing the topic. Some of them have been there for weeks. The people come and go but they are making their opinions known.It is a small but committed group. There is plans for a large protest in the future.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506143344513612501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-78888787324846968912011-10-01T10:05:25.466-04:002011-10-01T10:05:25.466-04:00Opposition to these kinds of projects need to star...Opposition to these kinds of projects need to start from a groundswell of popular discontent.

Once the sound bite is over, the issue fades.IanDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215355498752040598noreply@blogger.com
