20,000 jobs? Guess you guys get what you deserve by believing a politician (Lynn Jenkins). Trans Canada’s 2008 application listed 3,500 to 4,200 jobs at PEAK construction. The 20,000 figure comes from a statement there would be 20,000 “employment years.”

#18 Andy: “The big danger is that Canada will opt to sell its oil to China…..” Well, yes. They’ll either build a pipeline to the west coast to sell product to China. Or, they’ll build Keystone XL to ship heavy crude to Gulf Coast refineries to refine the stuff to sell to Europe and Latin America. Guess you guys haven’t paid much attention to Trans Canada’s business plans and business plans of those refineries.

#14 Perry 1949: “Does anyone know what happened to that hole in the ozone we were creating……..Are we dead yet?

Answer is no, we’re not dead yet, thanks to President Ronald Reagan. In 1987, he signed the Montreal Protocols to phase out use of CFCs. The “hole” has been slowly closing since.
