Let's talk about jobs and pipelines...
Fixing old water and gas pipelines would create far more jobs than building Keystone XL

Randy Thompson wanted us to post this message about the magazine cover. He is not on Facebook but we will pass along any comments to him. We hope everyone gets a chance to read the article because the story in the magazine is beautifully written by Luiza Savage.
"Hopefully by responding I can clear the air a bit about this magazine cover. I am the man on the cover, and believe me no one is more embarrassed and disappointed than I am about the headline they chose to run next ...to my picture. I feel this way because I am fully aware of the enormous contributions made by thousands of people all across this country and Canada to try and stop this pipeline, and this headline fails to recognize that. If I could change it, I would, but the fact is I can’t. If I would have had any input as to what the headline would be, it would have been totally different, but I didn’t, and so here we are with a decision to make. Are we going to continue to fight as a united front, or are we going to let hurt feelings and some dumb ass, over the top headline in a magazine split us apart? I am pretty sure I know which decision the big oil companies and TransCanada would like us to make. -Randy Thompson"
