Yesterday we get this result :

A 12-metre geyser of crude oil spewed from a broken pipeline in a Burnaby neighbourhood Tuesday, forcing people from their homes, contaminating the area and sending a thick, smelly torrent down storm sewers and into Burrard Inlet.

Back in the spring of '05 we had our first Letter to the Editor published in the Vancouver Sun. In it we suggested that selling Canadian assets to outfits like Kinder-Morgan was ill advised.
We rest our case . . . .

Ugh. And ugh. That's dreadful.
But, in other news - how 'bout that House Judiciary Committee?!
Yeah, I like that they've finally done something. Listening to a progressive radio station last week, it was noted that rather than "contempt of congress" an "inherent contempt" charge should have been utilized. Something about it not having to go through the Attorney General's office that way . . .
