Editor’s Notes

The best laid plans . . .
RCMP and U.S. Army join to deny
public venue to Council of Canadians

I had planned that this issue, on a True North No Gas Friday, would focus exclusively on matters oil and gas. However, as we went to press we discovered that the paranoids acting on behalf of that turn-of-century leading example of cowardice, lying, and bullying, George W. Bush, have taken steps to prevent the Council of Canadians from having a previously secured public stage to challenge an August meeting of Canada, Mexico, and the United States on Security and Prosperity Partnership. Please see story below.

Also below are a range of pieces dealing with the booming oil question, from points of view that take into consideration the positions of Big Oil and those who oppose. As they say in Swahili, an informed people are a free people. There’s a lot of useful information below that will help provide a plausible foundation for True North No Gas Fridays. A lot more on this as time goes by. You can count on it.

Looking forward
