Oww, my sides would be hurting from laughing at the irony of this situation, if it weren’t a deadly serious joke that the Conservatives are playing on Canadians.
On a public relations mission to convince the public that the BC coast will be safe from oil spills, the clean-up vessel ran aground on a sandbar, and was delayed by hours.
British Columbia’s largest oil spill response vessel got stuck on a sandbar en route to a federal news conference where Monday about strengthening Canada’s oil spill defences.
This was only a test. If this had been a real emergency, your coastline would be covered in oil. Joe Oliver would be cackling.
You really have to love it when a press conference fails so badly for any politician hell bent on pitching a catastrophic idea destined to ruin lives and our environment.
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff 
Quite frankly neither Oliver nor Harper would care if, there was a tanker spill or an Enjbridge pipe burst. Harper very stupidly did shut down, the busiest Rescue Base.
It is common knowledge the seas into Kitimat, are one of the most treacherous in the world. However. Harper could keep on sailing through the oil spill.
Same with Enbridge having a pipe burst. They want to string a pipeline through a Province, that has numerous earthquakes, avalanches, mudslides, rock slides, forest fires and swift flooded rivers, that carry away highways and homes. Harper would patch the pipe and, keep right on pumping. Enbridge hasn’t cleaned up, their last nearly 1000 oil spills.
Harper and Premier Redford are rabid for money. They will do what ever it takes to, force the Enbridge pipeline, into BC. This Province relies on Tourism. BC can’t afford a pipe burst nor, a tanker spill. We can all see how much Harper and Redford, give a damn about BC?
Petro-China offered to build the Enbridge pipeline, very quickly and very cheaply. Premier Redford is eying, American War Vets, to build the Keystone out of Alberta.
