   Foreign oil companies destroying our land;   
   the arrogant rightwing government and voters of Alberta;   
   the Harper government;   
   and those who've supported the tarsands by buying shares in them.   
      
   Who will benefit?   
   - anyone who drives a vehicle or has to heat their home   
   - anyone who has been paying more for food because of high costs of   
   transporting it   
   - anyone who lives near the tarsands and has been experiencing everything from   
   poisoned air to poisoned water   
   - anyone who has been wise enough to invest in green energy and renewable   
   resource industries   
   - anyone who is tired of our extreme weather and recent 'natural' disasters and   
   the cost of insuring against them   
   - animals that are dying because of the tarsands toxic tailponds   
   - farmers who rely on lots of clean water for their crops   
   - people who have allergies; asthma; copd; lyme disease and other   
   environment-related illnesses   
      
   I could go on and on . . . . but you wouldn't be able to take in all I could   
   write here.  So enough to say:
