   No kidding?  It was Wednesday that this was happening while he was trying to   
   intimidate other provinces about getting his damned toxic tar to foreign   
   countries.   
      
   And, uh . . .  note the last sentence.

   Nexen pipeline spills oil emulsion in northern Alberta   
      
   Province's energy watchdog says 31,500 barrels of oil emulsion were spilled   
      
      
   A pipeline owned by Nexen Energy ULC has spilled about 31,500 barrels of oil   
   "emulsion" in northern Alberta, the province's energy watchdog says.   
      
   The Alberta Energy Regulator said late on Thursday that it was responding to a   
   pipeline rupture about 36 kilometres southeast of Fort McMurray.   Emulsion is   
   a mixture of oil and water.   
      
   The regulator said the spill has affected about 16,000 square metres of land   
   concentrated along the pipeline right-of-way.  The area includes muskeg, but   
   the spill has not flowed into a water body, the agency said.   Cleanup is   
   under way and the pipeline    
   and a drilling site have been shut-in, stopping the release, according to the   
   regulator.   
      
   The rupture comes as the energy industry struggles to build support for a   
   series of major pipeline proposals designed to move fast-growing oil sands   
   production to new markets.   
      
   It was not immediately clear when the rupture on the Nexen line started. A   
   spokesman with the AER was not immediately available for comment.   
      
   Nexen is a unit of China's CNOOC Ltd.
