but they don't want a Canadian pipeline in their land. We go to wars for them but do they care about being neighbourly towards us? Never!
From YahooFinance:
.... Opponents of a proposed pipeline to carry Canadian oil south to the U.S. Gulf Coast have carved a message of resistance into a Nebraska field in the project's path.
The 32-hectare artwork, which was done last week and reads "Heartland#NoKXL," is the latest protest environmentalists and landowners have employed against TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline.
Critics of the pipeline want President Barack Obama to reject the project because they fear it could contaminate groundwater and contribute to pollution.
TransCanada (TSX:TRP.TO - News) has said the pipeline will have upgraded safety measures, including remote control shut-off valves and frequent inspections. It has already built the southern leg of the pipeline between Oklahoma and Texas.
The section of the project that still needs approval would cross Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas.
