Environmentally friendly indeed....

JD Irving LTD has just added another problem to their list: One of their oil rigs has sunk of the coast of NS. Well now....here we go again. As of right now there is no deadline for them to start cleaning up and have issued a statement saying the tanker won't start leaking for another 50 years. In essence: No worries, we'll get around to it, we're just going to do it on our own time. 

I thought they were supposed to be a Eco-friendly company, at least that's what I was told. Look at all the trees they are planting and jobs they are providing....yeah well that was before they became negligent. Some one needs to speak up and protest against this BS and make them pay for the lives they could damage. Especially all the wildlife they will destroy and ecosystems around the area. 

Way to go guys, way to go.

    They're not sure whether to try and retrieve it and risk more oil being spread or leave it there....sad really.

    Glad to see you here....even if you left one small town for another! LOL

    Well, if it's not supposed to leak for another 50 years than they should have no problem retrieving it now....hmmmm. Yes, I do like my small towns whether in Canada or in another country - I LOVE adventure!
