Canada Pushing Dirty Tar Sands Oil in D.C.

If you need any evidence that Canada has turned into a rogue petrostate, look no further than the Canadian government's desperate attempts to influence policymakers in Washington by placing ads all over the American capital. The Alberta tar sands oil has blinded the Canadian government to the dangerous implications for global warming (the recent Calgary flooding being the latest example of a changing climate), pollution and health.

Us Americans will not allow a foreign government -- even one as friendly as our neighbor to the north -- to attempt to use our land to build a dangerous pipeline to transport dirty tar sands oil to Gulf Coast refineries to be shipped to China. All for 35 permanent jobs and the risk of another toxic pipeline spill.

We will continue to pressure John Kerry's State Department and President Obama to reject the dangerous and unnecessary Keystone XL Pipeline.
