Dear Editor:
Re: Expert says oil supply could be exported, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 8.
Could Robyn Allan be wrong when she says: "This situation actually goes against the announced policy of Prime Minister Harper in 2008"?
The stated policy is quoted as "a reelected Conservative government would prohibit bitumen exports to countries that don't have emission reduction targets equivalent to Canada's." Didn't Canada just withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol - largely because instead of reducing our emission to six per cent below the 1990 level we increased them by 24 per cent?
How could there be a country with a worse reduction record? So did she mean that we have to struggle to find a country with a equivalently bad record? China, perhaps?
