Pipeline will solve all our problems

There has been talk of a seal cull to protect the salmon and feed the orcas. Why concern ourselves with such bad science and 1950s logic when the pipeline is going to solve all our problems?

After the first inevitable bitumen spill in coastal waters, there will be an automatic cull of seals, sea lions, whales, dolphins, otters, sea birds and maybe even some pesky eagles. Not to mention all those silly fish and countless invertebrates on the sea floor.

The pipeline and increased tanker traffic (see inevitable spill) will also help B.C. get rid of the tourism we love to hate and the jobs that come with it. Maybe the cull should take place at the National Energy Board.
