No, there’s nothing here relevant to iPhones, programming, or Apple … but this tickled our funny bones too much to not pass on. See, in case you haven’t heard, there’s this girl from Alaska running for something or other down south, and some people are upset about that. In particular, about this Alaskan lady having gone to some effort to award an LNG pipeline contract to TransCanada. And why, you ask, is that?
Guess which foreign power will own the pipeline and control the flow of Alaska’s natural gas? Guess which foreign power will be able to decide how much it wants to charge Alaska for the use of the only viable way to get its gas to the lower 48? The country that tried to spread lies about a major presidential candidate this spring before the Ohio primary, because its conservative government favors John McCain’s energy policy of dependence on foreign oil over Barack Obama’s policy of energy independence. Give up?
Canada.
Yes, even Canada can be a dangerous foreign power when its lobbyists are also bundlers for all of the major presidential candidates except Obama, and its prime minister tells lies about Obama and it is trying to sell its dirty, greenhouse gas generating oilsands oil to America even though Obama and the nation’s mayors do not want it. The multibillion dollar gas pipeline deal that Sarah Palin is so proud of, the one that she has revoked Exxon’s oil leases on the Northern Slopes for, is with a Canadian Company called TransCanada. Once that pipeline is built, a foreign company will control Alaska’s natural gas flow.
Now, that is foreign energy dependence that we can count on.
Yes, indeed! TREMBLE before us scary DANGEROUS Canadians, U.S. voters! Mwahahahaha!!
