Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau.

While I don't agree with you on everything...I wish you weren't so pro-pipeline and that you were further left on economic issues...but your humane stand on refugees is simply the good and decent thing to do.

1. The stance of politicians on stuff like this is the real test.

2. Pro-pipeline is pro-business in a province with a serious need for jobs.

There is a relatively high unemployment rate in Alberta and the oil economy brings in money even as the pipeline ruins the ecology. Equivalent to West Virginia where the coal industry has ruined so much of the land.

And agreed that the Liberals are to the right of the NDP.

3. I didn't want to get into a discussion about the pipeline in this thread.

My point was simply that I appreciate what Trudeau is doing on this issue.

4. Agreed and understood. eom
