This is why normal rational people are afraid of Muslims

It isn't Islamophobia. It isn't racism.  It isn't your grammar, your diction, or your upbringing.

It's the fact a Muslim might turn around and attack people at gunpoint or knifepoint and that's allowed by Islam towards normal rational people without provocation that is more than concerning. I pointed it out in this post here.

It's that they can live a normal life, and lie to us all, and unleash evil that is justification to make any rational person concerned.

This is no different than being concerned about people in any other group that advocated violence - like a Montana militia, or a radical Christian sect, or a Mexican cartel or whatever. For any stereotype there is a kernel truth underlining the assumptions towards a group.

You think the oilsands is dirty? Do you know what the oilsands policies and practices are?

These are the Canadian oilsands operations everyone talks about but does not know:

I flew over it on my way back from Frankfurt. Bottom is town of Fort McMurray and the larger clear cut areas farther up are some oilsands projects.

I was looking around my government environment website for a number to complain about an asphalt operation near my home when I stumbled upon this website:

http://esrd.alberta.ca/focus/alberta-and-climate-change/default.aspx

What is the stated position on climate change for Alberta?  Climate change is real and Alberta contributes to it.

What have they done to reduce carbon emissions?  One example:

Under Alberta’s Specified Gas Emissions Regulation approximately 51 Mt of emissions have been reduced from business-as-usual levels. That’s like taking more than 10 million cars (basically, the population of the Czech Republic) off the road for one year.

How much money have they raised to invest in technology?
 

• Through the \$15/tonne price on carbon, \$503 million has been collected for the Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund - \$249 million has been invested into 100 innovative and clean energy projects.
• Government of Alberta has invested \$1.3 billion in two carbon capture and storage projects, which will be operational in 2016/2017 (reducing about 2.76 Mt a year).

That's almost \$2billion invested on cleaner technology.

So for all those armchair environmentalists that like to poke the oilsands as dirty; the same people that turn off lights for one hour on Earth day but still drive through fast food joints: what exactly does YOUR state/province claim about climate change and how much money has YOUR state/province invested in emissions reduction?

Remember, your cars are polluting that oil locally. Not in Alberta.

Alberta Premier spending $14 million on election while people laid off...

This is how sociopathic our premier in Alberta is: at a time when thousands of Albertans lost their jobs in the oil & gas sector he's willing to spend \$14 million dollars to hold an election instead of use that money on out of work families.



Last spring election cost \$13.8 million in 2012. Guaranteed with inflation it will be more this time. http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Record+setting+spring+election+cost+Alberta+taxpayers+million/7636664/story.html

That's the cost of a school or road project, or health care for a small community.

So if you want to stop wasting money on pointless elections, kick out the government!
