Pipeline springs leak just as provincial preems sit down to ease pipeline regulations

This is too much!

Just as the Canadian provincial premiers are sitting down to hammer out an agreement on more deregulation for the oil industry, news leaks out about a million gallon oil spill nearby Fort Mac.

I detect the long arm of eco-terrorist Wiebo Ludwig reaching out from beyond the grave!

Wiebo was a bit of an odd duck. He was a "Christian environmentalist," although it didn't seem that either the Christians or the environmentalists were particularly keen to be associated with him.

And Wiebo believed in walking the walk. Went to jail for his direct action against sour gas. Jesus once engaged in some direct action with those money guys at the temple. It's a pity that more Christians aren't willing to walk the walk.

What would Jesus do about climate change?

I wonder where Jesus would stand on the carbon tax?

With that "render unto Caesar" rant He pretty much threw His lot in with the statist pay-your-taxes crowd, which might incline one to conclude that He would advocate paying whatever taxes were decreed by the government of the day.

Then again, He did throw the money-men out of The Temple.

His followers today do not generally play a significant role in the battle to save the planet. Sure, you get the odd Christian/Environmentalist like Wiebo Ludwig, but neither the Christians or the Environmentalists seem to be particularly eager to embrace that legacy.

Yet one would think Jesus might have an opinion about the mess we've made of the world God created.

I think He'd be pissed off.
