Why We Need To Say No To Keystone
Posted on October 29, 2013 in Videos
The oil that Canada has deep within its chunk of earth’s crust is hardly the light, clean oil that we can see and draw from on the daily in Saudi Arabia. It’s heavy, tar sand crude, which is some of the most expensive, difficult, and environmentally hazardous to refine.

In other words, big oil stands to gain. We don’t.

McDonald’s has kept its prices low forever, but as of it late it’s becoming more and more obvious that it’s at the expense of their employees’ welfare…and our tax dollars. On fast food workers alone, the US federal government spends around $7 billion in benefits like Medicaid and food stamps. Because hey, it’s one thing to bleed your employees; it’s another to charge $1.50 for a burger. Watch here, get outraged, and do something about it.
