In case anyone checks in I've got a couple of links to keep you busy and informed about the unfolding disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The latest estimates are that over a million gallons a day are spilling into the Gulf - considerably more than BP's original estimate of 42,000 gallons. That and other oil spill related issues are covered here, including how BP could have prevented this with something called an acoustic switch which would have cost them $500,000.

Remember this is happening in a year where they are reporting record profits for the 1st quarter and as recently as last Sptember they were arguing againt stricter regulations.

There's a fair amount at that link to keep you busy but in case you're interested in what's happening to Omar Khadr and his kangaroo court trial, you can go here and here. It's truly unconscionable that Stephen Harper would do nothing to try and repatriate him considering he was picked up off a battlefield at the age of 15. Remember that means Stephen would do the same for you: Nothing!
