Next we talked about pipelines

Handouts

• Pipelines Package
• Pipelines Point of View

We watched a CBC news in review segment and answered some of the questions in the handout.  We also took an initial vote to see how the class felt about the pipeline before we have our debate.  Here's how you voted:

Do you agree with the proposal to build the Northern Gateway Pipeline?

• Yes = 7  — 35%
• No = 5 — 25%
• Not Sure = 8 — 40%

After we watch the videos, review the facts and have a debate, we will vote again to see if any of your opinions change.
