"I'd say the province isn't doing a good job," Bankes said when an Alberta court quashed the First Nation's initial appeal last year.

"The decision at trial was essentially that the First Nation missed the deadline for commencing its judicial re-view," Bankes said. "I am suggesting that that's incorrect, and that time should start to run . . . when the First Nation gets actual notice from the Crown."

I am against using the Bitumite from the Athabaskan Tar Sands, I am against the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and I am against the supertankers. I have noticed a singular lack of 'church' opposition to these projects. Here is a link which may encourage communities to get Christian churches in their communities more involved.
