Blowing Up The Tar Sands
(And the No. 1 oil supplier to the U.S.?)

A breach of Syncrude's trailing pond dam
Would close down Alberta's tar sands lock, stock and barrel.
Will Obama's approval of the KXL pipeline
Lock in their tar sands as our No. 1 source and put us in peril?

One earthen dam that's as leaky as hell
Could mean the end of a sizeable portion of Big Oil's personnel.
Where will Rex Tillerson find experienced replacements?
Are his recruiters checking out the Chinese bargain basements?

How long must the Chinese mourn those they have already lost
To the Eddie Stelmacn and Ralph Klein Chinese holocaust
And a probably preventable terrorist bomb,
Because Stelmach and Klein treated security as a Chinese sitcom?
