Despite the Prime Minister's dumb exhortations.
"Incinerated alive" is a tough way to go.
Being burned in effigy does not an authority make,
Nor does having a daddy who's a Big Oil exec
mean Stevie would know.
When will those rich Koch boys put up or shut up
And build Steve Harper an Alberta refinery?
Will they wait till the Chinese start breaking ground
And then mount a massive anti-Chinese campaign on Canadian TV?
What do the Kochs know that Steve Harper doesn't or ignores?
That the natural gas Steve needs for extraction
will be exhausted and gone by two thousand and thirty?
The irony is that compared to his tar sands
Steve's natural gas is not nearly as dirty.
At the phenomenal rate that Steve is extracting
His tar sands bitumen will last about forty more years.
Why would that worry the likes of Steve Harper?
He, too, will be gone with his tar sands profiteers.
