The pipeline was delayed solely because of concerns expressed by Americans, correct? Why is the NDP only now going down to voice their view on the pipeline? I'm finding it hard to interpret these actions as anything but purely selfish in nature. If they wanted to make their viewpoint heard in the States, why didn't they do it before the door was opened by delays? I can't come to any other conclusion than that the NDP is doing this only for their own political gain, and is in the process supporting the interests of some Americans at the expense of the interests of some Canadians. I wouldn't think this if they did this before the pipeline was delayed by the US government. The timing is just way too suspect.
At least Harper should have some ammo to fire back at the NDP if they ever accuse him of being in bed with American politicians.
