November 30, 2012 - FRACK POKER
(The Biggest Gambling Game in Canada)

CAPP's Big Poker Bluff (One of the top ten quotes of the Frack Era from CAPP's nervous David Pryce on CBC Television on link below):
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2012/11/30/calgary-hydraulic-fracking-oil-cochrane-guidelines.html
We've hydraulicly fracked about 175,000 wells
in Western Canada without any problems !!!

There is plenty of water (for fracking). It's just not in all the right places. It's not that (we) have a water resource problem; we have a water distribution problem.
