Naomi Klein was arrested today in the peaceful Washington Keystone XL tarsands pipeline protests. See Toronto Star article! I am impressed by the tenacity and commitment of so many high-profile and low-profile Canadian and American citizens in Washington. Mark your calendars for September 26 in Ottawa - hopefully it won't be too late. A number of high-profile citizens and organizations including the Council of Canadians, the Indigenous Environmental Network, and Greenpeace Canada, are calling on Canada and the U.S. to stop the tar sands - specifically, for Obama NOT to approve the Keystone XL pipeline - and keep the carbon in the ground! They are issuing a call for a peaceful, very well-behaved, all ages, sit-in on September 26 in Ottawa.
