Transcanada Corp: Parliament Hill

Psychology Professor Dept: I don t want to say I didn t do everything I could to try to stop this thing, because I think it s so awful, said Wood, a retired psychology professor in Ottawa, as she explained why she volunteered to be arrested by stepping over a metal perimeter fence set up by the police on Parliament Hill on Monday, according to The Star. Greenpeace and other groups organized a demonstration on Parliament Hill on Monday to express their disagreement with the Conservative government for having approved the $7 billion TransCanada Corp. pipeline extension and protest oil sands development in general and oTTAWA Jo Wood, 72, sat with her knees tucked up against her floral blouse behind the barricade, her light sun hat contrasting with the dark pants of the police officer standing guard behind her. This thing is the 2,700-kilometre proposed Keystone XL pipeline extension that would transport oil from Alberta to the southern United States. Activists argue it would be harmful to the environment on both sides of the border. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
