Hi mARToons fan!

 

Pipelines are big news this week in our fair country.

 

My thoughts?  I’ll play it safe and say the jury is still out on the nationwide protests that took place.

 

Is this Canada’s “View Nam”?

 

The real question is – and I’d like to hear more from the experts – did the protests win public sympathy?

 

You have to “win the hearts and minds” of the public.

 

I heard voice clips on the radio from folks ticked off that they couldn’t get to work; from companies who couldn’t get their goods through.

 

I also saw comments on social media calling those complainers whiners and hypocrites.

 

So overall, is the public on side with all of this? What is the silent majority saying? To be continued…
