A five year battle against a key component of plans to pipe tar sands bitumen through Quebec and to the eastern United States quietly came to an end this summer. In mid-July, Montreal Pipe Line Ltd., owned by Shell Oil, Suncor and Imperial Oil, withdrew its request with the Commission de protection du territoire [&#8230;]]]></description>

The man who brought us Elvis Gratton, the short film based on Michèle Lalonde&#8217;s poem &#8216;Speak White&#8217;, and the ode to les Patriotes 15 février 1839 was never at a lack for words and provoked controversy over the years, particularly with comments about David Suzuki [&#8230;]]]></description>
