Carlin said it best...

RIP George Carlin, who skillfully rewrote the lyrics to America the Beautiful to reflect the unfortunate environmental reality of not just our neighbours to the south, but cringingly (yes yes, I made up another word), us too. This is what our prime minister's stonewalling is doing for Canada.

"Oh beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain. For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain. America, America, man sheds his waste on thee. And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea."

RIP George. RIP Alberta. RIP Ontario. RIP Newfoundland. RIP Saskatchewan. You get the picture.
