12 yr old Victoria Grant explains how banks commit fraud
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST.
A really good friend of mines 15 year old daughter Bree Tomei has been reported missing, there is a chance she was abducted with 4 other young girls by a 33 year old man. This took place in CALGARY ALBERTA CANADA, there is a very good chance that she has left the Calgary area and headed elsewhere so it is important for all of Canada to be looking for her right now. This could save her and other girls lives. If you think you’ve seen this girl please contact the Calgary Police department @ 403-266-1234. Please help me out and even if you don’t live in Canada signal boost this in case someone who follows you happens to. The Tomei’s are absolutely incredible people and it is heart breaking to see them suffer through this. Any help is endlessly appreciated. I will post more information as I receive it.

This is a Canadian based video regarding the aspects of tar sands oil extraction that politicians and industry will not talk about.
This method of extraction is man’s desperate last gasp to hold on to the nonnegotiable way of life that is completely unsustainable. It is absolutely CRAZY to sacrifice human health, wildlife health, and environmental health to continue with our infinite growth, petro-chemical based way of life.
WE ARE CRAZY TO ALLOW THIS.

Star trails swirl through candy-colored auroras in a sweet new view of Sugar Lake in British Columbia, Canada, released this week.
Taken in July, the long-exposure picture illustrates how stars seem to rotate around what’s known as the celestial north pole, an imaginary point in the sky closest to the star Polaris—the dot of light at top left—that seems to intersect Earth’s axis of rotation.

Official map of the Keystone Pipeline XL, from the U.S. Department of State.
The State department has dedicated a special website, www.keystonepipeline-xl.state.gov, dedicated just to the controversial pipeline plan. The pipe will flow oil sand crude from Canada all the way to Texas. This oil be sold in international markets, not U.S. markets. The project is now under review by the EPA, and a decision will be made at the end of the year to approve, reject, or alter the plan.
If you haven’t heard, about 100 protesters, some famous, have been arrested in acts of civil disobedience this past weekend at the White House.

Wikileaks Bombshell: Nations rushing to "carve up" Arctic resources due to melting ice
BBC has a dramatic report on the latest Wikileaks cables involving Hilary Clinton, Stephen Harper, and NATO. Northern nations are scrambling to stake claims in fresh batches of unclaimed natural resources such as oil, aluminum, and rubies. The resources are being exposed by melting ice in the Arctic, which is expected to be ice free within a “two years.”
Hilary Clinton (click above for video), pays lip service to climate change then pivots to promote development, mining, and trade in the Arctic.
The cables also show that Canadian Prime Minister Harper siding with Russia to object to a NATO presence in the area. Harper is quoted as saying, that, “some European countries without Arctic territories were trying to use Nato to give them “influence in an area ‘where they don’t belong’”.”
British oil company Cairn Energy are in the vanguard of the Arctic oil rush. The company’s commercial director Simon Thomson told (BBC’s) Newsnight “we’re leading the charge”.
Instead of seeing the melting of the Arctic ice cap as a spur to action on climate change, oil companies like Cairn are rushing in to extract the very fossil fuels that caused the melting in the first place
