NDP leader needs to flip-flop — again — or risk sinking in oilsandsby Eric DuhaimeNDP Leader Thomas Mulcair keeps sinking in quicksand on the oilsands issue.Two months ago, the leader of the official opposition was accused of treason when he visited Washington, D.C., and publicly criticized the TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline, a 1,800-km pipeline project that could ship 830,000 barrels a day of bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to Texan refineries.While U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to decide the fate of the pipeline in the near future, Mulcair’s statement made him look like someone who wanted to interfere in the American decision-making process and a traitor who backstabbed his fellow countrymen.That controversy did not seem to teach the NDP leader a lesson.

I’m not sure if my media colleagues in Ottawa don’t get it, don’t want to get it or are simply playing defence for Trudeau.They want you to think this is all about whether other people have said words “root causes” when it is about so much more than that.
