According to the site, Tar Sands Blockader Ramsey Sprague chained himself to the sound equipment that was next to the projection screen where Tom Hamilton, Manager of Quality and Compliance for TransCanada’s Keystone XL Pipeline was giving a speech. After he was chained, Ramsey gave a speech of his own on "the irony of TransCanada lecturing others on safety and compliance".

that we read about every day on the internet. Between fracking actions, tar sands actions, idle no more, mountain top blasting protests, actions against the new coal export terminals, there is something pretty much every day.

Somehow it can't make the news though.

awesome vid. Thanks for the link.
