ANWR Safe for Now

I am so thrilled with the outcome of yesterday's vote in the US Senate,
stopping approval for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It is
an important short-term victory for wildlife and aboriginal peoples in both
Canada and the United States. While the Bush administration can choose to try
all of this again, for now the refuge is free from drilling.


Read more about this exciting conservation win and how it raises questions for
Canadian politicians, especially during a federal election.
