The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board has granted permission for BP to explore deepwater parcels for oil.

Are we forgetting what happened with BP last time they caused a problem on the North American East Coast?!
A little reminder….
I believe it is not socially or ethically correct to grant BP exploration rights to deepwater parcels until they have shown improved technology on sustaining the environment they work in. The disaster BP caused only a sheer couple years ago to the environment just south of Nova Scotia was a mess. The habitats of many ecosystems were endangered and still are till today. I believe BP should not get permission to explore Canadian territories for oil.
