"Exasperated Canadian legislators grilled the head of BP Plc (BP.L) Canadian unit on Thursday, concerned about the risks of the company’s plans to drill in Arctic waters after the catastrophic Gulf of Mexico oil spill."

1. What do you expect??
It is hard for slime to change over night.

It is time for all bp execs to be tried for murder. They would expect the same for you.

3. It's not a spill. It is industrial dumping and BP should prosecuted for it.

5. Then there is this hubris from the article:
"BP and other oil companies urged Canadian regulators to drop a requirement stipulating that companies operating in the Arctic had to drill relief wells in the same season as the primary well"

Totally clueless assholes.

6. Kicking this in hopes it gets to the front page.
I swear they put good looking, sweet talking people out in front who are thieving from you with a smile on their face like a quick change artist. The only way this will stop is in the bright light of day.
