“I’m here to make sure the President of the United States doesn’t make the worst mistake he could possibly make, which is to approve this horrible pipeline which would be, like I said on stage, like lighting the fuse on a carbon bomb. We’ve got to leave the tar sands in the ground, the only way it can get out would be to come down through America. The Canadians don’t want it to come across their land, it shouldn’t come across ours and we’ve got to be out here and fight for that.”
