Enbridge Video Stunningly Misleading

For compulsive watchers of Enbridge Inc., the spill-crazy [1] pipeline company that wants to pipe tar sands crude to the Canadian West Coast - or just for students of the barefaced lie - this video [2] can't be beaten.

It purports to show the pipeline route, including an open sea exodus where tankers will pass from the proposed Kitimat, British Columbia oil port.

But as this video [3]documents, the Enbridge auteurs airbrushed out 1,000 square kilometres of islands and rocks within the exit channel.

Given the criticism [4], the company has added a note saying, "The animation is for illustrative purposes only. It is meant to be broadly representational, not to scale."

Broadly representing a completely false image.
