The pipeline approval process starts this week in Kitimat and is estimated to take up to 18 months. Fast forward a year. An oil industry front group headquartered in the office of Alberta tar sands legal specialists McLennan Ross announces it will be launching an advertising campaign attacking Northern Gateway critics. The front group refuses to disclose its funding source for the ad campaign. The group, Ethical
