Plains Midstream Canada Dept: In the end, the little guys with the green thumbs won, according to Montreal Gazette. "It was never 'I want to win against the big guy.' I was more concerned about the people here and their needs," Francisco Huezo said Wednesday while surveying the remaining green leaves sprouting from dirt plots and it was a battle between a group of gardeners carrying spades and pitchforks and a giant pipeline company lining up their bulldozers. Plains Midstream Canada has backed off its plans to start construction of a pipeline in north Edmonton that would have destroyed a summer's work by community gardeners. The company said it will now wait until Oct. 1, giving the group enough time to harvest their bounty. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
