According to Bill McKibben who was in Vancouver a couple of days ago, there are tons of people ready to fight. <br /><br />Have read that Enbridge has offered First Nations landowners a 10% equity stake ($550 Million) in exchange for right of way. If the damn pipeline gets built, and when, not if, the oil leaks/spills start, all the money in the world won't restore the ecosystem for decades to come.LMAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-35492746932799832772011-11-18T09:00:56.967-08:002011-11-18T09:00:56.967-08:00Hi, LMA.

Their livelihood is largely fishing. They're also the brave souls who took to their small boats in the dark of night to rescue the passengers of the sinking BC ferry Queen of the North which now rests in 600 feet of water and lies at the threshold of the proposed tanker facility.<br /><br />These people are true heroes in British Columbia and they're resolved to stand and fight Enbridge and Harper if it comes down to that.<br /><br />I have never been an activist of any sort but this cause is so compelling I feel I have no choice.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-63436568753891475262011-11-18T08:33:02.511-08:002011-11-18T08:33:02.511-08:00Found a couple of petitions over at Forestethics a...Found a couple of petitions over at Forestethics and Greenpeace, so I'm now part of the fight.
