SHAME ON HOUSE OF COMMON HECKLERS or aren't they really BULLIES?

Update: I took this post down because it was acting odd. Makes you wonder why. I am reposting just for a few days...to see happens. I believe there have been some changes....I certainly hope so.




Isn't is absurd that in this day and age adults can be so rude to one another.

What is even more disturbing is these people are making $60,000+ a year - PAID by the taxpayers and they act WORSE than many children.

If children were to be so rude and disrespectful, we would be making great attempts to manage their terrible behaviour, people would look at us, or completely ignore us, our children would get bad grades, be sent to the principals office, offered medication possibly Ritalin or something to manage SHAMEFUL OUTBURSTS that we heard while Elizabeth May was trying to make a very important point.

The point being RESPECT!

SADLY as I heard on the video, there is VERY LITTLE RESPECT in the House of Commons. 

HOW DOES ANY WORK GET DONE when people act like that towards one another.
Oh right it doesn't that is why there are so many people suffering in f_king poverty and the climate is totally f_d and these supposed elected people are supposed to fix it...how can we have faith when it feels so hopeless ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HEAR AND SEE BEHAVIOUR LIKE THIS!!

How can any country respect ours if this is the way you work. HOW can we teach our children to respect anyone in government when you ACT LIKE THAT!!!

IT'S 2016, We aren't in the middle ages...no one is getting their head chopped off but you might think we lived in a time like that because the attitude is similar.


IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE. 
YOU NEED TO CLEAN UP YOUR ACT- OR GET NEW JOBS.
GROW UP- Or should we say MATURE UP- because YOU ACT WORSE THAN CHILDREN...worse than animals...shameful..disgusting...you should be VERY VERY ASHAMED!!!

Do you act like that at home. DO YOU TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO ACT LIKE THAT!!
Seriously, do you think you are doing good work when you act in such negative, disrespectful and selfish ways.



BULLYING ISN'T THAT WHAT THIS REALLY IS?
How do we stop children from committing suicide because of bullying when the government is setting an example like this. Seriously, would you treat your mother, sister, family in such a manner. If you do, you need help!!

Here are some links and you should inform yourself and take action.

 Please Come Out and Support 
 our Friend and our Planets Biodiversity to show that Old Growth Logging is an outdated and Unsustainable Practice that we cannot and will not accept anymore. 

Bring Signs. Bring Music. Bring Food to Share

Potluck to start off with and the court hearing starts at 2 



https://www.gofundme.com/ztcemwu6
https://www.gofundme.com/ztcemwu6



https://www.gofundme.com/ztcemwu6

Court 
Court injunctions have been sought by the company and are in effect until the end of March, meaning they are extracting 500-800 year old trees from unceded indigenous territory/ public land,and the ancient Rain Forest. They have now made it  illegal for anyone to interfere with their logging operations, meaning "road blocks" (only they can create roadblocks?)

These court injunctions however do not prevent people from travelling the logging roads, currently only accessible from Cowichan Lake and exercising their rights to camp, to hike the trail system, to participate in trail-building activities and to protest the logging activities, in whichever way they choose, remaining mindful that anyone who breaches the court order in effect in the Walbran valley until March 31st, may be subject to arrest for contempt of court, not a criminal code offense.

Blue Skies & Mudpuddles by Zipolita

So I was out for a walk today, in between the rain I went out as the sun came out, and I was dressed too warm. I was walking along and I was just so in tune...the first thing that caught my eye was a wasp nest had fallen to the ground. As I went to check it out, my foot squished and slipped in slippery mud on the walk. Yikes...I squealed as I nearly fell. I'm awake now.

And I was, the moss in the grass was so vibrate and green and lush as the sun shone on it. In the roots of the big trees, it had rained so much there was actual puddles, I had never seen that before...and then as I was walking that's when the puddles...jumped out at me and I saw the clouds and had to take these photos.

I have lots of ideas...might paint some or just play with them digitally. Just sharing for now.
Have a nice evening.

Interim Measures for Pipeline Reviews

The Government of Canada has introduced five principles that will guide its decision-making on major natural resource projects while the Government undertakes a review of environmental assessment processes. For two significant projects currently under review by the National Energy Board (NEB), the Trans Mountain Expansion project and Energy East Pipeline project, the Government of Canada will immediately take steps to ensure consistency with these principles.
Trans Mountain Expansion Project
The Government of Canada will:
  • Undertake deeper consultations with Indigenous peoples and provide funding to support participation in these consultations;
  • Assess the upstream greenhouse gas emissions associated with this project and make this information public; and,
  • Appoint a Ministerial Representative to engage communities, including Indigenous communities potentially affected by the project, to seek their views and report back to the Minister of Natural Resources.
To create space for these measures, the Minister of Natural Resources intends to seek an extension to the legislated time limit for the Government’s decision by four months (to seven months in total), extending the date from August 2016 to December 2016.
Energy East Pipeline
The Government of Canada will:
  • Undertake deeper consultations with Indigenous peoples potentially affected by the project and provide funding to support these consultations;
  • Help facilitate expanded public input into the National Energy Board review process, including public and community engagement activities. The Minister of Natural Resources intends to recommend the appointment of three temporary members to the National Energy Board; and,
  • Assess the upstream greenhouse gas emissions associated with this project and make this information public.
To create space for these measures, the Minister of Natural Resources intends to seek an extension to the legislated review time limit by six months (to 21 months in total) and seek an extension to the legislated time limit for the Government’s decision by three months (to six months in total), for an anticipated total of 27 months. 
The Minister of Natural Resources will look at all other projects undergoing an NEB review to determine whether additional measures are needed to meet the principles.

There is NO BENEFIT from this project- It MUST DIE!!!

IF we are to live this project MUST die. The proof is overwhelming. Elizabeth(see video below) is brilliant and eloquent and it is just common sense. So ridiculous that we must even deal with this at this time in history. 

I want to thank my friend for sharing this, what a great find. These old songs are so beautiful and have such powerful messages.

"Big Yellow Taxi"
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jonimitchell/bigyellowtaxi.html


They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot SPOT
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
Then they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer
Put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But LEAVE me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Come and took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

I said
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

I LOVE JONI!!!



YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT 'TIL IT'S GONE!

Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Devastated Killer Whales

"It’s been 26 years since the Exxon Valdez supertanker slammed into a reef, releasing nearly 11 million gallons of crude oil and destroying hundreds of thousands of animals, from sea otters to bald eagles, in and around Alaska’s Prince William Sound"

"The "Chugach transients," as they're called, are the stars of this three part documentary.

Before the spill, they numbered 22. Nine immediately disappeared and were presumed dead, likely from ingesting or inhaling oil. Another six went missing. Now the transients are down to seven. Not one calf has been born since the spill, and the two remaining females are too old to reproduce. The pod will soon die off."

 APRIL 2015 BURRARD INLET
THIS MUST NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!
Burrard Inlet- April 2015

Vancouver city officials posted a boater and watercraft alert on Twitter early Thursday, saying that the spill is “bunker fuel” and that it is toxic. They are warning people not to touch the fuel.

Bunker fuel is a type of liquid fuel used on ships which is fractionally distilled from crude oil. It is extremely crude and highly polluting.

Elizabeth May Testifies at the NEB KINDERMORGAN Hearings

Elizabeth raises her hands to Thank the First Nations taking a stand to protect OUR home.
BURNABY, BC — In the final argument phase of the National Energy Board hearing in the application from Trans Mountain to expand the Kinder Morgan pipeline from Alberta to the lower mainland of British Columbia, Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada catalogued the many failures of the process. Critical to her argument is that the lack of cross-examination meant that the evidence presented by Trans Mountain is unreliable and untested.
http://elizabethmaymp.ca/may-to-neb-kinder-morgan-expansion-fails-public-interest-test/ 

PLEASE INFORM YOURSELF-LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO



My notes from Video:
-Elizabeth printed the entire 23,000 pages, took out the irrelevant pages, 
-Conclusion- TransMountain set out to intimidate anyone from challenging it.
-Trans Mountain reject many areas as low risk 
-Claimed Oil spills are low likelihood?
-Claimed higher change of Avian flu will happen???
or that there'd be a threat to Milk production- milk cows very curious??
-What?? WTF???
-Where is credibility and experts
-UNPRECEDENTED- NO CROSS EXAMINATIONS


-NEB not qualified in anyway
-Timelines-
-Procedural Fairness
-Lack of Oral of Cross Examination
-Essence of Cross Examination to have Evidence Tested and Facts Examined
TransMountain had
-HUGE LEVEL OF DISCONNECT
-ENORMOUS FLAW IN PROCESS
Example:
IN A TEST- DIDN'T HAVE A RULER BIG ENOUGH TO COVER SPILL
-IT WAS SUGGESTED TO REDO THE STUDIES

TransMountain appears not to have reviewed the material in it's own application
Tankers are not their responsibility???


CREATED SALT WATER for test -SAID IT WAS SAME AS BURRARD INLET WATER 
Did NOT know the risks???  

Said we could never have spill because all the technology would prevent it.

Kalamazoo DISASTER-81% of SPILL occurred AFTER THE ALARMS WENT OFF. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalamazoo_River_oil_spill

The Kalamazoo River oil spill occurred in July 2010 when a pipeline operated by Enbridge (Line 6B) burst and flowed into Talmadge Creek, a tributary of the Kalamazoo River. A six-foot break in the pipeline resulted in the largest inland oil spill, and one of the costliest spills in U.S. history. The pipeline carries diluted bitumen (dilbit), a heavy crude oil from Canada's Athabasca oil sands to the United States. Following the spill, the volatile hydrocarbon diluents evaporated, leaving the heavier bitumen to sink in the water column. Thirty-five miles of the Kalamazoo River were closed for clean-up until June 2012, when portions of the river were re-opened. On March 14, 2013 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ordered Enbridge to return to dredge portions of the river to remove submerged oil and oil-contaminated sediment.

On Sunday, July 25, 2010, at about 5:58 p.m. EDT, a 40-foot pipe segment in Line 6B, located approximately 0.6 of a mile downstream of the Marshall, Michigan pump station, ruptured.[1] The rupture in the Enbridge Energy pipeline caused a 1,100,000 US gallons (4,200 m3) spill of diluted bitumen or heavy crude oil originating from Canada (Alberta and Saskatchewan) into Talmadge Creek in Calhoun County, Michigan, which flows into the Kalamazoo River. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) later estimated the spill to be in excess of 1 million US gallons (3,800 m3) [clarification needed].[2] On 29 July 2010, the Calhoun County Health Department asked 30 to 50 households to evacuate, and twice as many were advised not to drink their water.[3] 
Read More Here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalamazoo_River_oil_spill

Though alarms sounded in Enbridge's Edmonton headquarters at the time of the rupture, it was eighteen hours before a Michigan utilities employee reported oil spilling and the pipeline company learned of the spill. Meanwhile, pipeline operators had thought the alarms were possibly caused by a bubble in the pipeline and, while for some time it was shut down, they also increased pressure for periods of hours to try to clear the possible blockage, spilling more oil.[4]

Burrard Inlet-English Bay- Toxic Heavy Fuel Spill-DO NOT TOUCH-TOXIC

 http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2015/04/burrard-inlet-english-bay-toxic-heavy.html 




Vancouver fire rescue officials, who are working with the city and the Canadian Coast Guard to clean up the spill, say about one tonne of oil has already been recovered. Spill BC is also towing a 1,000-foot boom to collect oil.

Vancouver city officials posted a boater and watercraft alert on Twitter early Thursday, saying that the spill is “bunker fuel” and that it is toxic. They are warning people not to touch the fuel.

Bunker fuel is a type of liquid fuel used on ships which is fractionally distilled from crude oil. It is extremely crude and highly polluting.
