"On the contrary side, B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver argued
in The Globe and Mail that reconsidering Trans Mountain, which would
increase the number of oil tankers plying B.C.’s waters seven-fold,
would be a “triumph of democracy.”

Love to everyone that cares about our big beautiful coast and will do whatever then can to care and protect it and all it's inhabitants from foreign interests that do not care about us, our environment or our interests. Thank you! I hold my hands up to you!
Go away Kinder Morgan. No Pipelines! No Tankers.
Green is the way!! You are history! Like the Dinosaurs.
“The existing Kinder Morgan pipeline was built through
our reserve, and above our aquifer, at a time when it was illegal for us
to vote or hire a lawyer,” Spahan stated in an email on Jan. 17. “Due
to its location the expansion poses even greater risk to our drinking
water.”

Here's a little poem I wrote for you.
What would you do if someone threatened your water supply.
If your kid's puked brown goo?
Like what happened in Kalamazoo.
Could happen to any of you...
Sadly it's very true.
So I ask of you
On this very day,
help donate and support
the cause in any way.
Do it for your kids,
and grandkids too,
I never want anyone to
puke brown goo
Do you?
