She works in video, photography, web design and development, blogging, social media and loves to paint when she can find the time. She also loves to help promote artists & small businesses with her sharp social media skills. Her muse is her daughter, Angel.

The paintings featured here are from a series she is developing called #SaveOurCoast which originated on her blog Tina Winterlik Blog http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2012/10/way-to-go-bc-save-our-coast.html back in 2010 when others were starting to protest against big oil with #noTankers #noPipeline.

She hopes that the paintings of her daughter enjoying a lovely day playing at the beach will help raise awareness of what we stand to lose if there is a major spill. We must turn to alternative energies.

This is an Oil and Gas Super Highway that is fueled by the tar sands and a fractured land
2000 Super Tankers a year are proposed to carve through these waters

#ShellNo to Arctic Drilling

Published on Jul 29, 2015

In May, the Obama administration approved Shell's plan to explore for oil off the coast of Alaska in the Arctic Ocean. Environmentalists are appalled, fearing that Shell's plan can only lead to disaster. There have been several protests, and one in Portland today left activists dangling from a bridge for hours.

Take action here.

I was devastated today! When I heard that the Enbridge Pipeline was approved, I wanted to throw up.

I was so sad, I was in disbelief. How? After all the petitions, rallies, blogposts, ....Harper still pushed it threw. How EVIL!!

I took a nap...I just wanted to forget...I knew the rally was on at 5:30 but I felt so low I almost didn't go. But I did, Angel and I both went and I am so glad. I feel better now. I feel united. We are in for the fight of our lives I fear.

Here is the video I did manage to get. So sad because my battery ran out and then my camera space was full so I missed some of the best parts, especially Ta'Kaiya's songs and but here is what I did get.

Listen to what these people have to say, especially these brave women. Come on ladies of BC, Canada, US, Mexico, The World, we have the power, we have a voice and it's time it was heard. Let's protect OUR CHILDREN and MOTHER EARTH and get behind them and support them in anyway we can.

This is going to take effort from the entire INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!! We need to shut down the real TERRORIST and we all know who it is...it's HARPER!! He needs to go to jail for crimes against nature and humanity. Correction : July 2nd is the next rally- GET OUT THERE!!

Former Conservative Activist & NDP MLA Fraser Smith- Backs Elizabeth May

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

Prominent former Conservative activist and NDP MLA join forces to back Elizabeth May

A prominent former Conservative and Reform party activist, Fraser Smith, and a former NDP MLA, Don Scott, joined forces today with Elizabeth May for a media conference and “wave” to passing motorists in Sidney. The event took place beside a number of large highway election signs from all candidates in Saanich Gulf Islands, which also now includes a giant sign, commissioned by Smith, stating “CANADA NEEDS ELIZABETH MAY – BUT ONLY YOU CAN ELECT HER”.

“If we all vote as we have in the past, nothing will change for Canada. We will continue to be governed by large parties that like things the way they are,” said Smith. “It is true that Elizabeth May is a tree hugger. But she is also a very good conservative when it comes to the economy, and she is a rabid liberal when it comes to ensuring that we find the ways to help those who cannot help themselves.” Fraser Smith

Energy Security / Climate Action

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

Listen to what Adriane Carr has to say about Energy Security and Climate Action

Climate change is not just an environmental issue. It is an economic, social, and global security issue.

It is the most significant issue of our times -- despite the fact that the other major parties are not seriously discussing it in this election. Our action or inaction now will have repercussions planet-wide, for generations.

The majority of Canadians want Canada to take the action needed to meet our international obligations on climate change. We want Canada to be a global leader, not a laggard. By investing aggressively in energy conservation and renewable energy by acting now we strengthen our economy. We improve our chances of averting catastrophic climate change. We put ourselves on the path of achieving long-term energy security.

As a Green MP in Parliament I will be the champion in Ottawa that Vancouver needs in its pursuit of the "greenest city" vision to be a global leader in climate action.

This would include pushing the federal government to:

Become a global leader in combating climate change, leaving no stone unturned in finding ways to conserve energy, reduce greenhouse gas emission, and ramp up the development and use of renewable energy. That includes putting an economy-wide price on carbon to level the playing field and entice investment in renewables.

End the subsidies to the oil and gas industry and use the funds instead to expand federal programs of specific importance to Vancouver such as for energy retrofits of buildings, including homes, low income housing, schools and hospitals, and a national solar roof program.

Create a secure "green bonds" investment program to raise funds for cities to improve mass transit and undertake other programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In the end, if we make the right decisions now, we will end up with a stronger economy, greater energy security, healthier communities and the satisfaction of knowing that we did our very best to minimize the impacts of climate change.

You've got the power. Vote Carr.

Vote Green Vancouver-A Green City Needs a Green MP

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

Tonight I've decided, I'm definitely voting Green, someone said somewhere that could be throwing away a vote, but it's not. Voting for something you don't believe in, that's throwing away a vote. We need to stick together on this. We have to, our future depends on it. Adriane Carr is an excellent choice and so is Elizabeth May.
Come on people, Take a Stand!!!

Vote Green for a Better Vancouver, for a Better Canada, for a Better World.

Vote Green if you want a future, because the way were heading there is no future!!!
