A hundred, eh? Wow.

Those black and white robes. Created with cotton or that darn petro chemical called polyester? If not cotton I call hypocrites. One hunnert people, eh? How many zeros after the decimal point would that be in relation to our population? 2/3rds of B.C. is against this pipeline? That being said our population must be about 150 people in this ‘burg. Carry on, folks.

People this is a good thing. It will bring jobs jobs. When they started logging and the tree hugers were trying to stop the loggers. They gave up and we are still logging. Suck it up people it is coming after they meet there conditions. And your family friends cousin will be working for the company. Good times

“Fish oil not crude oil”, says the sign. I don’t think Crappy Tire sells fish/motor oil yet. I hope they eventually sell non-detergent fish oil. 5-W40 hopefully. Clueless people. Very sad. IMO.

Pipeline protestors why are they not working ? Perhaps they need jobs then they would have no time to protest .
Perhaps jobs working for the safety of the pipeline and Canada’s resources .

One would guess that in order to have time to protest one must have a lot of spare time.
The government treats some groups too well. Spoiled people like to complain.
Time to get some jobs protesters.

I’ll mark you 5 down as sitting on the fence.LOL

I’ll protest with my check book and my vote!

How many of the 100 drove down? Where did their shoes and sandals come from? They weren’t made in PG! I hope those robes are insulated, may be a lonely cold winter outside protesting.
So why are they biting the Federal hand that feeds them?

Seems to me there was a lot less people turning out for the HST protest and look what happened there. Just goes to show that placard carrying numbers really don’t mean squat when it comes to fighting these kinds of issues. It will be done in court and will take years until Enbridge gives up, just like the mac pipeline.

Same old same old response from the pro crowd…if you don’t like the pipeline go live in a cave and burn wood…yaaaawwwwwwnnnnn. With a narrow vision like that I am sure you all disappear when you turn sideways.

If the robe fits…

FN can’t veto the pipeline. I didn’t elect them that I’m aware of.

FN have never ceded their rights. The Supreme Court recognizes this fact already… it is part of common law. How Harper intends to do a run around the Supreme Court is anyone’s guess, but attacking the court, as he has done recently, doesn’t seem like a winning combination.

BC does not have signed treaties in which to rely on even if our governments wanted to push this through. Anywhere else in Canada the FN are under treaty and its a different story, and they have far less legal rights to veto a project like this… not so in BC. Until the FN have signed treaties the Supreme Court of Canada does recognize their veto power on their traditional lands.

G morning huh. With the HST referendum there was a perception that by getting rid of it would put money in everyone’s pocket.
Signing a referendum against N Gateway would be a vote against whatever financial benefits the pipeline will offer BC and Canada. So I would say its a lost cause from the get go…

Everyone has to keep in mind, yes we need oil and use it in many different ways. However this is a raw product bitumen and will be sent to china for processing for their use and for export. As with the raw logs they get in the North West they develop all the products and ship them back across. We have all the risk they make all the money and produce all the jobs and win on both ends as they also hold major investments in Alberta and with Enbridge. Should a spill happen on the coast and tourism and fishing devastated not their problem, it a land spill happens and a major river or rivers affected not their problem, we have all the risk and in the end pay the price. We know the industries we have do we allow its destruction for another that gives someone else the benefit?

“How many of the 100 drove down? Where did their shoes and sandals come from? They weren’t made in PG!”

This BS argument gets real old real fast. It’s like you either fully support every business venture complete without lack of regulations or laws, or you go to the other end of the spectrum and live in a cave. Such a simple-minded concept, but one that fits with the lowest common denominator which is very prevalent on this site.

I simply do not understand that.

Deep down there are people in every natural resource sector who would tell you they love their work, but they don’t necessarily agree with the way they do it. My uncle, who was a faller for over 45 years used to say that he loved logging but he didn’t love the way they did it sometimes.

Eagle: “FN have never ceded their rights. The Supreme Court recognizes this fact already… it is part of common law.”

The law states they must be ‘consulted’, but nobody can seem to agree on what that means. It is not the same thing as veto power.

Howard: “This BS argument gets real old real fast.”

I see what you mean. It’s kind of like, “It’s not a matter of ‘if’ a spill will happen, but ‘when’.

Well duh JB – tankers and pipelines both have 100% failure rates, doncha know – just ask David Suzuki

David Suzooki owns four houses. His natural gas bills for them ought to be a pip.

Looking forward to the next “pro-Enbridge” pipeline rally… oh wait a minute… there hasn’t been any.

So let’s see if my math is correct; 100+ protestors against the pipeline, and zero (0) for the pipeline. Got it!

Hey I have an idea, why don’t the five or six of you pro-Enbridge commenters, on this discussion thread, organize a rally? Let’s see how many people show up? Maybe Enbridge can chip in a bit of it’s “dirty oil” money to increase interest and attendance?

There is the vocal minority and then there is the silent majority. See if you can figure out who’s who.

Anyone who thinks that we are either for or against this pipeline is not useing good statistics.

As per Tuesdays latest Angus Reid Poll:

For 38%
Against 40%
Undecided 22%

The jury is out.

And that is for BC.
