Just keep paying out the welfare money until it's all used up and just see where the free ride comes from, or used to come from.

"Enbridge oil spills will not be allowed to destroy our territory”

"Coastal First
Nations declared that the Enbridge 1,170km twin pipeline project would not
be allowed to bring tar sands oil through their territories"

Getting tired of that "our territory" "my territory" "their territory" If there was no progress in this province there would be no money so get on board.

How much do they pay for gasoline there? As if the new pipeline will mean cheaper motor fuel prices. FOUR levels of government now? A "nation" within a nation to deal with? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

I don't think this pipeline is progress. Its a huge massive risk to our ecosystem for very little in payback. The only ones to benefit will be Enbridge, the Communist Chinese, and maybe some bureaucrats with new revenue to spend. It does very little for our local economy beyond its build out... far less than our fisheries are worth and its only a matter of time before this would become a trade off for the fishery once we have our own BP disaster on our shores.

I think it is almost treasonous if this goes ahead considering the CO2 tax regime idea and that we would be economically subsidizing a communist society that stands against everything our country stands for... and taking massive risks with our environment to do this. If a pipeline like this isn't economic treason, than I don't know what would be.

Its a knee jerk reaction to simply label this a for or against business argument, for or against progress argument, or right verse left argument. Just because the natives have pride in protecting our land doesn't mean they should be called welfare bums for speaking out on all of ours behalf to protect the integrity of our ecosystem.

I happen to think they will get a lot of support and respect from the people of BC for taking a hard stand on this issue... they definitely have a role to play... it just might give them some legitimacy towards their claims of being stewards of our environment. If they sell out in the end for some 'money', then we would all for sure be able to call them hypocrites, but at this time its far from that and I think their motivations are positive.

The good news is the oil will go to where the money is no matter what, it's just in what form and to where it is delivered from. If it doesn't go through our Province it will go through someone else's or the States. The oil will move, don't kid yourself otherwise. The emerging nations for the most part have cash on hand and most of our and the States debts.
They will be calling the shots, the obstacles overcome. The Chinese negotiate with an outlook of 50-100 years. We are much more shortsighted and they will wear down the opposition.

People seem to forget that when they talk about the destination for this oil they alway say China, or the USA. Everyone seems to think that China will be taking most of this oil.

Dont bet on it. I suspect that the lions share will go by ship to California for refining and then distributed through out the South Western States from there.

Seems people have their heads locked on this China BS, the fact of the matter is the USA is our number one customer and without them we would be eating potatoes and rabbit stew.

Time people woke up and smelled the roses. Is is amazing how easily they can be duped to beleive in anything. I dont support this pipeline, mainly because of the possibility of damage to the coast line. As far as Im concerned they can build a land pipeline to the USA. The water route is only being considered because it is cheaper.

Considering what they charge us for gas and diesel, and the billions on dollars they make in profits I say **screw em** .

funny i see, automobiles in the back ground, I don't see too many deerskin wears.polyesters and eye glasses.

Seems like the only thing traditional are the drums with english letters on it.

Give me back my land = Give me back my beads.

the only long term jobs that will come of this pipeline are coastal oil clean up crews... get it..
I cant believe people want this when they can just turn on the tv and see exactly what an oil slick will do!!
