“Water, Water Everywhere…

By Kim, on February 26th, 2014

Tweet

…and not a drop to drink.”

Update at bottom of post

I live in a rural area of the Capital Region.  Residents are not serviced with water here, you have to figure it out for yourself.  I am also a renter, or lessee, thus, not in a position to finance a . . . → Read More: “Water, Water Everywhere…

Lies and Spin, BC Liberal Style (Not on the Radar)

By Kim, on June 2nd, 2013

Tweet

Christy Clark (or rather, her lackey Terry Lake) declared yesterday that the BC Government does not support the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline at this time.  Immediately, this news was plastered over all the media.  Environmental Orgs from Dogwood Initiative to Greenpeace trumpeted the news.  The War is Over!  We won!

Winning

By Kim, on July 17th, 2012

Tweet Can you smell it? The tide has changed.  There is salt in the air from Neocon tears. Enbridge is dead in the water.  They have no credibility left.  BP.  Shell.  Exxon Mobile. Corporate crimes are finally in the open in general.  Banks and the financial sector worldwide.  Wars waged worldwide to fund corporate . . . → Read More: Winning

Tanker Safety

By Kim, on January 16th, 2012

Tweet

There is much talk these days about the safety of transporting bitumen via tankers in the Douglas Channel and out into Hecate Straight.  The proponentspimps of the project insist that technology is just wonderful and there will be the utmost care taken to avoid the unthinkable, a catastrophic spill on the pristine North . . . → Read More: Tanker Safety

Huffington Post’s Kathryn Marshall has meltdown on Power & Politics. Goes viral. UPDATED

By Jymn, on January 14th, 2012

Tweet

When I looked yesterday afternoon at the now famous Kathryn Marshall Ethical Oil freakout on youtube, the hits were just 6,000. It’s now well over 26,000 and quickly rising. Word has been blazing around the web, snaking its way into the States where amused commenters are comparing Marshall’s clueless and belligerent approach to that of . . . → Read More: Huffington Post’s Kathryn Marshall has meltdown on Power & Politics.

Christy, what are you thinking? BC Liberals hire Harper aide and Enbridge lobbyist Ken Boessenkool as chief of staff.

By Jymn, on January 13th, 2012

Tweet

If you ever wanted to know which side of the political spectrum the BC ‘Liberals’ fall, it’s pretty obvious by now it’s neither centre nor left. When a supposed centre-left political party hires a lobbyist whose previous tenure involved working as senior policy advisor and strategist to Stephen Harper and lobbying for Enbridge and Suncor, . . . → Read More: Christy, what are you thinking?

Why is Ethical Oil too terrified to confirm if it is funded by Enbridge or not? UPDATED with video.

By Jymn, on January 12th, 2012

Tweet

"Don't ask me hard questions. I'm a student!"

Wow. Just wow. Yesterday, I watched Power & Politics with Huffington Post’s Kathryn Marshall debating the Northern Gateway hearings with a representative from the Sierra Club. What was so amazing is that every time host Evan Solomon correctly asked if Enbridge was funding Ethical Oil, . . . → Read More: Why is Ethical Oil too terrified to confirm if it is funded by Enbridge or not?

Next time some ‘Ethical Oil’ salesperson gives you the ‘foreign influence’ bunk on the pipeline hearings, mention Alison’s post on the subject at Creekside

By Jymn, on January 9th, 2012

Tweet

I watched in mild horror ’Question Period’ yesterday. Horror, not because CTV is too cheap to broadcast the show in HD, but because of the nonsense delivered on behalf of Alberta’s ‘Ethical Oil’ lobby by Huffington Post’s Kathryn Marshall. Her spiel was more about trying to trap Eric Swanson of Dogwood Initiative with circuitous and unrelated arguments rather . . . → Read More: Next time some ‘Ethical Oil’ salesperson gives you the ‘foreign influence’ bunk on the pipeline hearings, mention Alison’s post on the subject at Creekside

Canada’s Energy Future

By Kim, on January 5th, 2012

Tweet      Pressure mounts in the Media, as Canadian Petroleum Producers bombard us with propaganda to forcefeed the Northern Gateway Pipeline and it’s associated Tanker traffic in the most dangerous and pristine water ways in the world.  Across Canada, you are being told by the Press that the majority of British Columbians support a . . . → Read More: Canada’s Energy Future

Welcome to Harperland

By Kim, on December 15th, 2011

Tweet How we embraced hate. I was watching the CBC News this morning, Suhana Meharchand was the host.  Talking about Attawapiskat, she interviewed NDP/MP Charlie Angus.  Hostilely, she asked him, “What would you do if you were Minister?  Throw money at the problem?”  His reply showed unflappable professionalism, indicating that he would first alleviate . . . → Read More: Welcome to Harperland

Tweet *Update from Holly Stick at the bottom of this post. Today in the local corporate fishwrap, appears the local Harper Mouthpiece, Gary Lunn.  He admonishes us to “Let the Professionals Decide on Tanker Routes”.

Decisions on the safety of supertankers transporting oil through B.C.’s northern waterways should be left to professionals instead . . . → Read More: Gary Lunn shills for Big Oil.

Autumn Musings

By Kim, on September 13th, 2010

Tweet Autumn arrived rather suddenly on the wet coast this year.  The jet stream did it’s autumnal thing and turned the taps back on.  We breathe a collective sigh of relief this year, another fire season passed in our forests.  Our rivers will flood with enough water for the salmon to return and we . . . → Read More: Autumn Musings
