A bit weepy but it makes the point. This won't become a reality without a lot of decent, law-abiding citizens being slammed up inside Harper's new jails. My sense is that there'll be a first wave of protests, arrests, imprisonments that will trigger steadily larger successive waves.
I came very, very close to dying in a fierce, sudden storm on the Hecate Strait and I know it's no place for any supertanker. Waves there have been measured at 30 metres, 100 feet. Those are tanker killers.
And Enbridge/Harper won't be able to confuse the public forever into believing that dilbit is remotely like conventional crude oil. It doesn't float to be dispersed by wave action. It gels and sinks to the bottom which, in that area, is many hundreds of feet down.
The chemicals they put in the dirty oil to make it flow freely, are absolutely lethal. Enbridge, has no ethics, nor morals, what-so-ever. They even have the gall, to leave the filthy crud, to contaminate for miles around.
There were just three freighters, caught in one of the bad storm off the BC coast. The storm tore their cargo off the ships into the sea. The three freighters, came limping back to BC harbors.
It is impossible for BC citizens who live with the sea to imagine how asinine it is, to send these massive tankers into Kitimat Port.
Port Kitimat is a northern BC port. Every other day we hear of, storms with hurricane wind force, on that coast. There are waves up to l00 feet. The channel narrow, the tankers massive, which have to make hairpin turns. There is not an iota of a doubt...There will be a tanker spill.
It is asinine to string a pipeline through BC. There are avalanches, earthquakes, mudslides, rock slides and swift running flooded rivers that carry away houses and highways. How in the hell do they get through 15 feet of snow, to fix the pipe burst? Who knows how many days it will take, to even find the burst, in BC's vast wilderness?
There are over 80% of BC citizens, who are supporting the F.N. to save their food sources, from Harper, Enbridge, and Alberta's greed. Harper and Gordon Campbell, purposely dismantled BC, before Campbell got the boot.
All we have left is, our marine life, our woodland big game, and the beautiful sea and province. All BC's assets and resources, have been thieved from the BC people and our province. No way, will we will permit that filthy crud into our beautiful province.
I agree with Anon re the risks of running tankers through these waters. Transport Canada has given it the nod but these days the public service has been transformed into a political agency of the PMO. I'd love to know what pressure was brought to bear on TranCan.
