“However, the most immediate and visible impact of this bill will likely emerge in the Great Bear region (Pictured above) of the B.C. coast—one of the rarest, most productive, and most spectacular ecosystems on Earth. The weakened assessment process resulting from Bill C-38 clears the path for the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline, slated to bring hundreds of huge oil tankers each year to this rare, wild space. And it helps silence the voices of Canadians who are concerned about the environmental, economic, and cultural risks associated with this project.”
Oh, did I mention that Bill C-38 was PASSED this week?! (June 19th 2012)

If you’re a Canadian and care about these issues join the WWF’s ‘Canadians for the Great Bear’http://www.wwf.ca/conservation/oceans/greatbearsea/take_action_great_bear_sea/
this makes me feel nauseous. Fuck that I am NOT letting that pipeline be built, and I am NOT alone…
