From the bottom of the article: We stop Enbridge by working together. NDP, Liberal and Green BC MPs are united. In Victoria, opposition MLAs need to encourage an unnatural ally, premier Christy Clark, to maintain a clearer NO. When asked to support First Nations, we have to be prepared to open our wallets and help with what will be staggering legal costs to defend their constitutionally enshrined rights – and our coasts and environment. And we need to re-write this story. The radical element is led by Stephen Harper. The threat of lawlessness is found in his disrespect for the rule of law. The repeal of the environmental assessment law, evisceration of the Fisheries Act, removal of endangered species legislation along any pipeline route, and the removal of 99% of Canada’s rivers, streams and lakes from the Navigable Waters Protection Act were acts of legislative vandalism to clear the way for bitumen pipelines. Those of us who wish to protect our climate, our coast lines, our whales and our salmon and respect First Nations, recognizing that we live on their territories -- we will prevail. Our strength lies in a shared resolve and firm commitment to non-violence, the full exercise of our rights as citizens, and our faith, even in this corporatist state, in democracy. All together now.
