This plan includes hundreds of supertankers navigating through the inside passage along the central coast of British Columbia, loaded with millions of barrels of Alberta Tarsands Bitumen for export to China.

This is one of the most pressing environmental issue of our time. These coastal waters are intense, the shorelines extremely rugged, and the environment extremely diverse. Before deciding its future

Walking Turcot Yards: Don’t Fence Me In

By neath, on February 19, 2013, at 9:58 pm

Been thinking about the people in Fort Chipewan today, and everyone who lives in Northern Alberta near the Tar Sands. Stumbled on this song and thought it seemed like a pretty good way of positively saying no to all the powers that are destroying everything in the name of greed. It sounds good now matter how it’s done. And there is a version for almost everyone here.

Politics and its Discontents: The World We Are Willfully Destroying

By Lorne, on April 5, 2012, at 5:13 pm

Last year, I wrote a post on the power of the documentary. In it, I discussed how a good nature documentary can very powerfully help us to see both the wonders of the world and how we are destroying that world.
