Enbridge's plans for a pipeline & tankers through BC's magnificent coast
The north and central coast of British Columbia is one of last great wilderness areas that still support a vibrant & productive ecosystem. Home to thousands of runs of 5 species of salmon, as well as steelhead, grizzlies, wolves, orca, rare white bears, dolphins, porpoises and hundreds of other species, the coast is a natural spring of wealth & wonder. The plan to build the Enbridge pipeline and ensuing tankers threatens all of this- the coastal ecosystem, the coastal economies and a massive food source.
Besides the incredible array of species that lives here, the coast supports many economies through commercial activities such as commercial fishing, sport fishing, & tourism, as well as providing a massive natural food source that feeds thousands of people - serving up salmon, crab, halibut, clams, cockles, Oolichan, herring, sea cucumbers, urchins, rockfish, lingcod, geoduck, seaweed, and on and on...
The BC coast is a natural resource that just keeps giving its massively generous, life-supporting gifts, on one condition only- that we don't destroy it.
Now plans are underway that will likely result in just this.
Risking it All Oil on our Coast is a short film that outlines the plans for the pipeline and tanker route and what it means for our beautiful coast. Produced h in association with Hartley Bay & Gitga'at Nation, Oil on our Coast is meant to inspire, empower and help fuel the battle to save what sustains us.

  • HOW MUCH FOR A POLAR BEAR STEAK?

  • Great Video! Very informative! I'm surprised at how many people still do not know about this potential for the greatest catastrophe our human seeding has ever seen both environmentally and energetically. Please share the information and let's all find and start using new renewable energy tools and sources! :)

  • all oil companies across the globe are runned mafia style... they are all criminals & always think they are above the laws which i think they are. 100mil just for the project campaign? they are the law. only god can do justice against them. but we can all try & pass this around.. all i can say is they all sucks starting from harper

  • FUCK THAT FUCK HARPER

  • GTFO Canada fucking oil companys FUCK YOU

  • Great work and very informative. Nice to get the perspective of local communities rather than just the industry PR machine. The last poster clearly does no know much about this issue, since the video it quite factual.

  • Once again half facts are distributed as truth. I am actually against this project, but I am more against this bullshit that they are peddling in this video. Learn your facts. You will still be against this project, but you shouldn't buy into this bullshit either. Once we all stop lying to each other, maybe we will be able to actually do something about this.

  • Another disaster in the making if this scheme is allowed to go ahead. Surely the government can see that. But then again, money talks - and people and the environment so often come second, while the corporations continue to make millions. This needs to be sent far and wide, to alert more people to take action before it's too late.

  • Everyone PLEASE VOTE IN CANADA ON MAY2...if HARPER GETS a majority the tankers are coming to the coast!
