PowerPlay, The Theft of B C 's Rivers, P2- 2Pts

This documentary by Damien Gillis illustrates how the people of B,C, are being sold out by the provincial government as it gives away control of B.C,'s rivers and streams to private industry. These private companies will use the rivers for "run of the river" hydro electric power generation with the loss to the public of water rights, fish habitat, and recreational opportunities and the accompanying incurrence in the future of greatly increased electrical power costs.

Gee. Is that what the Olympics is really about. It's a great way to thrust B.C.'s economics into a quagmire of corruption of power and privitization.

We are so screwed. I voted,what happened to the rest of you? A third term...seriously?

Can I mirror this video(both parts)?

British Columbians... On Election Day May 12th ... VOTE OUT GORDON CAMPBELL IF YOU WANT OUR WATER AND ELECTRICITY TO STAY PUBLIC.

If you normally vote Green, PLEASE VOTE NDP. DON'T SPLIT THE VOTE. WE HAVE TO GET CAMPBELL OUT to SAVE WHAT IS LEFT OF BC.

It's not just this issue .privatizations in health care, cutbacks to mental health womens' centres, selling of BC Rail, etc. I work as a long term care aide with seniors and have seen privatization lower the quality of care .

That is one of the MANY reasons I will NOT vote for Gordon Campbell, present Premier of BC. I will be voting NDP because they are against privatization. This is sickening and disgusting and Gordon Campbell has been very secretive about this and the sell off of BC Rail and other devious actions on his part. I work in health care, and have seen the deterioration that privatization has brought.

SAVE OUR BC and VOTE NDP !
