A Call for a Moratorium on Deep Water Drilling in the Gulf of St. Lawrence

This video shows the natural environment of Îles de la Madeleine which is at risk with the proposed Old Harry deep water drilling project.

Corridor Resources Inc has begun the initial process to create a deep water drilling project even though the 2010 BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico was uncontrollable.

The 2010 disaster in the Gulf of Mexico shows that the safety of deep water drilling is not controlable and can take long periods of time to stop a major leak in the well even if there is a proposed plan for a relief well.

The tourism and fishing industries in five provinces are at risk for a small amount of job creation on one project when a moratorium on drilling is needed after the lessons which should have been learnt in the 2010 BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Thank you for the comments of support, I really am only wanting to help protect the amazing fact that these Islands are so similar to us here on PEI. I looking forward get to knowing and visiting more the Îles de la Madeleine when doing more work there in the future.

Good video, Adam! I've never been to the Madeleines, but I lived for 10 years near the sea in

Newfoundland, and it would be criminal to have a big oil spill anywhere on the East coast of Canada. I was a freelance videographer with NTV while I was on the Rock, and did 2 items about offshore oil hazards, featuring Prof. Bill Montevecchi of MUN, expert on seabirds. Check out "Gannets migrating into danger?" and "Offshore oil pollution meeting", both posted on my channel. God bless ya!
