I received an email from YouTube this morning letting me know that a group called NoTankers had found my oil spill video and was inviting me to join them in protesting the reintroduction of oil tanker traffic in ecologically sensitive north coast areas. Recent breaches of the moratorium, in place since 1972, have gone uncontested, and at least six more projects requiring tanker traffic are in the works.
The group is circulating a petition that will go to Canada’s Federal Government urging a strengthening of the moratorium.

Please click here and take two minutes to sign their petition.

Thanks.

I signed, Diane! Spent many years protesting the incursion of LNG plants into Howe Sound. So far we have kept them out — but for how long?

Thanks Karen! I’m with you — it astounds me that with the level of awareness I’d assumed we’d reached this year (with the help of Al Gore et al) this kind of thing can even still be an option. I guess we keep spreading the word, and, if necessary, get back on the protest line.
