Watch this informative new PSA by Nanaimo filmmaker Paul Manly on the proposal to bring hundreds of oil supertankers a year to BC's south coast. The tanker traffic would come from Kinder-Morgan's proposed upgrade to its Trans-Mountain pipeline - which ends at Burnaby's Westport Terminal - from 300,000 to 700,000 barrels a day of Alberta Tar Sands crude. The 2 min video illustrates the navigational hazards these massive vessels would face on their way through Vancouver via Burrard Inlet, and out to sea through the Gulf Islands and Strait of Juan de Fuca - en route to California and Asia.

    I had totally no idea how tough it could be to apply to college. My matured brother went through these years a bit previous, however I figured it wouldn't be that difficult for me. False! The custom research papers were obviously the hardest fragment of the work, and I didn't have any markhow to create them. Then my brother give a tip for me paper services. Custom essaysorganization gave me all of my essays demands guide me how to reuse them in innovational ways, and helped organize me from start to closing. I would at rest be staring at a whitescreen if it weren't for this house.

    I received 1 st loans when I was 25 and this aided my business very much. However, I require the collateral loan once again.

    There are deformed fish, found in Lake Athabasca. They have now found oil in the mighty Athabasca River. Another flock of ducks landed in the filthy sludge. This is all because of the dirty Alberta tar sands. So, the Athabasca watershed, is contaminated. Enbridge pipelines, have had numerous pipe bursts. The F.N. People are in another battle with Campbell. They don't want the pipeline across their lands, rivers and streams. They don't want, China's dirty tankers, on their pristine coast. Well, neither do we. Nor, do we want off shore gas and oil wells drilled. There was a 6.6 earthquake in the Queen Charlotte's, and the idiots, want to drill oil wells????? I read where, the mine that wants to dump toxic mine waste, into Fish Lake, can be reapplied for. The problem is, we BC people, have to deal with the lunatic Campbell. He uses dirty tactics, and does everything he can, behind the peoples backs. Or, he just gives us the finger, and does it anyway. Campbell has destroyed BC financially, by his corruption and theft of our assets and natural resources. He is frantic to hide, how much debt we are actually in. We really have to watch our backs.

    Excellent piece of work Paul. Lets get this out on networks far and wide. There is a website run by Keith Martin and the International Conservation Caucus that I think you should submit this to.
