Check out this new cartoon from Gerry Hummel. Christy Clark says she isn't taking a position on the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines - but as we revealed this week, this BC Liberal "neutrality" is a myth. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is quite conspicuously throwing everything but the kitchen sink at opponents of the pipeline, causing the mainstream media to begin questioning his tactics.

The latest from our cartoonist Gerry Hummel. With the BC Liberals' popularity in free-fall, according to recent polls that put them trailing the NDP by a widening margin, the party's chances of holding onto power in May 2013 - assuming premier Christy Clark doesn't revert to the idea of an early election - are looking grimmer by the day. Most notably, Clark's famous smile - once seen as the Libs' best chance at a new political lease on life - has lost its lustre, as she now trails Opposition leader Adrian Dix in job approval numbers.

In recent weeks British Columbians and concerned media and citizens around the world have been rocked by the revelation that multiple species of wild Pacific salmon are showing signs of being infected by a European stain of the deadly Infectious Salmon Anemia virus. While Canadian regulators and politicians stall, their American counterparts are calling for emergency testing and swift action to address the potential disaster for wild salmon up and down the West coast.

Check out the latest from our cartoonist and Kitimat resident, Gerry Hummel. The town's council recently hosted a public forum on the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline, which would end its 1,100 km journey from the Alberta Tar Sands at the Port of Kitimat - where supertankers would be loaded with bitumen, en route to Asia and the United States. The elusive Enbridge VP for the project, John Carruthers, was there representing the company - which heard not one iota of positive feedback from the community all evening.

In the wake of the panel report on BC Hydro and the media firestorm over costly private power projects we plainly don't need, our cartoonist Gerry Hummel gives us his take on the robbery of taxpayers and ratepayers this program represents.

The latest cartoon from Gerry Hummel - referencing the Joint Review Panel for the hugely controversial proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline to Kitimat. Rules defining public participation were recently announced by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and National Energy Board. Despite assurances of multiple avenues for public comment, many First Nations, citizens and conservation groups from the region are expressing their doubts - remaining in steadfast opposition to the project.

Check out the latest from our cartoonist Gerry Hummel. Hydraulic Fracturing, or "fracking" - a relatively new method for extracting natural gas - involves shooting a mixture of highly pressurized water, sand, and unknown chemicals deep underground in order to crack open shale formations to release gas.

Taseko mines told the Federal Panel Review and public last year that it would need to drain Fish Lake, in the Chilcotin region southwest of Williams Lake, and turn it into a rock impoundment yard in order for their proposed Prosperity Mine to be economically viable. Now, after that proposal was rejected by the federal Ministry of Environment, the company is changing its tune in a bid to resurrect the mine.

Rafe Mair has been giving his local MP, Federal Tory John Weston, a hard time of late for his praise of Plutonic Power/General Electric's private power projects. The West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky representative allegedly referred to these "run of river" projects as having a relatively small ecological footprint. If it weren't such a serious matter, this assertion would be downright comical.

We are pleased to present this new Common Sense Canadian cartoon by Gerry Hummel.

BC Liberal leadership frontrunner Christy Clark - whose potential ties to the Basi-Virk/BC Rail case have been brought to light in recent memos exposed by blogger Alex G. Tsakumis - insists the public is no longer interested in Railgate. But can her bid survive the growing calls for a Public Inquiry into the scandal?
