Every time I hear talk of a north #pipeline to the BC Coast it gets me so angry, I think about the #wildlife I have photographed on the #westcoast The rest of the country fail to understand the fragile & beautiful coastal environment at risk. They think it's just like the typical pipeline going through a flat field in the prairies & that lack of perspective is what we need to shift. That is also why the #tankerban exists. Once I moved here from SK I immediately understood it. #beautifulNature

It may be, when all the analysis is done, when the economics are weighed against the dangers, coastal Nations, Canadians, will ultimately say 'No. Keep the crude oil away'. But, it is tough to make any informed decision in a sea of misleading soundbites.

On AB-Ottawa MOU: Coastal First Nations previously expressed strong opposition to an oil pipeline to the North Coast.

"Any jobs created aren't worth the environmental risk", citing human error as the cause of disasters like the sinking of the Queen of the North and a U.S. navy vessel that sank nearly 80 years ago...

"the navy vessel has still not been recovered or cleaned up and leaked fuel in 2012." ~ Gitga'at First Nation spokesperson Art Sterritt

"It's more heartbreaking to know that the lands and the waters and the beauty of British Columbia, the coastal regions is being sacrificed for oil and gas, pipelines and LNG development" ~ Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs

BC Sierra Club responds to Alberta-Ottawa MOU negotiated without BC at the table: "This meaningless MOU is a transparent political ploy that holds no water with the people actually impacted by pipelines and oil spills — the First Nations...and the thousands in B.C. who want to protect the North Coast."

Canada and Alberta provide proof we truly deserved the Fossil of the Day award at COP 30.
