Elizabeth May explains why there is an Oil Tanker Moratorium Act in Canada, particularly for British Columbia's north coast.
She's the MP of Saanich-Gulf Islands, B.C. and leader of the Green Party of Canada.
"In case you've never heard of it, the inner waters between Haida Gwaii and the West Coast of Canada is the Hecate Strait...
"It's the most dangerous body of water on the Canadian coastline, according to the 🇨🇦 Government of Canada. It's the 4th most dangerous body of water on earth.
"It has 🌊 tides and currents that are 10 to 30 metres. They sometimes go down so low that they expose the ocean floor. That's why there's been a tanker moratorium on our north coast -- since 1972.
"You can't wish away the science. And you can't pretend an oil tanker isn't going to "break apart" and contaminate the Coast...
The Haida Gwaii (people) and British Columbians will never stand for it."
