Tracking Enbridge PR Machinations
by Ingmar Lee
Hi All; currently, Enbridge PR machinations are grinding through the gears all across their proposed 1100 km pipeline route from the Tar Sands to Kitimat. Here on Denny Island, the Chamber of Commerce has invited Enbridge to participate in a community discussion re. the massive super tanker traffic-jam which is intended to pass through BC Central Coast waters.
We called Enbridge and invited them to send a rep out here to discuss their project, but they refused. Apparently, Enbridge is only willing to appear at staged community meetings in which they control the agenda.
As a director of the Denny Island Chamber, I have put forward a motion which states: "The Denny Island Chamber of Commerce vehemently condemns the proposed Enbridge Gateway pipeline project and associated tanker traffic through the BC Pacific Coast, and further condemns any offshore oil and gas development on the BC Coast." The issue will be discussed and voted on at a community meeting on March 21st next week.
