Heiltsuk Nation ready for anything. Determined to protect Canada's western coastline.
"We're here to stay. We'll do anything that we need to, to protect our land and sea. And I can say that with the spirit of the nation." - Chief Councillor Marilyn Slett.
"People in this community of 1,500 say they have relied on the surrounding ocean passages since time before memory. Like many places in B.C., the coastal ecosystem provides Bella Bella with food, transportation, and jobs in fishing and tourism -- a way of life residents fear would be wiped out in an instant by a tanker spill." - Kai Nagata, The Tyee.

Scott M Walters YEAH! Screw their pipeline! When I heard about their plan to build a pipeline under Prince George I was like you have to be kidding me??? After everything that has happened so far..really? Gulf of Mexico, Exxon Valdez, tankers sinking and leaking in the ocean. I think our waters have sustained enough damage for right now.

Ken Mackie Thank you to our First Nations citizens for taking a strong stand against Enbridge. One only has to look up Enbridge in Wikipedia - Spills and Violations - to see why this pipeline must not be built. 804 spills since 1999 is enough evidence to demonstrate that this is not the company to build a pipeline through our province.

End the Nightmare - Stephen Harper Must Go Deborah Hersman, the chair of the NTSB, said [Enbridge's] "poor handling of [the] rupture reminds one of Keystone Kops."
She said the defect that led to the rupture of the pipeline was identified in 2005, but nothing was done to address the risk.
