No Northern Gateway Petitions - Save BCs Coast

2012-02-12T14:40:00.000-08:00

560 jobs for the Northern Gateway Pipeline is NOT worth the dire risks to health, economy and land. Independent opinion polls show 78 and 80% of Canadians oppose the Northern Gateway Pipeline and the 200+ supertankers that there is moratorium on. Industry funded opinion polls released were found to be untrue. Enbridge has had 800+ oil spills based on their own records. 180 First Nations tribes who would be most affected stand united against these bullies. Yet Harper labels those opposed as foreign funded radical environmentalists. $Billions in existing industries are threatened. Of 4000+ speakers scheduled at the hearings, 12 are foreign funded, all 12 are big oil backers. Yet the bullying continues. Now our Canadian, uh, Harper government wants to sanction First Nations for opposing the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeliine. Alberta commonly sells Waivers of Law to Corps (4000+ to date) Amnesty is attempting to help the poisoned and dying communities subject to these practices. Moratoriums keeping oil tankers out of BC waters has mysteriously gone missing. Endangered Orca has legal protection again this week. Enbridge and Canada's "Harper government" go to China to sell a pipe dream in exchange paying $1000+ a day for rented panda's. By all accounts, what our gov. is subjecting us to is illegal. If this "deal" ever comes to be, we will know for certain that Canada is no longer a democracy.

Northern Gateway Pipeline Hearings Schedule

Enbridge TransCanada Northern Gateway Tarsands Pipeline Public Hearings Schedule Start Jan. 10th 2012 Watch the Hearings online. Public hearings on the Northern Gateway pipeline started today in BC . Livestream available 9am to 4 pm: http://gatewaypanel.review-examen.gc.ca/clf-nsi/prtcptngprcss/hrng-eng.html
With many restriction about how and what they can speak about, 4300 groups are scheduled to speak at Northern Gateway Hearings over the next year.

Hundreds of residence packed the hall on the first day of the Northern Gateway pipeline hearings today. I listened to the livestream. First Nations Chiefs spoke of thier tradition ways of life and the values the hold dear being in the line of fire. "The Haisla are facing a double-barrelled shotgun by the bringing of that oil by pipeline and shipping it by sea," Hereditary Chief Ken Hall Source
Haisla Nation Chief Ellis Ross spoke of industry repeatedly making promises to his people, lying, stealing, and destroying their way of life, then moving on as a pattern of business. He sited past experience with environmental damages that were painfully inadequate in their ability to clean contaminated creeks while working with DFO. The shoreline has only just begun to recover from past industries. He voiced his concerns that this process is just another 'process'. He made clear that his communities are concerned for their health, future and lands and their way of life regardless of the money involved. He sited 50-100 jobs is not worth destroying their territory. It is early in these hearings, but I too sense this process is contrived lip-service with a stacked deck.

Very few townsin BC have hearings scheduled, and mostly in industry owned towns.
In the past, industry has been known to flood these hearings with employees to undermine real people's concerns. The existing schedule does not take into account the massive wild salmon industry or tourist industries most at risk, nor the concerns for hundreds of oil tankers plying the BC coast. No hearings at all are planned for BC's largest communities. This is all our concerns.

"200 tankers a year would cross the shallow and stormy waters of Hecate Sound, duck behind Banks Island, follow the narrow Principe Channel for 120 km, turn east through Otter Channel, cross the track of many Alaska cruise ships at the south end of Granville Channel, and ascend Douglas Channel, another narrow fiord, a further 100 km to Kitimat. Altogether, this is about 300 km of tricky navigation in waters distinguished by fog, storms, and quite amazing tidal currents. Whole volumes have been written about shipwrecks on the B.C. coast, end even with today’s modern navigation systems, ships run aground and sink."

The billions of "possible" income is a mute point, as it could destroy existing industries of equal or greater value in a heartbeat. Whale watching and the wild salmon industry alone are each billion dollar industries. It's not "if" there is spill but "when".
"Using data from Enbridge's own reports, the Polaris Institute calculated that 804 spills occurred on Enbridge pipelines." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enbridge

Elizabeth May has an informed and articulate response to the ridiculous rantings of Joe Oliver as he calls the opposition to the Northern Gateway project radical foreign environmentalist. Source

Funny, if you take out the word "environmentalist" , change the word "stop" to "force", he would be telling the whole truth to what our government is doing to Canadians. Maybe that's why the spin works. Harper says environmentalists "backed by foreign money" Link
Apon futher investigation, we find of the 4000+ speakers scheduled for the Northern Gateway Hearings, 12 are "forgeign funded radicals". All 12 are big oil backers.

As Kitimat's shores finally begin to claws back from the damage done by the last industry to come and go. First Nations have expressed the 50 jobs are not worth the risk. All but a few of the 100 Nations impacted say they will not be bribed.

Are we at the precipice of change perhaps the end of this dinosaur economy? Other countries have proven clean energy, clean food and peace are good for economies. Innovation, equality, real food and sustainable energy can provide for the world today. The www has educated everyone to what a few special interests do to our planet and all it's inhabitants. From energy monopolies and media control, to silencing natural cures and sustainable practices for profit, even with our RCMP and MPs now gagged by our gov. Source, still we educate and empower ourselves with compassion for each other. Because we care for each other and our futures, this will be a peaceful revolution (evolution). This will end tyranny everywhere. In Canada, over $100 billion has been allotted for military and billions for privately run jails. The behavior of our public servants is a reflection of barbaric values of a ruling class that we can no longer with clean conscience perpetuate. We can do better. We are doing better. ♥

This smear campaign comes from the top down, and is a tactic to move the focus to industry propaganda rather than the real issues. How much is this costing us? The article on CBC's website netted 1000 responses within the first hour of posting the Joe Oliver article, almost 4000 in the first day, mostly by Canadians opposed to this atrocity.

"The First Nations of Northern BC including the Haisla have been fighting to protect this coast for decades. This proposed project is just one of many we will have ended up stopping. The insinuation that northern communities, and especially First Nations, can be bought by U.S. interests is paternalistic and insulting; if not some new iteration of hypocrisy that can only be characterized as soft core racism."

Now the Prime-minister of Canada calls anyone opposed to his dirty dream an "Enemy of Canada"? Now Harper is trying to meddle in the finances of independent environmental groups that oppose the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline by attempting to cut their funding. Source

Massive smear campaigns are now underway by "Ethical Oil". The same industry funded group that cooked the books and sold the US a State report full of unsubstantiated job numbers, bias environmental reports and created massive conflict of interest issues regarding State owned shares in the oily business of the tarsands in the Keystone XL proposal. Canada is currently throwing unprecedented efforts to thwart US initiatives and opposition to these pipelines.

The pipeline would cross over 1000 streams and rivers traverse in the most inaccessible treacherous mountainous temperate rain forests in the world. The Great Bear Rainforest would be at risk.

Sounds good on paper BUT: Thinking about a job in Canada's oil industry, heard you can make lots of money? "If you make $70 000 a year in the Tarsands, you need assistance with housing" The average 1 bedroom apartment is $1600 month, average mobile trailer is $300 000 in Fort Mcmurry. 6 doctors for population of approx 100,000. "Syncrude snow" in winter. Contaminated Athabaska river. Arsenic in the wildlife. 5 First Nations communities lands are being eaten up. 4000 chemicals dumped into the Athabaska everyday, as rare cancers rates skyrocketing. The air isn't monitored. 3 barrels of water turned to toxic waste for 1 barrel of bitumen. 4000 lbs of forest floor is moved for 1 barrel of oil.

At this rate there will be plenty of McJob opportunities available in Canada. And when 8$ an hour is not longer the "global industry standard" our jobs will be quickly outsourced as we are currently seeing in the US.

The same company that manufactures the tarsands equipment and gets millions in subsidies is destroying the working class.

Stop the Crime Bill Petition Sign Online
http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_harpers_cruel_crime_bill/

Harper pushed his crime bill through today.
The House JUST PASSED Bill C10 TODAY (barely)!
Now it goes to Senate for approval.
Senate has a record of only refusing environmental or human rights bills. They influence something like 2% of proposed bills. We can't depend on them to do the right thing. We must insist that our public servants do what is best for the citizens of Canada and not some private prison developer. As a private corporation, crime does pay if the collateral damage is "just" the Canadian constitution.
Please sign the petition above to add your voice to the hundreds of thousands to stop Harper's cruel crime bill.

During a time in Canada when the crime rates are the LOWEST since 1970 Harper cuts social and public serves while investing taxpayers money in more in jails. $20 000 000 000 of taxpayers money just to build the jails Canada currently does not need... privatized prisons... harsher youth sentencing... cuts to public services... sounds like more private returns with the ultimate public liability... sound lucrative for someone who has no soul. What other reason could there be for these diabolical actions?

Texas tried it... cost billions... crime grew... switched to reform and treatment... saved billions. Texas gov. wrote Harper to tell him the error of this bill as did many of our public servants here in Canada
I'm starting to wonder if our "leader's" head is right.

The Harper Government Want to Spy on Canadians without Warrant

Keystone XL pipeline delayed due to environmental concerns, conflict of interest andcorruption allegations. Members of the senate are also under review regarding possible conflict of interest and false reports. Hundreds of thousands signed petitions, 13 000 people rallied at the White House to stop the Keystone XL pipeline and against this poster-child of corruption bringing to light the underhanded dealing of big corporations and our governments shill-like behavior regarding our futures.

Corporate Tyranny in our Food
Do we want big corporations like Monsanto ruling our food and land? Monsanto already hold a key FDA position in the US. Hundreds of thousands of deaths in India have been attributed to Monsanto. Mutated crops are being found in countries who have rejected the sterile genetically modified round up ready patented crops of Monsanto. The tyranny of corporatism does not end at our oil industry in Canada. Currently Canadian farmers are fighting to stop Harper from destroying their Wheat Board: http://stopthesteamroller.ca/

Democracy and Freedom of Speech are no longer Canadian Standards
"President of the Canadian Wheat Board stated that a dual marketing system would be "as wrong as it is un-Canadian" and could harm the ability of Western Canadian farmers "to deliver the world-class grain for which we are known." That same month, the Board was faced with a “gag order” from the federal government, which was later found to be unconstitutional by the federal court." Source.

They did it in the US and India and will do it here. Entire countries are standing up against this abomination, but our "leader" is corporate shill as they have proven time and time again.

Why Occupy 1500 Cities Occupy for Real Democracy, Equality, Justice, Peace.

2011-10-23T16:20:00.000-07:00

1700 cities worldwide are Occupying. All our political "leaders" make promisesnever kept, always at the detriment to the people they serve. The problem goes beyond the parties and politicians, it's the system that is protested. All our politicians are in the pocket of a few elitewho own, lobby, litigate, bully and bribe their way into everyelement of our lives. Even single cell organisms unite and fight for survival when their species is threatened.

From what banks have done to the people of theUS, to Monsanto's global destruction, to the big oil companies with private profits and publicliability. 20 years of litigation was the answer to First Nationsdieing downstream from the tar-sands. Average earner salary hasdropped while the 1% has made 300% profits in the last 10 years. Ourpublic servants serve these Corps. with bias data, subsidies, lobbyists, litigation and biasmedia. It's profit for very few, to the huge detriment of everyaspects of all our lives. After 9 "secret meetings",presently our Harper Gov. wants to sell our water, education,health, food, public services, energy,etc... with "CETA" trade deal. Ourcurrent monetary systems are broken with virtual bank money beingpaid back with real money and real interest by real people.

Over 1700cities worldwide are currently in "Occupation" to bring to lightthese issues and demand better of the "system" and"leaders".
From what I gather. ;^)

Monsanto GMO lab rats saw intestinalbleeding, reproductive and behavioral disorders within 10 days ofeating this patented "Foods". GM "foods" studies with rats caused major compromises to the digestive tract including tumors and bleeding (instantly corrected once GM food was removed) Reproductive function of rats was mutated within 10 days. In hamsters, by the 3rd generation, all offspring were sterile when fed Monsanto GM foods. Most people don't know what they are eating in North America were the GM foods are not labelled. The UK must label the GM foods. Making it a consumer choice should be mandatory.

This is a dictator no?In a press release last spring, Harper said"Circumstances Dictate" that the online spying elements beremoved from the proposed crime bill. The "circumstance" was a 70 000 signature petition: But yet the Canada still needs to defend it's freedoms. http://stopspying.ca/

G20 Sponsored by Corporations and Banks

Our public representatives need to do their job. Globally, the corporate shill of government we all have needs a reality check. When pharmaceutical company's profits legally silence the cure for cancer, and the private gains of a few oil tycoons or Monsanto shareholders trumps human life (including Canada) our government's agenda no longer represents the people. When our MP can no longer speak without first being approved by Harper in parliament, this is no longer a democracy. This is a tyranical dictatorship.

More conflict of interests for the Keystone XL?

More Tarsands (Oil Sands) Corruption? Conflict of Interest? or just low morals? "Although the group's executive director has claimed that the website is "100 percent independent of government and industry," the Ethical Oil Institute shares the exact mailing address of a prominent tar sands law firm, McLennan Ross LLP. Tom Ross of McLennan Ross and Levant make up the entirety of the Ethical Oil Institute board of directors." - Mother Gregory Jones

Occupy Vancouver - Global Revolution - Occupy Wall Street

2011-10-16T12:05:00.000-07:00

Occupy Vancouver Canada
♥ We Just got back from the Occupy Vancouver Global Revolution rally and march. It was amazing. 4000 voices, so many souls standing up for democracy and to make the world a better place. Joining 2200 cities worldwide in a collective outcry for change was really profound. ♥

Enjoy the video I compiled to commemorate the mass awakening of the world.Most didn't even know of these atrocities our governments subjects us to. To no fault of their own, citizens have been mislead to support these horrors. Consumers now cannot ignore the part they play for the 1%. People can no longer feed the status-quo and fain ignorance. Bringing to light issues that compromise everyone, in a way I've never seen before in my lifetime was a profound experience.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTu5HCkh8Qo

A simple message

Get corporations out of our governments. Represent the people, not self interest not the elite.
The corruption of the 1% is compromising our health, our land, our water, our freedoms, and our future. What was hidden is now clear.

From Keystone to Monsanto, the government's practice of endorsing these atrocities can no longer be hidden. The message has rung out loud and clear worldwide. When people respond with their pocketbooks, this will be the change. Knowledge is power. We are the change.

The World vs. Wall Street Petition
Avaaz petition has hit 800 000 signatures and counting. Knowledge is power. We stand with you in this struggle for real democracy. Together we can end the capture and corruption of our governments by corporate and wealthy elites, and hold our politicians accountable to serve the public interest. We are united - the time for change has come! http://www.avaaz.org/en/the_world_vs_wall_st

Keystone Pipeline Report Bias Enbridge Spill Cover Up

2011-10-11T17:03:00.000-07:00

State Department Lies about Keystone XL pipeline, calling Environmental Review impartial within the first minute of the public hearings:
http://www.c-span.org/Events/State-Department-Hears-From-Public-on-Canada-US-Oil-Pipeline/10737424635/

Serious Conflict of Interest regarding Environmental Reviews pertaining to the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. "At TransCanada’s recommendation, the department hired Cardno Entrix, an environmental contractor based in Houston, even though it had previously worked on projects with TransCanada and describes the pipeline company as a “major client” in its marketing materials."

With grossly inflated unsubstantiated job numbers, environmental assessments done by paid advisers.
See more: http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/678247
In a letter to Mr. Obama, leaders of 17 green groups said State officials had shown “pro-industry bias” throughout the department’s review of TransCanada’s application.

Washington - New documents reveal the US State Department was “doing favors” for TransCanada during a government review of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline and sheds light on a White House bias in favor of the pipeline.

Enbridge Covers Up Oil Spill with Grass Taken in Marshall, Michigan, one year after the July 2010 spill into the Kalamazoo River watershed. Enbridge covers 800 000 gallons of spilled oil from a pipeline burst with sand and mesh grass and says it cleaned up. Talk about sweeping it under the rug. When this man cuts the mesh covering the oil, he sinks to his waist in oil.

4000 lbs (2 tonnes) of our beautiful Boreal Forest bed must be destroyed for one $60 barrel of oil. Even without expansion, the tarsands are currently the size of England. Please help!?

In March, the Pew Environmental Group released a report stating mining, oil and gas operations in the boreal are having a huge impact on the region’s freshwater supply. The report states 40 percent of boreal habitat being displaced (740,000 acres) for tar sands strip mining are wetlands.

Tar Sands Oil Extraction - The Dirty Truth - Video

Executive Officer of Suncore appointed Minister of Development in Alberta and Suncore is still paying her salary?!! Pollution investigations are killed at the political level. "if a tree falls in the forest". Spills kept secret for months!? The industry has it's own laws and policing?

Please contact your local representatives and tell them you appose the Keystone XL and TransCanada pipelines. Each and every one of us are responsible for our future.

Canada tries to hide Alberta tar sands carbon emissions

The Keystone XL pipeline will enrich the oil giants while Americans pay for it with our environment, our climate and even our lives. As we move toward a clean energy future, there is no room for the most destructive oil on the planet. I urge you to prevent this disaster-in-the-making by rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline.

The proposed Keystone XL pipeline would carry dirty tar sands oil from Canada’s Boreal forest to refineries in Texas, driving more destruction of songbird habitat, fueling global warming, and threatening drinking water for millions of Americans. The U.S. State Department is rushing towards approval of this fiasco, which is designed to enrich the oil giants. Please send a message telling Secretary Clinton to reject this disaster in the making.

First Nations Hit Back Against Harper; Say Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Will Be Stopped in Its Tracks

Keystone and Plains All America Spills "The importance of these actions has been heightened by more oil spills in Canada, this time an Enbridge leak on its Norman Wells line in the Northwest Territories. The latest leak follows several other recent incidents that have hobbled pipelines in Canada, including the recently discovered 4.5 million litre crude oil spill near Little Buffalo in Alberta – the largest spill in Alberta in 35 years."

With oil spills continuing — the latest coming only a week ago, when 28,000 barrels spilled from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline near the Lubicon First Nations village of Little Buffalo in Alberta — B.C. aboriginals’ fears of oil contamination of water, wildlife and way of life, is hardly unfounded. - financialpostbusiness

"the company claims that Keystone I was built with “state of the art” design features and was predicted to spill no more than once every seven years. We’re now at twelve leaks in less than a year of operation. Most troubling of all is that fact that after all of these warnings, State Department is still fast tracking the environmental review of Keystone XL".

2011-06-10T17:26:00.000-07:00

Canadian Government Censors Youtube
and again: House of Commons Censors Youtube Video
and again: Government Censors Protesters Freedom of Speach

So you want to share information about an ILLEGAL TAX in Canada? Prepare to be gagged. Our government is now monitoring our chats with a new initiative to "correct misinformation on political views". See Video

Has our country under the reign of the "Harper Government" (Petition) officially turned Canada into a police state? New thousand dollar "Protest Fees" for protest of any kind or be subject to arrests for "illegal protest" are now in place. The illegal incarceration and attacks on over a thousand civilians justified by a 'secret law' passed to allow for spontaneous (and what seemed beautifully choreographed) Marshal Law is now allowed to take place unchallenged. Are our human rights in Canada being taken away?
In lights of these events, I thought Canada may be heading toward a Police State.

Now with the outright censoring of YouTube when the "Harper Government" finds some truth posted that might bring to light and compromise their illegal behavior. See Article
Google posts the requests by Governements for removal of content as part of their freedom of information policy (see google statistics on government removing content)

After a quick search, I see public outcry forced the scrapping of Bill C10 that would have given the "Harper Government" free reign over all film and video. But the web is since free reign? This stranglehold on our free speech resembles that of a tyrant's dictatorship. If our civil liberties are allowed to be trampled on in such blatant disregard and we continue to endorse this tyrant, further oppression will surely follow. My Metis blood is boiling, and I don't anger easily.

Wildlife Mural - Salmon Conservation Port Coquitlam

2010-08-16T11:49:00.000-07:00

The 4th and final "Winter Wall" has begun at the Hyde Creek Education Center & Hatchery. Seen here is the 3rd Mural. "Spring" depicting the indigenous plants, animals, fish, birds and bugs of BC's west coast salmon bearing creeks of Port Coquitlam. The 'Spring Wall' showcases coyote, bobcats, beaver,a variety of species of local birds, fish, bugs, flowering spring trees and plants.

The Hatchery uses the murals as educational tools for children's field trips, groups, tours and new volunteers.

I have posted the link below to schedule a tour with one of this societies dedicated volunteers to see the paintings and learn about salmon conservation in British Columbia.

The 2010 Olympics in Vancouver have come and gone to our fair city!

2010-03-01T14:11:00.000-08:00

What a week! Our humble city has hosted one of the best Olympics in the history of Canada! Never have I seen such support and pride for our country!

The night after the Olympic's opening ceremonies in Vancouver, took the dog for a run, and to my surprise, I could see the cauldron from theseawall!

Gold for Canada! The olympic rings changed to gold each night we won a gold medal! Well worth the bike ride at 11:30 pm to catch the gold!

The eve of the final night, we ventured down the street to visit the Olympic flame that graced our Vancouver waterfront. After our epic Olympic hockey game win for the gold medal, the Vancouver crowds poured into the streets to share in the celebration!

The crush of celebrators was an amazing, never seen before support of our atheletes and our country! Canada knows how to celebrate!

New York: Sightseeing on foot
Things to see in New York walking:
I walked 20 km in 11 hrs with a 1/2 break to go up to the top of the Empire State building, 2 coffee breaks, a lunch break and a bit of shopping along the way. Advice: Wear good shoes. Souvenirs are cheaper near 34th and Park Ave than near the Met and Zoo. I started at the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 8:30 am, watched the animated bronze clock chime at 9 am at Central Park Zoo. Walking and shopping along 5th Ave., reached the Empire Landmark at noon, ($20) spent a 1/2 hr at the top. Shopping along the way, past Ground Zero and through World Trade Center to Battery Park. People were friendly and helpful. Walked along the shore with the Statue of Liberty in the distance for about 1/2 hr to Pier A at 3:30 pm, I headed back up to the famous bull statue, late lunch just past the bull statue 9 (6$). Walked to 14th, 4:30pm loosing light, took a cab to 42nd and 3rd (7$), saw Grand Central Station, walked to Times square, spent about 1/2 hr there, and walked back to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by 7:30pm. Whew! What a day! I highly recommend it!

Portraits, portraits, puppy portraits : } )

Well, it's gearing up to be another busy year. Painted Portraits were most popular over the holidays. Chase is one of the latest pet portraits from photos. This is a watercolour / gouache dog painting from a photo on 11 x 14 watercolour paper.
Kind regards,
Kim Hunter

I'm finishing up another really neat project. An "English hunting scene, with a dog portrait, pointing the opposite way, holding a frisbee". It's been tough, and fun because it had to come from my head. I will post more photos on my Landscape Paintings page once it's complete.
Kind regards,
