At a recent event in Vancouver, the Wilderness Committee’s Joe Foy picked apart the BC Liberal Government’s faulty case for Site C Dam – discussing better alternatives to power our future needs and the enormous cost of a dam whose real purpose is to subsidize shale gas and coal mines. In his inimitable style, Joe makes it clear that the province’s ratepayers and taxpayers are being tricked into paying over $8 Billion for a dam they don’t need – with enormous impacts on the environment, our food security and First Nations’ traditional territory.

We knew Campbell was lying about the purpose of, the site C dam. BC didn’t need it, but, the Alberta dirty tar sands does. Harper and Campbell are pure greed. They have been working for the dirty tar sands for a very long time.
Harper and Campbell have very close ties with China. China bought a large chunk of the dirty tar sands. Harper intends to force the Enbridge pipeline and the dirty Chinese oil tankers, onto BC and the people. You may remember, the CSIS said, some politicians, were a little too cozy with China? Well, guess who? What kinds of fools, will destroy valuable farmland? Harper and Campbell are those same very greedy fools.
The run of the rivers, is causing serious eco damage, and our hydro, is going up 53%. Campbell should be strung up by the heels, for the damaged rivers, and his theft and corrupt sale of the BCR.
Wikileaks has said, the N.A.U. is just around the corner. We own none of our resources. The giant corporations own them all. Harper and Campbell stripped BC of, all of our assets. Harper has given our country away. The N.A.U. was Harper and Campbell’s evil agenda’s all along.

Thank you Joe for making this sadly correct representation of the Site C and what BC Hydro is about.
For those wishing independent evidence of the accuaracy of this representation please Google “Quebec Hydro” and select the electricity rates comparison report. You will read how over the period, starting in 2006 when BC had the lowest electricity rates in the whole of North America,we are now in fouth place and fast slipping from even that postion. This is a clear demonstration of how your government deliberately sabotaged and squandered the most important industrial and quality of life advantage we had in BC.
