Pamela Anderson Says “No Tanks” to South Coast Oil Spill

Watch this new 1 min PSA by Nanaimo filmmaker Paul Manly, starring Pamela Anderson, speaking out to protect the  beaches of her youth from a plan to bring hundreds of oil supertankers a year to the South Coast of BC. The Canadian film and television star, famous for her role on California beaches, grew up on Vancouver Island and says she was horrified to learn of Kinder-Morgan’s proposal to expand its Trans-Mountain pipeline – from the Alberta Tar Sands to Burnaby’s Westport Terminal. The expansion, from 300,000 barrels a day to 700,000, would put the South Coast in grave jeopardy from an oil spill as increasing numbers of tankers navigate the perilous waters of Burrard Inlet and the Strait of Juan de Fuca en route to Asia and the United States.
