Video: Vancouver Musician Takes on Kinder Morgan Pipeline, Tankers

Share

Check out this new song and music video from Vancouver artist CR Avery, produced by the Sierra Club of BC. According to the organization, which released the video on its youtube page this past weekend, “With riveting spoken word and striking images, CR Avery connects the dots between pipelines, oil tankers and climate change. He is unsparing in speaking truth to power about the companies leading us down the path toward climate catastrophe and the movement building against them.”

The video and song, titled “Thief Behind the Mask”, offer a poetic, uncompromising perspective on Texas-based pipeline giant Kinder Morgan’s plans to turn Vancouver into a major shipping port for the Alberta Tar Sands, among other controversial, interconnected fossil fuel projects. The Sierra Club notes, “These pipelines would drive expansion of the tar sands and spike the impacts of global warming everywhere”
