The New British Columbia

British Petroleum is the new British Columbia and similar to the crisis Bolivia faced, our water (and yours) is at risk. Denied as a human right in this modern country, water trades at $1.52 on the stock market. It only makes sad sense that the country with the worst environmental project on the planet would team with the worst offenders of industry practices. Lepers and pariahs share unapproachablilty equally. Just ask anyone who goes near the police lines that protect them.
In the situation of being stranded with strangers and limited supplies, would you trust your precious water to the most irresponsible, greedheads in the group?
Our province was handed a Billion dollars for green energy, BP managed to qualify by having a green logo I guess.... because wells that use 20,000 gallons of water a day doesn't sound very 'green' to me. Neither does risking an entire water supply in the pursuit of profit. Further to that we have simpler, safer methods for energy now.
One fifth of the worlds water supply comes from Canada and we are treating that very important stewardship with no more regard that a used wad of toilet paper. In fact, how does your new water conserving flush toilet and water restrictions stack up against 20,000 gallons a day? That's one mighty flush my friends, and that is just One well. A little research will tell a terrible tale of collusion, corruption and devastation,...oh yeah, and riches for a few. The rest of us go under the bus. When the world comes asking for 'more please' how do you explain that their lives are not as important as the dollars?
