ReViLing TMX's Risky Re-Up

I did - & you can too, thru Dogwood at this link:

 https://dogwoodbc.ca/petitions/pipelines-not-essential/

(It's important we communicate with Govt. any way we can - calling, letters etc. - because it has an impact.. esp. when you join organizations that are direct-dialled to their offices, like Dogwood & Stand.Earth & many other good people making a difference to bring about a better future for everyone!)

It's also recommended you add your own comments, for extra impact!  Here are mine added to this letter expressing dismay at govt's ill-timed & misguided reopening of COVID-rife work camps in BC:


I'm hugely disappointed in our govts - provincial & federal - for their utter hypocrisy in favouring polluting corporate interests over Canadians' health & wellbeing.  COVID-19 has only heighTened this dangerous disconnect between policy & practice, as leaders like yourself continue to endanger our communities by advancing the policies & projects proven to exacerbate catastrophic climate change/ eco-harms:  i.e. the VERY ACTIVITIES YOUR GOVT. URGENTLY NEEDS TO CURTAIL!!?

Trans Mountain - along with LNG Canada & Old-growth logging - rates among our WORST EVER eco-disasters-in-the-making, guaranteed to drive our native Orcas to extinction & our GHGs through the roof.  Advancing construction of this deadly project - AGAINST key climate/ environmental/ public concerns - threatens us ALL..

Building new pipelines at this stage - i.e. the end of the polluting 'oil era' - cannot possibly be classified as an 'essential service'(!!?)  Doing so makes a mockery of our climate goals & any COVID-related public health measures:  SHAME!



[K guess what?  THIS  is the comment added to that petition.. NOT the comment I submitted to the --yes!!?-- BC Govt in response to their call for public comment on their "Reconsideration" "report" -- which is official, so i upped the ante.. then my phone died & I thought I hadn't copied it.. so the post just after THIS one is my final submission - totally rewritten - as it turns out, I hadn'T properly contained the topic to their specifics --which my final comment DID, after reading all their bs palaver - so why shouldn't MY input be just as long?.. Anyway it all panned out, as they say..]


(Hopefully they'll include it, attached links & all, which are jusT as relevant to my words.. I'll add em when I have a sec to spare ok??  Cheers!)
