Our biggest issue is that we are fighting against the demand of the international market. We have a government that has embassies and sends out envoys to develop markets for our products such as oil, fish, minerals, wood and other materials that aquiring to export create ecological problems. The only way to stop this madness is to stop the markets from buying these materials,,,FAT CHANCE. We are a part of the problem, such as if we bought the oil at home there would be no need to ship it out, no pipeline, no tankers. Then we are responsible for the oilsands environmental disaster. Can we run our boats and autos and other toys without fuel, or are we willing to not use them? I do not think so, even the lousy DFO is a product of our needs. This is a lot of blame to accept but if we want change it has to start somewhere, as for myself I am not willing to paddle my boat from Rupert to Dundas or am I willing to cut my lawn by hand or many other things we are use to using some kind of fuel for. We like to buy our produce at places like Overwaitea so we support Pattison in his quest to become super rich while cutting us from getting a full season of halibut fishing because he owns quota that was once ours.
In a nutshell we are all responsible in some way for our issues. We have famous people telling us to find greener ways of transportation but I have yet to see them on public transportation. I do not expect to have as much as those a** hOles but I am not willing to sacrifice to make them feel great! I accept the responsibility for some of the situation we are in but fully realize that I am not alone.
Where do we go from here?
