You know I never do this, so let that be the indicator of just how much this angers me.
On Monday, a law was passed that gives oil, gas and mining companies the power to open up BC’s provincial parks for industrial activity. Resource companies will now be able to drill exploratory wells, build roads and dig giant test pits, all in the name of pipeline and transmission line “research”.
Unless we act now to change this law, some of the most beautiful parks in Canada could be opened up to industrial development, setting a dangerous precedent as oil, gas and mining companies scramble to extract as many fossil fuel resources as possible from deep below the soil. If we add our voices to the thousands of letters that the BC Ministry of Environment has already received, they will be forced to respond.
Join me to take action now to keep Big Oil out of our parks.
