My thoughts...<br />To read this story in the TYEE (Ultra left wing rag …Think Tea Party with Birkenstocks) you'd think that the whole region (pop.18, 000) showed up.<br />1) The numbers given 300 attended. Photos from this article sure do not indicate that amount. Pictures indicate maybe 50 people in the room.<br />2) Hereditary chiefs of the 9 allied tribes. Those are not the "elected" Chiefs and in fact 8 of the 9 Democracies that make up the alliance have already signed on in support of the PETRONAS build. The last non - signer is the Lax. The new Mayor (John Helin) has stated that he will rely on the science (last week the DFO said "Low Risk to the environment).The LAX are holding town hall meetings through to February on the project.<br />3) The NDP M.L.A. signed on .Okay that's nice but again in our DEMOCRCY the opposition does it's best to discredit the Gov. (knock them down so you look better...that's Sad but the way it is) <br />4) Outside forces (the Environmentalists groups) the concert for Lelu? Give me a break. Now they are making a Documentary...The funding for this is coming from where? Look into That.<br />5) The Nisga'a (they I am guessing not invited to this shin ding?)Are for the build and the elected Gov. and the elders I believe wisely signed on. The basis of their decision is that it will be best for the future of the Tribe and the children's future.<br /><br />@StockShamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260351662015171157noreply@blogger.com
