Harper Approves the Gateway Pipeline

Dogwood Initiative


Larry,

By now I’m sure you’ve heard the federal cabinet has approved
Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal for B.C.’s north coast.

Yes, the news is saddening and far from surprising, but you and 

I both know this fight is far from over.

As we move on to the next step in this journey, we know
Canadians are more committed than ever to each other and
the place we call home. Together, against all odds, we will
outfight Enbridge and the unlimited wealth of its oil industry backers.


British Columbians have the power stop this pipeline, but we 

need the help of people like you, Larry, who live outside of B.C. 
to help reach them. 
Can you help us get the word out by sharing our

call to action with your B.C. networks or on social media?

Here’s what we know for sure: the majority of British Columbians
have always opposed the expansion of oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s

coast. Now it’s time to bring those people together and build the 

most powerful democratic movement the West Coast has ever 
seen. 

 We’re going to give B.C. politicians no choice but to stand up

for our home.

Premier Clark said it best: nobody can force this pipeline through 

B.C. if the people don’t want it. We’re going to hold her to her word

so she withholds the permits necessary for construction. We can
make this happen, but we need your help now more than ever.

Please share the pledge with every British Columbian friend 

and family member you have:

We’re asking our politicians to carry out the will of the majority,
but we’re ready if they let us down. We have to give B.C.
politicians no choice but to hold the line. If Premier Clark
flip-flops and starts issuing pipeline permits, we will be
forced to cancel them.

By sharing the pledge during this critical time,
you’ll help us reach more British Columbians than we
ever could alone.

Thanks again for your support. It’s the reason we’re able to
fight Enbridge on the ground here in B.C. and it’s the reason
we’re so close to winning.

Talk soon,

Kai on behalf of the Dogwood team

P.S. If British Columbians could vote on Northern Gateway,
the project would be dead tomorrow.

Are hungry kids a priority for the Harper government? by Larry Powell The forum (for the riding of Dauphin - Swan River - Neepawa) was sponsored by the Mission and Services Committee of the Neepawa United Church. It drew about 80 people to the church on Wednesday. But only four of the five candidates (see below) took part in the debate -  Ray  Piché  (Liberal),   Kate Storey (Green Party),  Inky Mark (Ind.) and  Laverne Lewycky (NDP) . The 5th candidate, the sitting Conservative MP for the area, Robert Sopuck (represented by the empty chair on the right), did not attend. His office manager in Neepawa, Christine Waddell, said he was in Inglis, a small community in the western part of the riding for the evening. She did not elaborate. But she did explain that a campaign worker was mistaken when he told forum organizers earlier that Mr. Sopuck would, in fact be there. Piché , the Liberal candidate, said the MP's absence showed “disrespect” for the rest of the candidates

A Candidate's Forum on Child Poverty Touches a Nerve in Manitoba.

by Larry Powell Planet In Peril has sorted through some of the confusion surrounding the absence of Robert Sopuck (above), the Conservative Member of Parliament for Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa,  from a candidates' forum on child poverty in Neepawa on Wednesday.  About a month ago, his office told forum organizers that he would be attending.  But his office manager in Neepawa, Christine Waddell, later announced he could not attend due to "scheduling conflicts." She said the night of the event, he was in Inglis, a small town in the western part of his riding.  This morning, however, Sopuck himself told PinP he had actually been in Roblin, a larger town just north of Inglis. A newspaper ad indicated it was a "meet and greet" affair. But that was in the morning in Roblin, a town within a 3-hour drive of Neepawa. So it's still not clear what the event in Inglis was which took priority over a candidate's forum. The MP bristled at my suggestion th
