Haida Gwaii artists send message to Harper about Enbridge pipeline
A pointed message directed at Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper about the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Project is making the rounds online.
'Haida Raid 2' is a stop motion video made by Ken Leslie from the Haidawood Media Project. The animation was made with Jaalen Edenshaw and Jason Alsop, and features a rap song called "Pipe Dreams" by Alsop.
The message at the end of the video reads:
Right Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper,
Please remember: you work for the people of Canada. Not for the international oil companies.
The people of Haida Gwaii don't want the Enbridge pipeline.
The seas here support a bounty of natural life. We don't want oil tankers in these precious waters.
Oil tankers bring oil spills and oil spills would damage this ecosystem, and the fish, shellfish and seaweed upon which the people depend.
We don't want to move to Alberta and work in the tar sands.We want to live here as we have done for thousands of years.

I love you're Video its real scary whats happening to Canada and I thankyou for bringing this video to be shared with other's we just have to continue our fight and one day it will go our way.
The Haida Gwaii, do not have to comply with Harper's Treason, no Canadian does.
The BC citizens are firmly supporting the F.N. People, to stop the threat of the Enbridge pipeline and the dirty tar tankers, from destroying their food sources.
Enbridge and Harper have been a litany of lies, deceit, corruption, dirty tactics and dirty politics. Enbridge is famous for not cleaning up their last 804 spills.
Harper is merging Canada with Communist China. The BC citizens are totally against Communism. Harper and China's, lack of Human Rights, lack of Democracy and Citizens Rights and Liberties being taken away from us...we will fight to the last ditch, to try and save our country from Harper. We will fight to save our province, from becoming a polluted wasteland, for the benefit of Harper and Communist China.
We don't want the spills, Alberta has just had. The Bitumen oil, is letal with chemicals. The dirtiest oil on the planet.
As they say. Man is the most destructive animal on earth....and the most stupid one at that.
