Oilsands pipeline risks explained in "BC's Huge Gamble" film

The short film lays bare not only the environmental and economic detriment to be expected if the Northern Gateway Pipeline is approved, but it also expounds Enbridge's disregard for the health of residents as well. Posing a threat to the province's coastal communities, unique rain forests, commercial fisheries and thriving tourism industry. Created by Leo Award nominee Corey Ogilvie, BC's Huge Gamble will leave you wondering just what will happen if Enbridge Inc. creeps into your own backyard.
