IMPORTANT LEGISLATION COMING IN BC
The government
doesn't give a little unless it can taketh away... I'm
sure Campbell and his cronies have been working on this for the past
decade before it came up to our leaders- taking into consideration
corporations, resources etc. The Olympics are at hand and we,
the eco-system have lost lands to permanent infrasctructure.
Let's not forget the 'history' of
British Columbia, Harriet Nahanee lost due to the Eagle Ridge Bluff
expansion. Bear Mountain Interchange, Sun Peaks. Look at more
and more housing developments up into the mountains.
I see exploitation written
into any agreements offered by the government, especially B.C. at
this time. Are we repeating history? We speak their
language now, why give in so easily? Giving up more title and
rights in exchange for what little there is of land, timber &
other resources? What trinkets do we recieve in return?
I hope more research is taken into consideration and the people need
to be consulted as well. This is a good time to take a stand, not
just give in and sign more rights away so that the government can
again say, THIS IS A NEW ERA.. FOR "US."
