But I'm sure this dissent will be quashed.<br /><br />I fail to see how calling attention to the elitist networks within the First Nations makes any points for your argument.<br /><br />Oooooo, here's an extra proggy board member.<br /><br /><i>"Merran Smith<br />directs the energy initiative at Tides Canada. A former Climate Director and British<br />Columbia Director with ForestEthics, Merran was the lead environmental architect of the<br />Coast Opportunity Funds conservation agreement signed in 2006.</i> Climate Director indeed, Ha! (I'll bet she has the proper amount of fiber in her diet.)<br /><br />Mike, really I'd like to agree with you but when Babbles challenges a peek into the effed up world of bearing the white mans' burden and I witness pure socialist NGO fiefdoms it makes me think otherwise. <br /><br />There is easy money to be had opposing the pipeline and First Nation Peoples' addiction to the proggy teet is truly appalling.<br /><br />I understand Ukrainians are very keen to work. No need to disturb the First Nations. Efforts should be made to return them to their natural state as part of a more comprehensive environmental approach.∞ ≠ øhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834609205321754608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-90247688922155510682012-01-14T10:15:32.308-04:002012-01-14T10:15:32.308-04:00Your argument is a bit hard to figure out here, Se...Your argument is a bit hard to figure out here, Sentinel. If I can break it down a bit:<br /><br />- Some BC First Nations have received funding for economic development, aquaculture, tourism, forestry, and other projects from a non-profit organization called "Coast Opportunity Funds". <br />- Coast opportunity Funds gets its funding from multiple sources, including the government of Canada, the Government of BC, corporations, and several Canadian and international foundations, including the Rockefeller Fund. <br />- One of those foundations is the Tides Canada Foundation, which has links to the Tides Foundation.<br />- The Tides Foundation has links to George Soros. <br /><br />Therefore "Canadian Indian opposition to a pipeline that will cross their land and may pose significant environmental risk to their fisheries is "part of the global warming/climate change" swindle??<br /><br />Before I explore the logic of this further, did I get your argument right?<br /><br />A couple of points to consider:<br /><br />a) You seem to feel that "Canadian Indians" are automatically anti-development. In fact, much of the land now under development for oil, gas and minerals in Alberta, the NWT, Ontario, Nunavut and elsewhere is being developed in collaboration and with the active participation of Aboriginal communities.<br /><br />b) You seem to think that the Coast Opportunity Funds has some kind of veto on the activities and positions of First Nations that receive its funding for specific projects. That is incorrect. As is normally the case, the money that they grant any recipient may only be used for the purposes the recipient has applied for. They have no authority (and, I would imagine, little interest) in attempting to pressure Haida. Nor would they - look at their Board.<br /><br />c) You seem to think that the Haida are being tricked or pressured into opposing a project that may have actual impact on their lands and, in the event of a spill, on the operation of their aquaculture industry. Why would they NOT be concerned about that?<br /><br />d) Have you applied your obviously formidable investigative skills to the question of whether foreign interests - let's say any multinationals or foreign governments - are providing funds to support this project?balbulicannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-56305475706972344272012-01-14T09:23:40.529-04:002012-01-14T09:23:40.529-04:00My point is that it's ridiculous to believe th...My point is that it's ridiculous to believe that aboriginal people don't have a vital interest in the matter simply because they've received funding from a group which receives some of its funding from a group that receives some of its funding from Soros. I hope that the pipeline can be built in such a way that the environment is protected and lots of natives get hired.MikeAdamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268581071156700887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-27785030023755872422012-01-14T02:31:52.574-04:002012-01-14T02:31:52.574-04:00So.... with that said:

But when does atrophy, perhaps racial atrophy, become apparent? And who decides this? And why?<br /><br />A fully disciplined Marxist analysis may lead you to ask this question elsewhere.∞ ≠ øhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834609205321754608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-31510170120364542422012-01-13T08:50:16.344-04:002012-01-13T08:50:16.344-04:00No, their image would be helped if they weren'...No, their image would be helped if they weren't on the take for money, weren't making Useful Idiots of themselves for rich white liberal men who make oodles of cash off the energy industry by strangling the supply to keep prices rising as demand inevitably rises.Canadian Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255833874079591126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-34962588463025595482012-01-13T08:36:48.128-04:002012-01-13T08:36:48.128-04:00Their image would be helped if they stood up for t...Their image would be helped if they stood up for the interests of the energy industry instead?MikeAdamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268581071156700887noreply@blogger.com
