Help Stop the “Gateway to Global Warming”!
Our Environment Minister in BC may be close to signing the environmental certification for the Gateway project.
If Barry Penner signs the certification for this project his legacy would be that of the Environment Minister that gave the green light to the most counter productive and in fact destructive transportation mega-project of our generation! (See below for a brief update)
On Minster Penner’s website he claims “The BC Government is working to aggressively address global warming and climate change” he even goes on to clearly state “there is still more work to be done if we are to meet our legally-mandated goal of reducing BC’s greenhouse gas emissions by 33% by 2020″. How he could say this one day and then rubber stamp what many are calling “the gateway to global warming” is unconscionable.
Concerned British Columbian’s are writing letters and emails to the minister of the environment and the Premier insisting that the environmental assessment not be signed and that genuine consultation take place. This is your chance to have your voice heard and tell Barry Penner and Gordon Campbell to do the right thing.

This is a crucial issue. It concerns me, you, and our children. With rising fuel prices, food shortages about to hit us, climate change, we need all the farm land, bogs and public transit we can get. Don’t bury your head in the sand – take a stand, we can win this!
