Pipeline Through Paradise

Why oil sands, a sunken ferry, and the price of oil in China have the Great Bear Rainforest in an uproar - National Geographic Society.

View the CINE film festival award winning documentary spOIL to see what's at risk by Enbridge & Alberta's dirty oil sands!

Tar sands to tankers - The fight against Enbridge - Living Oceans Video

Oil in Eden: The Battle to Protect Canada's Pacific Coast - Pacific Wild Video

The secrets and wonders of the Great Bear Rainforest: Global TV - Land of the Spirit Bear Series

Over a year later they are still trying to clean up 819,000 gallons of oil that Enbridge spilled into the Kalamazoo River near Marshall Michigan.

It's also worth noting that Canadian taxpayers will be on the hook for billions of dollars in clean up costs from a catastrophic oil spill from the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline tankers.

Exxon Valdez 22 Years Later - a video showing what happens when enough oil is spilled to cover 1300 miles of coastline & 11,000 square miles of ocean... 22 years later!

The 225 tankers per year that will have to navigate some of the most treacherous waters in the world, along the B.C. coast & Douglas Channel, will each carry 500,000 more barrels of oil than the Exxon Valdez!
