Poets for the Peace

#BREAKINGNEWS! Today, we learned that West Moberly First Nations has won an important motion following an appearance in court in March. B.C. Supreme Court has ...ordered disclosure of documents related to the projected final cost and safety of Site C dam. When West Moberly launched their lawsuit against Canada, B.C. and BC Hydro @bchydro, the RAVEN community stepped up - big time. You donated over $223k in just 6 weeks to ensure that the Nation not only have their day in court, but that they arrive equipped with the best possible evidence and legal representation. Today’s win is a step towards that vision. Now, the Nation can prepare for trial in a much more targeted and strategic way. For example, West Moberly’s geotechnical experts will now be able to focus their scrutiny on specific areas of weakness identified in the newly-acquired materials. Similarly, the financial experts will be able to work with actual figures on which the government is basing its decision-making, rather than piecing it together like taxpayers have been forced to do. Does this mean British Columbians will finally get to see the hottest docs in town? Not so fast! Justice Milman’s order does not allow West Moberly First Nations to share the materials with the public, and West Moberly must hold them subject to a confidentiality agreement to be negotiated with B.C. We’re relieved and glad for West Moberly that they can now carry on with their legal preparations equipped with this important evidence. The overwhelming support you’ve given to this case has buoyed the spirits of a Nation who has been pushing back against mega-dams for generations. We are so happy to be celebrating with them, and with you. Go plant your feet on the spring grass and do a happy dance!!

"Building one of the biggest dams in the world should not supersede an Indigenous Nation’s right to hunt, fish, and practice their culture in any case. But building a dam that poses serious risks, without a proven need for the power, at an outrageous cost compared to the alternatives? That’s the stronger case that West Moberly are crafting." https://ricochet.media//unsafe-unnecessary-and-unlawful-fi

This dam is cursed.

Thank you Bud Napoleon for your powerful words

BC, don't pull a Muskrat Falls on us.

"BC Hydro is a financial dumpster fire."

if they push the Site C Scam to the point of no return, no return is what they will get.

"Many of the Sustainabiliteens would have been 18 if the election had taken place when it had been scheduled in calling it early, Horgan essentially stole our right to vote."

Peace River Valley and Site C before and after. The currently under construction Site C Dam on the Peace River is showing structural fractures which are raising... questions over whether it can be safely constructed. At the very least it will result in it being very substantially over budget. The Dam was already the subject of vigorous debate as it would destroy some of the most productive agricultural land in Canada’s north, displace multi generational farms, destroy a critically important biodiversity corridor, cause a massive increase in domestic electricity rates, and the destruction of traditional indigenous peoples" lands, burial and hunting grounds, and archeological finds, etc. It disruption of natural water flows could also be the final straw for the already heavily impacted Peace Athabasca Delta in Wood Buffalo Park in Alberta. The delta is a Ramsar Designated wetland, the largest freshwater delta in the world and lies at the convergence of all 4 of North America’s migratory bird flyways. #BCHydro, BCsiteCdam #peacerivervalley #megadam #hydroelectricpower #bchydrositeccleanenergyproject #ilcpphotographers #peaceriver #peaceriverphotography #runoftheriver #sitecdam #peaceriverconservation #foodsecurity #biodiversitycorridor
