What the heck is a Wilderburb and how do we save it?
Wilderburb in this book is defined as the North Shore and the Inlet and those parts of Vancouver where you will find wildlife like beavers, otters, great blue herons, bears and eagles sharing space comfortably with the human beings who live there as well. It’s paradise. The reference to “saving” this magical habitat is in connection with a mad scheme to allow over 400 oil tankers to intrude on the scene and ship filthy toxic bitumen right through the heart of the would-be “greenest city in the world.” (click on the URL below)

Ground Zero of the Battle for Burnaby Mountain
TransMountain continues to rip up thousands of trees atop Burnaby Mtn in preparation for the expansion of its pipeline while directly across the fence on the other side the Tsleil Waututh have erected a Watch Cabin. If there is a "ground zero" in the battle against global warming this is it.
Costs and benefits of TransMountain need to quantified
As the saying goes “those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.” In 2017 over 1,300 fires smoked approximately 65,000 British Columbians out of their homes
The sustainable way forward for our energy sector
As the Prime Minister continues to push for further extraction and export of Tar Sands bitumen for the benefit of Texan oil companies and Chinese communists, it’s time to look at a purely Canadian energy sector that has been ignored, a pan-American electricity grid.
