The case to Stop Site C construction links & news

webcache.googleusercontent.com /search
On New Years Eve 2015, a resident of the Peace River Valley sent me a photo of the eviction notice BC Hydro had
posted to the Shelter at Rocky Mountain Fort camp. I immediately posted to social media via twitter and facebook in
an effort to bring public attention to the situation.
Since then,I start every day by tweeting in support of the Treaty 8 campers and Peace Valley residents/business
owners who remain on site, despite having been served with a civil suit initiated by BC Hydro. You can read that
Notice of Claim here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/296120436/Notice-of-Civil-Claim-against-Site-C-protest-camp
I stand in support of those at Rocky Mountain Fort Camp and all opposed to Site C for many reasons one is that I
feel strongly that the province of British Columbia has been negligent in exempting Site C from independent review
of the BC Utilities Commission, the regulatory agency
Both the premier and duly elected Liberal MLAs have failed in their inherent duty to act in the best interests of British
Columbian taxpayers by refusing every request by not only voters, but also municipalities and organizations across
BC to put the project before the BC Utilities Commission.
In addition,by commencing preliminary site preparation despite several outstanding lawsuits by local First Nations
against Site C, the province has failed in its duty to consult and honour Treaty 8 and demonstrated a complete lack
of regard for due process.
This is the page where I will post everything Ive written about Site C and how the province circumvented process
and due diligence. Ill also post links to other critical reads that are pertinent, in chronological order.
