Spoil ...this film is a must see...
The fact that our government is not only allowing, but pushing through the expansion of the Alberta oil sands and the building of Enbridge pipelines is insanity. Insanity ? Or greed? Same thing.
Perhaps they will hear the voices of the people and come to their senses.
please follow this link to the Pacific Wild website , scroll down to
the posting of the film" Spoil" and follow links to take action.

another example of Canadian Government Hypocrisy ....
To see that the Royal Canadian Mint is promoting the circulation of a special two dollar coin, aka twoonie to "celebrate" our "legendary" boreal forest while Harper and Enbridge push forward the expansion of the Alberta Oil sands and the building of the Northern Gateway pipeline is hypocrisy at top level. Thousands of hectares of boreal forest have already been destroyed with the potential of 740,000 more hectares of sacred boreal forest on the block if the projected expansion of the Alberta Oil sands is met over the next decade.
Perhaps as Canadians we can use these special twoonies to support a political party that truly has our country's best interest at heart or support groups that are doing their best to protect our environment and prevent projects such as Enbridge's Northern Gateway Pipeline.
...or perhaps if we pool our special twoonies we can buy back Harper's soul for he surely must have sold it to risk the environment of our beautiful country . Our forests, our rivers, our watersheds, our wildlife, our coastline, our well being, are all at risk in the name of a " healthy economy" aka money... pieces of paper that come from the trees in the first place...

Royal Canadian Mint Introduces New Two-Dollar Circulation Coin Celebrating Canada's Boreal Forest Back to Listing
Ottawa, Ontario, November 1, 2011 – The Royal Canadian Mint is pleased to inform Canadians they can soon start collecting a new 2011 two-dollar circulation coin honouring Canada's boreal forest. This coin which has now entered circulation was preceded by a one-dollar circulation coin dedicated to the centennial of Parks Canada in October 2011 and will be followed in early 2012 by a trio of 25-cent coins featuring the Orca, Wood Bison and Peregrine Falcon. All five of these special circulation coins are inspired by the theme of "our legendary nature"; a fixture of Canadian pride and identity.
"The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to help Canadians celebrate their country's legendary natural heritage with five new commemorative circulation coins honouring our great outdoors and a century of nature conservation by Parks Canada," said Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. "As one of the world's largest ecosystems, the boreal forest is an integral part of Canada and of the Canadian experience, which deserves to be immortalized on a special two-dollar circulation coin Canadians can collect from coast to coast to coast."
Below are links to the websites of but two of many groups who are working diligently to protect our environment.

trees....
“For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfil themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured. And every young farm boy knows that the hardest and noblest wood has the narrowest rings, that high on the mountains and in continuing danger the most indestructible, the strongest, the ideal trees grow.Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.
A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail.
A tree says: My strength is trust. I know nothing about my fathers, I know nothing about the thousand children that every year spring out of me. I live out the secret of my seed to the very end, and I care for nothing else. I trust that God is in me. I trust that my labor is holy. Out of this trust I live.
When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. Let God speak within you, and your thoughts will grow silent. You are anxious because your path leads away from mother and home. But every step and every day lead you back again to the mother. Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all.
A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. If one listens to them silently for a long time, this longing reveals its kernel, its meaning. It is not so much a matter of escaping from one's suffering, though it may seem to be so. It is a longing for home, for a memory of the mother, for new metaphors for life. It leads home. Every path leads homeward, every step is birth, every step is death, every grave is mother.
So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.”
― Hermann Hesse
