The Answer Is Still No is an important, urgent book that compiles
interviews with people who live along the route of the proposed
Enbridge pipeline in Northern British Columbia. The oil pipeline
and supertankers - linking the tar sands of Alberta to the demand
of the growing Asian market - are a key component of Canada's
strategy of natural resource extraction. But for the people living
along the proposed pipeline route, Enbridge poses a massive
environmental risk, which threatens their way of life. This edited
collection takes the passionate words and voices of twelve citizens
and activists and results in one powerful position when it comes to
blind economic development at the expense of our environment and
communities: The answer is still "no." "The oil and gas industry
has wanted into the west coast for decades. This is an ongoing
struggle between the people who live here and have access to the
marine resources now, the fish, and the industry, which wants in
either for tanker traffic or offshore drilling. The government is
on the oil industry side and they implement policies to weaken us."
- Luanne Roth, Prince Rupert "[There is] is a great saying: 'If we
don't speak for the animals, the fish and the birds, who will?'
Simple, very simple, very to the point. And how could we give up
something that our great-great-grandchildren will ask us one day
'Why don't we have this anymore? Why didn't you stop this then?' We
don't have a right to let that happen." - John Ridsdale, Hereditary
Chief Na'Moks, Office of the Wet'suwet'en
