Petroleum profits and their political mouse pieces quickly used BC’s Fast-Track exports to LNG as Asia and revived long-range pipelines such as eastern energy or northern gateways. The road will deepen our dependence on unstable democracy and climate (oil and dictator).

In short: We must create a response to Trump’s invasion of our economy and national identity of the United States and fossil fuel extractionism.
