Royal Dutch will damage fishing
As an owner and operator of a steelhead angling guiding business in the Skeena Watershed, I want to formally register my opposition to Royal Dutch Shells proposed coalbed methane development in the Klappan (also known as The Sacred Headwaters).
This area is the very headwaters of the Skeena river itself. It is through this magnificent river that all of the steelhead and salmon who ascend those tributaries must pass.
This project has the potential to damage all of the many businesses such as my own, that rely on healthy runs of wild steelhead and salmon. Ours is a sector of the Wild Salmon economy here in Northwest B.C. that makes a very significant and, more to the point, truly sustainable, contribution to the region. The Wild Salmon economy makes annual revenues of $110 million, and comprises a wide variety of users and stakeholders, from the sport fishing industry, First Nations food fishery, the commercial fishery and many other tourism based businesses.
Now is the time for the premier of this province to make the right choice for the residents and business owners of the Skeena watershed and stop this ill-conceived project before it begins.

It is now official. The Enbridge pipeline plan to ship Alberta tar sands oil to Kitimat is back on the drawing board with announcement that Roger Harris has been hired by Enbridge as vice president for aboriginal and community partners.
Mr. Harris at the announcement was quick to say and I quote this is an exciting project and that it will be environmentally safe and environmentally sustainable and there will be benefits for all of those who live along the route.
The combination of the Pacific Trails natural gas pipeline proposal and the planned Enbridge oil and condensate pipelines, together, will cut a huge swath through a wild, pristine wilderness, across many streams, and through many wetlands.
Regardless of how Mr. Harris and others want to spin it there will be an enormous environmental impact. I will concede that Enbridge will do everything possible to reduce that impact and use every mitigation tool at its disposal.
Unfortunately nothing can or will replace the wild, natural piece of northwest British Columbia that will be torn up by these pipelines.
As the battle heats up, much will be said pro and con about this very controversial project. And yes, I predict there will be many people from around British Columbia who express their anger over the plans for gigantic oil tankers to ply their way through North Coast waters to and from Kitimat.
With the progression of the debate it will be made very clear whether or not all of those who live along the proposed pipeline route and the waters where the tankers will travel will, Mr. Harris states, benefit from this project.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
IN JULY 2007, MR BILL CAMPBELL (ABOVE, A RETIRED GROUP AUDITOR OF SHELL INTERNATIONAL SENT AN EMAIL TO EVERY UK MP AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS:
