We received one forwarded email telling us that BC rivers may be sold with these comments.
Anonymous: this is what I spoke of this morning. It is outrageous. Campbell sold out labour with Bill 29 and now he is selling out our resources with Bill 30. I had heard this was happening but did not really believe it!!! We all need to address this issue and perhaps join the coalition. We should maybe put on our agenda or ??? Anonymous
This video is long but very interesting. I am now concerned as to what is going on. What my children will experience if this sell off is in fact true….Anonymous
B.C. Resources being sold out from under the noses of B.C. residents. The video
is a little long but good.
cheers

Please take the time (15 Min or so) to watch the video link below. I think that
our Liberal government should be put in jail for what they have done to the
fabric of our province. The IPP's (Independant Power Producer) are just one
facet of possibly irreparable damage they have done. They have made changes they
had no mandate to do and made most of them outside the legislature.
The potential damage to our future if BC Hydro is not protected is really scary. I do not think that electricity is the main item here, it is the water behind the dams that is the real gold mine and I think the Liberals are positioning it for private sale.
Because of the way the government has operated since elected we have no idea the extent to which these IPP's (Independant Power Producer) can claim ownership of the water and they are popping up all over the place.
I heard on a recent to trip to Fort St. John that Site C is going ahead. Most of the land has been bought up and only a handful of landowners are holding out.
If the Liberals have curtailed BC Hydro's ability to create new dams that would mean that an IPP (Independant Power Producer) would control that water!!
Please take the time to watch the video and pass it on.

| Our current low electricity rates are a result of a legacy created in the last century. Our present government is not acting to protect or maintain this legacy. We are selling off water licenses to private power producers for remarkably low costs. We are permitting the development of private power plants which damage BC’s precious natural resources. We are purchasing electricity for well above market rates. And we are not investing in new technologies or resources for BC Hydro to meet the growing energy needs of the province. This does nothing to develop BC or to protect public interest in the future. We should be developing new sources of electricity through our public utility, and continuing the legacy of reliable, low cost, and green energy that is owned by the people of British Columbia. |

Right now there are 35 private power projects up and running, another 45 have been granted contracts and more than 500 water licenses -- obtaining one of these is the first step for hydro project development -- have been bought.
