have you ever seen ... ( 2 months ago by clayoilpatchman)

have you ever seen how the first nations fish? Take a drive to the Hazeltons and you will see native with pick up trucks loaded with fish that they try to sell to the whites and tourists, the fish that do not sell they dump out of their trucks onto the ground and walk away to get more the next day and start all over again, very wastefull people, always have been and always will be. Look at the houses over there on the reserves they are built with our tax dollars and r thrashed within few years

Do some research into regulations in BC and maybe then you can form an educated opinion!

Mother Earth? I ... ( 2 months ago by woofybigj)

Mother Earth? I think you know exactly what I meant by that, the constant coaching by the environmentalists to the natives, pretty soon the natives start using the same catch phrases, whether subliminaly or on purpose. Seems like culture training to me...

Before you get ... ( 2 months ago by woofybigj)

Before you get trashed for podting that Clay, Ive got one that can't be disputed: In the 1960's A Bison herd was brought into Pink Mountain by a local rancher, after sometime this man lost custody of the herd and it was forfieted to the crown, the herd grew until in the 90's a cull was undertaken to thin them out. Soon aboriginals staked a claim based on cultural and historical use...They were given the first pick while the rest of the citizenry had to enter a draw. Lo and behold they...(con't)

(con't)...sold the ... ( 2 months ago by woofybigj)

(con't)...sold the rights to their Souix cousins from the States. The herd was decimated and wasted, everything was shot, didn't matter if it was cow-calf or immature bulls...it set that herd back so much so that the draw portion of the hunt was cancelled for the law abiding hunters.....I'm thinking you may get some nasty comments for speaking out....I can't see how some of the enviro's that post on here can be taken seriously, they live in the city and don't know too much.

That bison herd is ... ( 2 months ago by clayoilpatchman)

That bison herd is still there and there are limited entry draws for them every year. Or is this a different herd you speak of. Thank you for adding another positive spin on this site.

Been out of that ... ( 2 months ago by woofybigj)

Been out of that part of the country for awile, I knew the herd was still there but was not aware that it had been opened up again. The fact remains that the natives got first pick and were hunting from vehicles.

I enjoy debating ... ( 2 months ago by woofybigj)

I enjoy debating these guys. It amazes me that they think sacred is only out in the wilderness. Everyone of us lives on someone-elses's land if you want to believe the here first arguement. When landclaims and native rights come to the cities ( and its close just look at Ontairio and the housing blockade )then you might hear them singing a different tune.

We can't all be ... ( 2 months ago by clayoilpatchman)

We can't all be doctors, lawyers, bankers, or work for Starbucks! Maybe if it was their jobs/communities/livelyhod they would have different ideas! I bought every house/property that I lived in same as my dad and my grandfather fought in the war to keep us free... so how did I take anything from anybody? if you have a problem with what happened years ago dig up those responsible for selling you out and take it up with them, leave me my tax dollars and my livelyhood out of it!!

Yes they were I saw ... ( 2 months ago by clayoilpatchman)

Yes they were I saw them with my own eyes in the winter when the bison head down to the lowlands by the rivers they were slaughtered by the natives off of oil patch related roads that whites are not allowed to use for hunting, or even carry firearms in their vehicles.

So she leaves her ... ( 2 months ago by jamieellerton)

So she leaves her tank empty until the next gas station. Canada's oil industry faces some of the toughest, and ethically strong regulation in the world. We should be using more Canadian oil and gas and minimizing our use of dirty oil and gas from conflict regions. We can't run on empty forever and we must fuel up somewhere.

You and that other ... ( 2 months ago by surferray69)

You and that other person can pat each other on the ass all day ong if you want.Because some natives may have done something stupid.But we all live on this planet and I don't ike seeing mountains blown up and I don't like poisin in my water.I'm funny like that.If this is the only way to get gas,i'd rather go back to riding a horse.Its funny how petroleum companies can rob you bind not only of your money but also your natural resources.And you defend them as if they gave a rats ass about you.

I actually laughed ... ( 2 months ago by woofybigj)

I actually laughed when I read this. You get on that high horse or try to get off it just as soon as you can. I actually work in this business why don't you show me this poisoned water. Oil companies robbing me blind? The oil industry is the only thing keeping Canada out of recession (or depression) right now and I am sure that is not that far off the truth for the USA as well. Its called supply and demand. Stealing natural resources? Are they never to be used then?

congratulations you ... ( 2 months ago by surferray69)

congratulations you have a job.I've seen how the oil companies mine for that black sand that contains oil.They have to blow up thousands of acres of land.And it needs to be much more heavily refined to extract the oil from the sand.Where do you suppose all those chemiclas go ?
I won't have to show you where the water is poisined or the air either.when your dropping dead from cancer you'll know exactly where those poisins went.

Can't wait until my ... ( 2 months ago by woofybigj)

Can't wait until my laptop comes with wooden keys and plywood hard drive. Tell you what surfer you give up everything made possible by hyrocarbon extraction then send me a picture. Wish I had faith that you do in the dreamworld you are living in. Thought the discussion had to do with CBM wells, show me the poisoned water.The oil sands are what they are. Don't suppose anyone told you cancer rates were on the rise ever since the Peace River was dammed 35 years ago and the natural flood cycle lost

So how long until ... ( 2 months ago by clayoilpatchman)

So how long until you turn in your car for a horse? They WERE are resources until the govornment (on our behalf) sold them for large sums of money that help run our beautiful province. These companies then gain the right to explore and develop these resources and in doing so pay more money to the govornment for what they extract as well as employ a good part of the whole country, as people from every province travel to work in the oilpatch No oilpatch work = loss of work nation wide

I hope one day, the rebels can destory everything from Shell company and i mean everything.
I hope one day shell company loses everything they own.

Just a note, you ... ( 1 month ago by saintlysparrow)

Just a note, you should change the title to "British Columbia: Niger North?" - Niger is clearly a different country than Nigeria.

The only resources ... ( 1 month ago by Xakryn)

The only resources humans need can be made with far more natural products in far less destructive ways and its the oil companies and the subsidies the government gives them that prevent these things from taking root. Corporations have no conscience, they think profit, profit, profit. I'm in BC and canada in a depression would certainly snap this nation out of its political apathy, which may to be to little to late anyways. Enjoy your 51st state.

Tell that to ... ( 1 month ago by woofybigj)

Tell that to Kinder-Morgan, pipelining through Jasper National Park right now, going above and beyond, spending many extra millions to prove that the oil industry can do its work and leave a national treasure better off than it was before. Or tell it to the past president of an oil company I worked for who now works for Chevron, donated both his time and money to the United Way, still does. Ya corporations and the people who run them are the epitomy of evil.

Hope there is a big ... ( 3 weeks ago by woofybigj)

Hope there is a big bar-b-que, nothing like propane and propane accessories, please don't burn wood in the campfires (sequestered carbon don't you know) Hope everyone drives a vehicle, preferably one for every elder, nothing like gas to get you where you want to go. Most of all I hope I can contribute in some small way to the party, somehow as a working tax paying Canadian I think I already have. So please have a drink on me. I guess its back to Nigeria for Shell, where the business is easier.
