The Campbell River Mirror reports, “More than 60 opponents of the proposed Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipelines and increased coastal oil tanker traffic rallied Wednesday outside the Campbell River office of NDP MLA Claire Trevena. …Council of Canadians Campbell River chapter spokesman Richard Hagensen said: ‘We are protesting both the Enbridge and the Kinder Morgan pipelines. We are concerned about the possibility of spillage. Also, government should be investing in sustainable energy like solar power, tidal power and wind power and not subsidizing the oil companies.’ …Scores of passing motorists honked their support as the protesters waved banners, chanted and cheered at the ‘Defend Our Coast’ event, one of many at political offices across B.C.”
