About this video 

Popular Vancouver-based recording artist Dan Mangan on the choices facing British Columbians as Kinder Morgan plans to dramatically ramp up oil tanker traffic through Vancouver. “We should be investing in science and the environment, in order to create an economy that self-sustains rather than scrapes the barrel for whatever is left in fossil fuels,” Mangan tells us from a Vancouver beach near his home.
