Despite rejecting Northern Gateway, is the BC government doing everything in its power to enable it?

Do the nine 8056587 Canada Inc. run of river and power line projects have anything to do with the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines project? Some coincidences and inconsistencies between the two have me believing they are definitely linked.

Minister Polak told the reporter, and therefore the public, that the BC government has not followed through on the threats of October 2012, and that in fact they had already issued licenses and permits for Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipelines, and made offers of tenure to one of their numbered companies as well. Instead, she chose to evade the issue and spoke more about the five conditions.

Through news articles from November 22, 2013, I learned that a company owned by Enbridge Inc., 8056587 Canada Inc., had applied to the BC government for a run of river project on the Clore River 60 kilometres southeast of Terrace. Enbridge spokesperson Ivan Giesbrecht stated Enbridge had received a license to carry out investigative assessments into the feasibility of that run-of-river project.

A search of the BC government Applications and Reasons for Decision (ARFD) web site at the time did not show an application for the Clore run of river project, however, it did reveal that 8056587 Canada Inc. had applied for four investigative works licenses for run of river power projects northeast of Prince George and one for a corresponding power transmission line which would connect to the BC Hydro grid at Bear Lake.

Those projects were referenced in a December 12 article where it was reported that Enbridge Inc., through an anonymous numbered company, is seeking to build an undisclosed number of hydroelectric projects; Enbridge is saying they are part of the company’s green energy plans and are not being built to power pumps for the company’s proposed 1,177-kilometre Northern Gateway pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat. The article also stated that Enbridge has applied for and received an investigative licence to conduct preliminary assessment work at possible project sites in B.C. and Alberta.

Christy and her cabal have been issuing run of river permits to a numbered enbridge company along the route. Lying paid off bastards. Then you hear about cops investigating opponents of the pipeline. Some natives have blockades up there stopping them from getting in to their territory.
