Local reaction was, shall we say, viscious!<br />Now we have permanent drought in the SW USA and Mexico and the BC Libs forcing ahead with Site C for no logical reason whatsoever.<br />Both of these monstrosities figured prominently in NAWAPA.<br />I'm not suggesting that Parson's original proposal will be implemented in its original form but I truly believe that some modified form of this scheme is being foisted upon us. NAWAPA, in some form, is not dead!<br />Alison, I may well be wrong (the BC Libs would not deceive us, would they?) but in my 70 yrs on this Earth I have learned to trust my intuition. As e.a.f. states above, let us see if the FED. Libs ratify this project.<br />Cheers;<br />Ernie T.<br />Denman Island <br /> Ernest RB Titcombnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-52369269543004113932016-06-21T09:15:38.537-07:002016-06-21T09:15:38.537-07:00It is to be hoped Trudeau does not sign anything t...It is to be hoped Trudeau does not sign anything to permit Site C to go ahead. it will be a disaster financially and environmentally. it would however make a lot of money for those who are awarded the contracts by Christy. We shall see if Trudeau signs the contracts. If he does it will clearly signal all his talk about First Nations rights was just so much bull shit.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-73016159360234041452016-06-20T22:42:42.984-07:002016-06-20T22:42:42.984-07:00I watched a Lyndon LaRouche vid about that once - ...I watched a Lyndon LaRouche vid about that once - got as far as his rant about the evils of environmentalism.

Please Google NAWAPA (North American Water And Power Alliance) which has been taken off the shelf 60 years after being first proposed by Ralph M. Parsons Engineering.<br />Cheers;<br />Ernie T.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
