B.C. Canada is having to put up a fight to stop the Peace River Valley from being flooded by erecting a 'Site C Damn on the last remaing full valley with organic agricultural land that could give independence of organic food to 2,000,000 B.C. people.
The U.S. Govt. is pushing the Provincial Government of British Columbia to go ahead with the Site C project. They say they"ll export American food to us Canadians if we build the dam.
We Canadians don't need to have imported food to our homeland. Presently because of suppression of the Canadian Farmer-Peasant classes, B.C. is forced to import 80% of out food mostly from Mexico and the U.S. This was never the case in the early days of last century when there was 52% of the working class were farmers.
That has been reduced wrongheadedly to 3% of the working class population. Now they import contaminated chemicalized and posisoned foods that are tasteless and not as nutricious as in the old days.
Disease and sickness arrive with the contamination of food supplies both animal and plant. The tribes are arriving year around to protect water and our food, so we can again become independent of foreign domination of our food supply.
Like standing rock we are recieving help and support for our just cause from all segments or our society.
The Police and Military have throughout the decades been used to suppress the working classes and those that actively protest for a more correct policy when it conflicts with Monopoly Capitalism plans for pollution and war and auserity.
We hope the Water Protectors at Standing Rock make the plain truth for all the world's peoples to see, that water protects all living beings in the ecological balance of the organic web-of-life on our beautiful planet.
You yet have a world to win!! End fossil fuel pollution wars,, double democracy in Canada, Mexico and the United States by electing woman equally, Gender parity as 50-50 electing resides the harmony and joy of the entire species.
Workers of the world unite! Renewable energy such as wind, tidal, and solar power transformed to electricity will end pollution of the organic and inorganic web-of-life and allow the green revoluton to provide clean oxygen in a positive valance again, so the planet will be in a plus mode again. Voila, Socialism!!
