CFB Suffield Review


CFB Suffield is a chunk of land in eastern Alberta Canada that contains an area of 458 square kilometers of native prarie within the Canadian Forces Base of
Suffield. It contains one of Canada's last undistrubed grass lands and its residents exheed 1,00 known species of plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and insects of which 14 are listed as Speicies at Risk. Its even been zoned Out of Bounds by the Canadian Military so there is no training or defense research conducted on it.

Already there are more then 1000 gas wells inside the preserve. Encana Corp has proposed and 1016 wells and over 200 km of pipeline to be constructed. This would increase the well densities of some areas to over 16 wells per square mile. Already the current wells have a cause a decrease in wildlife and in the increase in noxius weeds. As well there are many First Nations Historical sights at risk with this project. Encana has a history of improper waste disposal and is already before the courst for 'allegedly' builidng 40 km of pipeline in this area without permission.

Enough is enough. When are we going to stop letting the Oil companies and our greed and laziness destroy this planet?

Write the Suffield Review Board with your comments/concerns/criticisms at comments@suffieldreview.ca.
The final say rests with the Environment Minister of Canada (1-613-996-0984) and the Prime Minister of Canada who can be reached at pm@pm.gc.ca
You can contact the CEO of EnCana Corp, Randy Eresman at 403-645-2000.

Здесь забытый давно наш родительский кров.
И, услышав порой голос предков зовущий,
Серой птицей лесной из далёких веков
Я к тебе прилетаю, Беловежская пуща.
Here is our long-forgotten family home.
And, having heard now and then the voice of ancestors calling,
Like a grey little forest bird, from far-away centuries,
I fly to you, Belovezhskaya Pushcha.

Its Time

As two pivotal elections approach my global brain has been kicked into high gear. I've managed to mostly squash the "i told you so's" (not completely, but hey! a girl has to have her fun sometimes). It's got me thinking, As we spin towards our future all I can see are a muddled mass of destruction. Its time for us to evolve past our pettiness that has dominated humanity since its conception. Whether your an evolustionist of creationist you can agree that as a group we've been doing a pretty terrible job of managing ourselves so far. What with the child soldiers, environmental destruction, intollerance and nuclear bombs that we daily have to confront.

There is a foret in Poland, the Belovezhskaya Pushcha which is a virgin forest. Somehow and with much luck its managed to survive the centuries relatively untouched. Now it is threatened by developers much as the great Alaskan boreal forests are threatened by Governer Palin's pipe line. Its time we as a people stand up against this monstrous actions taken on out behalf. Not as Canadian's , Russian's, Iraqis, British, Afghans, Americans or any other nationality but as global citizens. Never before in history has this planet been so hopelessly interconnected. What should be a wonderful, eye-opening, uniting experience has been the opposite. We still function in an us versus them mentality and I for one am tired.

Its time for a change, not just in politics but everywhere. Its time we shift our level of consciousness away from the selfish mundane ideas that we daily slog through too one of enlightened connectivity between all members of humanity and nature.

Its time for the human race to grow up.
