Indigenous

Indigenous nations have protected the earth on their territories for thousands of years. With the government of Canada ignoring their sovereignty, nations not only see massive theft of resources that could help alleviate social problems, but their exacerbation through their further alienation from their own lands, often accompanying being overrun by development and southern workers, while having no self-determination during this process. In the south of Canada industrial farming displaced many nations with often genocidal results. In the north, a modern equivalent of that fate is only just beginning, wrought on by industrial oil and gas drilling schemes (among many industrial plans) that are condemning entire societies, languages and cultures to a precarious future, becoming minorities in their lands for the first time.

Enbridge spells DEFENCE

Energy:

Enbridge Inc. is a good bet for those investors seeking refuge from beaten down markets of now.

At least, that's the conclusion set forth by two analysts, following Enbridge's Investor Day in Toronto on Tuesday.

"Enbridge made a strong case for its investment merits in today’s market, including a low risk profile, manageable capital requirements, and compelling earnings growth over the next 4-5 years," Grant Hofer of UBS said in a research note, reiterating his "buy" rating and $50 price target.

No pipelines to China: Harper out of touch - Energy union president addresses Munk Centre

TORONTO, Oct. 8 /CNW Telbec/ - Stephen Harper has completely misled
Canadians with his comments about the oil industry last week in Calgary and
again during the leaders' debate.
Mr. Harper said that to enforce greenhouse gas reduction, Canada must
prohibit the export of bitumen to any country with lesser targets, such as
China.
"There are no pipelines to China, and no oil exports to China," says the

Indian blockades slow work on crude pipeline
October 02, 2008

Enbridge Inc. says Indian blockades in Saskatchewan have forced the
company to halt most construction on its $3 billion Alberta Clipper
pipeline project.

The pipeline will carry 450,000 barrels of oil-sands crude from
Hardisty, Alta, to Superior, Wis., in two locations: just outside the
provincial capital of Regina and near Kerrobert, in western
Saskatchewan.

"These demonstrations have restricted access to our heavy equipment
