Piercing screams of “Shame! Shame!” drowned out applause as Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney took the stage at a speaking event in Surrey.
1. Information on the 3rd Annual Unis’tot’en Action Camp
2. Special Invitation to Indigenous Land Defenders
3. Travel Information from Vancouver and Victoria
The 3rd Annual Unis’tot’en Action Camp will see a lot of activities around building solidarity and campaign and action planning for communities who will stop the proposed and approved pipelines and mining projects that are unwelcome in the north of Unceded Occupied so called bc and canada.
The camp dates are August 6 – 10, 2012. The camp location is at 66km on the Morice River West FSR and is at the shore of the Wedzin Kwah and mouth of the Gosnell Creek. These are all tributary to the the Skeena, Bulkley, and Babine Rivers. The proposed pipelines from Northern Gateway, Kitimat Summit Lake Looping Project, and the Pembina and Kinder Morgan Pipelines seek to cross the rivers at the exact point where the resistance camp is built in Unis’tot’en Territory of Talbits Kwah.

Unprecedented events being organized in 10 cities across the country
Health care workers united in opposition to planned reductions in health care coverage for refugees are holding a national day of action in hopes of persuading the federal government to reverse course. Physicians, nurses, community health workers and many others from a number of different professional health disciplines will be participating in demonstrations in 10 cities from coast to coast on Monday, June 18th. The health care workers are deeply concerned that the changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) scheduled to take effect June 30, 2012 will lead to poorer health outcomes for some of the most vulnerable members of society, increase health care costs and threaten public safety.
