The people who piss and moan about "welfare bums" generally don't actively prevent folks from actually earning a living

I'm not sure that 'pissing and moaning' is quite the correct terminology. I can sympathise with people who have worked all their life without collecting E.I. or welfare or Workman's Comp being concerned about people looking for handouts who refuse to work. There's probably an equal number who are on a payroll and only do the minimum amount of work they can get away with. But then the Unions have to take some responsibility for that. There's just so many 'legitimate' ways to get time off work these days.

Isn't it really you that is protesting hypocrites?

The pipeline is just an inanimate object.

SOrt of. We are protesting the hypocracy of the US financed anti work crowd.

Despite What Politicians Say, Hundreds of BC Gas Wells Leak Methane

When B.C.’s Oil and Gas Commission identified significant methane leaks from hundreds of gas wells in 2013, the energy regulator withheld that information from BC Liberal politicians.

Members of the former Christy Clark government wrongly claimed that B.C. wells didn’t leak and that the province’s shale gas industry was “clean.”

The report, which looked only at the Jean Marie formation north of Fort Nelson, concluded that “there may be as many as 235 instances of visible gas migration and 900 total instances of gas migration in the north zone of B.C.”

Gas migration, a chronic and costly liability in the oil and gas industry and the subject of major petroleum textbooks, refers to steady or intermittent gas leaks that can be caused by the drilling, fracking or even cementing of wellbores which create pathways for leakage to the surface.

The leaking methane can travel along fractures or faults into soils, the atmosphere or aquifers which can absorb the gas and carry the contaminated water off to other areas.

(One recent study confirmed that methane leaks from shale gas wells can travel great distances in aquifers and that regulators aren’t doing enough to monitor the risks to climate change or water.)

The 2013 commission report also admitted that the agency did not have “access to good research related to the effect of gas migration on aquifers in order to inform decision-making”— a deficit that, say critics, the commission has yet to correct.

Leakage rates from well sites can be so prolific that they make the impact of methane drilling and fracking as dirty as mining coal in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.

"The scale of the leakage from BC’s 26,000 oil and gas wells is immense, poorly quantified and highly under-reported. It has implications for the shale gas industry as well as for repeated claims made by LNG proponents, including the current NDP government, that methane from northeastern B.C. is “clean.”

The commission has an incomplete picture on well leakage. The industry wasn’t required to report leaks until 1995 and only then prior to abandonment of a well."

Yet the current NDP/Green gov has failed to act on capping abandoned and orphan wells and Horgan is in support of the new LNG line.

Don't believe anything in tyee news. Yellow journalism at it's finest.Also the propaganda machine for the extreme left.

So, how do you get your information? Though I admit, you show little sign of being affected in any way by facts, so maybe you just don't.

I read lots.But I know which publications to avoid. Tyee news is about polar opposite of Rebel News.

What sign will these people be holding next sunny day? DO they get docked pay if they take the wrong sign to a protest?

Wage whores don't care if people get sick or die from their works as long as they get paid. They don't care if other people lose their livelihood, or that whole eco systems are destroyed and wild life go extinct just as long as they can have their toys.
Wagewhore doesn't care about anybody but himself and he will badmouth anybody who stands for what is right, as long as he gets his paycheque.

Leaving the Earth in better shape than what we found. I'm sorry JLM, our generation has caused more extinctions, more environmental damage, killed and wounded more people, created more refugees and generally created hell on Earth. And people wonder why our children are depressed and despondent. They have no future, will never own their own home, will never know clean air or water, will have nothing but minimum wage jobs. And we accuse them of have no ambition. Our generation has fukked up royally. Some people are fighting to save what is left of our Earth and all they get is "send in the army and lock them up". It is fukking insane.
