Enbridge & Fighting Cancer

I am an avid cyclist.  I also fancy myself pretty environmentally-minded.  I'm aware that Enbridge has been successfully sued recently (for a paltry token amount of a fine that is far less than the costs related to cleaning up a spill) and I'm aware that they have had up to 600 spills in the LAST YEAR alone!
I'm am sick of the bare-faced propaganda on all of the TV networks; first about how wonderful the trans-BC pipeline will be and second The Ride to Conquer Cancer.  I wouldn't ride in that ride for all of the marbles in China (does China have marbles?!).
I hope you get my simple point:  Enbridge (and anybody who supports them) = BAD.  VERY bad.
Short-sighted, biased decisions by government to fast-track and circumvent environmental rules BAD.
I was so glad to learn that ALL BC First Nations voted against the pipeline and against tankers off the coast of Haida Gwaii.
