Preliminary Research

When starting this research I really tried to look at and understand both sides of the argument. However a quick search revealed an overwhelming number of articles against the Northern Gateway Pipeline. Either the pipeline is a really, REALLY, bad idea, or its something that everyone loves to hate, or I suck at research. .__."

Since we are going to be exhibit in the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, I feel that it would be more fitting to focus on the environmental impact of the Pipeline. Also, the environment seems to be more relate-able to a general audience and a better entry point instead of a something like Aboriginal Territories.

Also, while I do not know how this might work yet, I think it would be interesting if we were to create an interactive project.

A REALLY long article about the impacts of crude oil on the Eulachon fish.

While the credibility of this article is suspicious (see comments), the article brings up one interesting stance on the pipeline where it argues that we should be investing in clean, renewable energy instead of oil.

Interestingly, Alberta seems to support the pipeline while British Columbia does not. (At least, that seems to be the case from this article.)
