Today we were radicals and joined in with fellow protesters at the Comox 'Our Coast, Our Decision' rally against the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline :)
There was an amazing turnout with people coming in by the bus loads from all ends of the island, Vancouver, Powell River, Quadra and so many more.
We had a great time cheering and singing, listening to the speakers and checking out all the fun signs people brought.
One very special speaker was 11 year old Ta'Kaiya Blaney who is Sliammon First Nation. She created the song Shallow Waters in the youtube video below last year to bring about more awareness to the pipeline and you've got to listen to it. It's really good! I didn't know that she was going to be speaking but I'm glad that my son who is only two years older got to hear her speach as she is such an inspiration that being so young she is accomplishing and doing such amazing things.
I'll leave you with one last video tonight of all of us singing along today with Tina Filliponi :)
PS. if you are reading this via email you will probably have to hop over to my blog to see the youtube videos.
Hugs,
