KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – Following a well-attended rally in Halifax on Tuesday this week, the Campaign to Protect Offshore Nova Scotia (CPONS) hosted a packed house for a public panel in Mahone Bay on Wednesday night. Protesters, signs in hand, also formed a kayak flotilla in Mahone Bay on Thursday morning.
Concerns around BP’s offshore presence include the lack of public consultation and BP’s failure to prepare for an eventual spill, especially the lack of a nearby capping stack, given the potential large scale damage of such a disaster to the environment and the province’s fisheries and tourism industries. #nspoli
