Yesterday, a couple dozen of people walked slowly up Burnaby Mountain behind 74-year-old Della Glendenning, a woman whose worst offence up until then, as she said, had been a library fine. What drove her to that point? Why are others doing the same? Scientists, authors, grandmothers and children are all making that walk up the mountain day after day. If we can find a common theme in their statements and interviews, it’s that right now this is the most powerful way to register how they feel about the Kinder Morgan proposal. Public hearings are no longer part of Ottawa’s pipeline approval process. Oral comments and questions are gone. Free speech outside the review is threatened by Kinder Morgan’s abusive lawsuits. So every day, a few more citizens are choosing to make a different kind of statement.
