He is interviewed by Deborah Campbell (Deborah Campbell is the author of This Heated Place. She has written widely on international politics, and teaches in UBCs Creative Writing and Journalism graduate programs. prior to his seminar). His ending note quote: Until then, we remain a Third World nation run by greedy white people with a debased democracy where everyone thinks the only job of government is to reduce their taxes by exporting more raw commodities. But if you are not being taxed, you wont be represented. The only people being well represented in Ottawa these days are corporations. We all know the names: Enbridge, TransCanada, Kinder Morgan and Exxon Mobil. None are citizens. They have other masters. unquote thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2013/11/21/Nikiforuk-Big-Energy-Invu/?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=211113
