true meaning of St. Patrick's Day

Chris,

With a name like Bailey, you can guess I’ve got a little Irish in me. So it’s no surprise I'm in the St Patrick’s Day spirit today. But not because I enjoy drinking green beer and singing an Irish ditty.

I’m celebrating St. Pat because the legends hold that he drove the snakes out of Ireland. And I know you and I need that same strength today because B.C. is threatened by a different and more deadly kind of vile, dangerous snake: oil and gas pipelines.

That’s right. Saint Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland and you can chip in $20, $50 or more to drive Enbridge and Coastal GasLink out of B.C.

It’ll take committed people like you and a little luck of the Irish to win this fight. Big Oil and the fracking industry are powerful adversaries in the fight to defend B.C.

But our province has more than a few lucky shamrocks. We’ve come together before to send Enbridge and Kinder Morgan packing. And with your help, we can do it again.

Fend off Enbridge, Trans Mountain and Coastal GasLink with a gift today. Any amount you can afford would help. 

Big Oil has been digging their hands in a taxpayer-funded pot of gold for long enough, taking money that otherwise could be spent on healthcare, housing, and a transition to renewable energy. That kind of malarkey really riles up my inner leprechaun.

So stand with me today. Paint the whole province green and drive those pipelines out of B.C. by chipping in $20, $50, $100 or whatever you can spare right now. And in return I’ll raise a green pint and drink to your health all year.

Slainte,

P.S. All jokes aside, B.C. is in the fight of its life right now. Fossil fuel companies won’t stop exploiting this province unless we make it impossible for them to continue. Show Big Oil you remember the true meaning of St Patrick’s Day and drive the pipelines out of B.C. with a gift of $20, $50, or whatever you can spare.
