> HARRIS SELECTS P.C. PARTY PRESIDENT TO BE
> NEW ENVIRONMENT COMMISSIONER
>
> As Ontario continues to get out of the business of protecting the
> environment, one of the last road blocks was the independent
> Environmental Bill of Rights Commission Office. Previously
> run by Commissioner, Eva Legeti, who was the first Commissioner
> appointed a number of years ago, the Bill of Rights Office critiqued
> some of the poor environmental measures taken by both the previous
> NDP and Tory Ontario Governments. However, the P.C. government led
> by Premier Mike Harris, has set out to reduce environmental protection
> in Ontario. He has cut the environment and natural resources conservation
> budgets, both, by more than 40%, one of the largest environment budget
> cuts amongst the 61 states and provinces in North America. He has cut
> the number of environmental regulations by 50%. He has stopped the annual
> point source direct discharge reports to Ontario's waterways, including
> the Great Lakes. He has stopped the annual reports of the Ontario
> Ministry of the Environment's (MOE) reports on enforcement efforts
> and fines imposed on polluters. The only real check on the wholesale
> race from environmental protection has been the independent Environment
> Commissioner.
>
> That is about to change. Mike Harris would like to invite his golfing
> friend and President of the Federal P.C. riding association in Mr.
> Harris' home town as the next Environment Commissioner. The
> nominee is Gordon Miller. His primary credentials are that he ran
> twice for the Conservatives and was not elected, and that he will do
> whatever the Conservative Ontario government asks. For example,
> like stop reporting on Ontario's environmental backslide. Or, stop
> bugging the Ontario Government in the Commissioner's annual
> report about not enforcing its own environmental laws.
>
> The Opposition NDP and Liberal Parties have commented on the
> campaign donations he received from mining, logging and waste
> disposal interests. NDP Leader Howard Hampton urged Harris to revoke
> the nomination and send the matter back to committee to choose another
> Environmental Commissioner. Marilyn Churley, the NDP environmental
> critic began the debate for the NDP by expressing her dismay and
> disappointment at the government for attempting to appoint a partisan
> individual such as Gordon Miller. "As a long time environmental activist
> I am outraged and disgusted that someone with so much political baggage
> would be put forward by this government as a suitable environmental
> commissioner," stated Churley. For more information, please call Robin

> PAUL WATSON, CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTALIST JAILED
>
> Paul Watson, a founding member of Greenpeace in 1972, and currently
> Founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, was
> sent to the Newfoundland Penitentiary in St. John's, Newfoundland for
> 30 days starting in November 1999. He was charged by the federal
> Dept of Fisheries and Oceans for harassing and obstructing Cuban and
> Spanish drag trawl fishing operations on the Tail of the Grand Banks in
> 1993. The ships, ignoring international conservation measures and
> ignoring Canadian efforts to save the last of the commercial harvest
> on the Grand Banks, were over fishing the depleted supplies. Canada
> was unsuccessful in diplomatic efforts to stop the massive international
> fishing efforts. So Paul Watson stepped in. He drew international
> attention to the issue when he tried to cut the fishing nets of the
> international "fish pirates". Instead of being praised by Canada, he
> was charged with offenses. Canada, instead of charging the over
> fishing, charged the conservationist.
>
> In 1995, Watson was acquitted of two charges of mischief endangering
> life and was convicted of aiding and abetting an act of mischief. The
> mischief charge relates to Watson's action of placing  his ship, the
> Cleveland Amory, in a position for a crew member to toss a stink bomb
> onto the trawl deck of the Cuban dragger Rio Los Casas. The Canadian
> prosecutor argued for a sixmonth sentence and Watson appealed for the
> dismissal of the sentence. Both appeals were denied. The Appeals Court
> cited that Watson did not show any remorse for harassing the Cubans and
> did not apologize to Cuba for his actions. Source U.S. Environmental

> vast areas of northern Alberta  about 12% of the total area of the

industry
> is poised to massively expand the scale and extent of industrial activity

>
> Given the critical economic, social, and environmental importance of
> the boreal forest to Alberta, the Oilsands Environmental Coalition
> (OSEC) led by the Pembina Institute, has asked that the Alberta Energy
> Utilities Board (EUB) impose a moratorium on any insitu development.
> The group says that this moratorium should remain in place until,

>           widespread insitu development on the boreal forest (considering
>           also many other forest uses, including intensive forestry
