Rabble.ca -- Enbridge finds no love in Northwest B.C. communities in February
,February 18th, 2011
Excerpted from Rabble.ca:
Despite such official statements taking responsibility, some observers note that the demeanor of Enbridge lawyers in court suggest a desire to minimize the company's responsibility and legal liability. "When the spill is in the media spotlight, oil companies will promise the world," said Nikki Skuce, a ForestEthics campaigner. "As soon as costs start mounting and the spotlight begins to dim, they put the onus on stressed out, vulnerable residents to prove their liability." Thus, a debate about responsibility for spills endures.
