Dear reader,
In just four days, 41 of you have stepped forward and given $2,261 to pay for an independent public opinion survey on the Site C dam — thank you!
Today is our deadline to raise $5,000.
Thankfully, a very generous donor has come forward and offered to match all gifts given today — that means if you give $25, we’ll get $50, if you give $50, we’ll get $100. You get the idea!
Can you give $25 or $50 today to combat BC Hydro's misleading polling on Site C?
BC Hydro’s polling is frequently pointed to as a sign of support for the dam, but it misleads respondents about power demand and alternatives.
New polling is desperately needed to counter BC Hydro’s misinformation, but we need to raise $5,000 by the end of today to make it happen.
If just 27 more people give $50 right now, we'll reach our goal.
Remember, if you give $50, it’ll be matched, turning it into $100 to pay for the survey.
While Premier Christy Clark is loudly promoting the dam, BC Hydro has quietly instructed families living in the Peace Valley to vacate their homes.
This is so urgent that we’ve taken a leap of faith and already sent the survey into the field — and we can tell you: the results are going to be a game-changer.
With construction advancing by the day, we want to release this new polling to the media within two weeks — but we can’t do it until we’ve raised the money.
While traditional news outlets once commissioned their own polls, it’s a rarity these days. Somebody needs to step up and fill the gap.r0
