That was a beautiful and thought provoking video. You had to cheapen it by making it about Enbridge. Red Crow died before the Enbridge pipeline was on anyones radar. I do not believe his wise words were ever intended to be a cherry pick application, Enbridge or otherwise. His words are a philosophy of coexistence and respect between nations. Even he recognized that economic development was not all bad and in fact lifted many out of poverty including First Nations. His message was one of mutual respect as well as mutual advancement. And please remember his words....."Our ways need respect, just like yours".
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

To answer the question - probably nothing.

At the most, be very angry about it on Internet and still do nothing.
Sarcasm is like a good game of chess. Most people don't know how to play chess.

The realization of a pipeline to transport dilbit across our province to be transported by tankers is still a long, long way from becoming a reality - and given the much better options for resource development and export that exist to be explored and considered that would provide real long term economic growth and benefit to Canadians (with less risk), that's a good thing.

Northern Gateway pipeline unlikely to start up by 2018

Enbridge are still touting the 26 First nations groups that have signed on. That number hasn't changed in two years, and is mostly groups in Alberta.

I will vote for any federal party that does not support Harper's NEP. If Harper is gone - so is the Northern gateway pipeline.

And yes, Harper has brought in his own NEP. Its main feature is the tenet that whatever Alberta and Big Oil want is good, and if you don't like it - politely put...go fish!

Notice that Harper spends more time in Nunavut and the NWT than he does in Atlantic Canada, or Ontario (except for the Ottawa alternate reality zone), or Quebec, or BC... why? Cause he and big oil see natural gas and oil up there. He is not interested in the rest of Canada.
The middle path - everything in moderation, and everything in its time and order.
