An evening of music, films and climate justice: Fracking the Peace and Invasion

with music by Shades Lawrence

Vendredi 3 juin 2022, de 20h30 à 22h

Amenez vos ami.e.s et de quoi vous asseoir.

Friday June 3 2022, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Bring your friends and a lawn chair or blanket.

Come by at 8:30 - Do not miss Shades Lawrence, whose alternative hip hop is known for its message of environmental justice and respect for Indigenous peoples.

Learn about how fracking/pipelines/LNG affect communities in the northeast of so-called British Columbia, through Wet’suwet’en territory, to the coast to a proposed mega-terminal for exporting methane overseas. The films will be projected on the wall of Place Ville-Marie, home to RBC, lead financier of the Coastal GasLink pipeline which threatens land and water, and the Wet’suwet’en whose leaders have never given consent for this project to cross their territories.

There is no cost to attend. For those who are in a position to contribute, we’ll pass a hat and 100% of proceeds will go to Indigenous land defenders and water protectors.

Rendez-vous à 20h30 - ne ratez pas Shades Lawrence, dont le hip hop alternatif est connu pour ses paroles de justice environnementale et de respect pour les peuples autochtones.

Découvrez comment la fracturation hydraulique / les pipelines / le GNL touchent les communautés du nord-est de ce qu’on appelle la Colombie-Britannique, passent à travers le territoire Wet’suwet’en et vont jusqu’à la côte vers un terminal gigantesque proposé pour l’exportation du méthane à l’étranger. Les films seront projetés sur le mur de la place Ville-Marie, maison mère de la RBC au Québec. La RBC est le financier principal du gazoduc Coastal GasLink qui menace l’eau et la terre, et menace aussi les Wet’suwet’en dont les dirigeant.e.s n’ont jamais consenti à la construction de ce projet sur leur territoire.

L’évènement est gratuit. Pour celles.eux qui le peuvent, nous proposons de faire un don qui serait reversé à 100% au defenseur.e.s autochtones de la terre et de l’eau.

Fracking the Peace (8:00 p.m. – 35 min.)

Fracking the Peace follows community members living on Treaty 8 territory in Northeastern B.C. as they tell the story of how fracking has impacted their lives. Home to the majestic Peace River, this region has been ravaged by more than 25,000 fracking wells threatening livelihoods, physical and mental health, and the very water that sustains the life and spirit of these communities. Fracking the Peace paints a picture of how fracking development in B.C. has been allowed to skyrocket at the expense of the health and safety of watersheds, communities, and the rich agricultural landscape they called home.

Fracking the Peace was created by filmmaker Desiree Wallace, in partnership with Stand.earth

Fracking the Peace (20h – 35 min.)

(ce film est en anglais)

Fracking the Peace suit les membres de la communauté vivant sur le territoire du Traité no 8, dans le nord-est de la Colombie-Britannique. Iels racontent comment iels ont été touché.e.s par la fracturation hydraulique. La majestueuse rivière de la Paix traverse cette région dévastée par plus de 25 000 puits de fracturation hydraulique menaçant leur subsistance, leur santé physique et mentale, et l’eau même qui nourrit la vie et l’âme de ces communautés. Fracking the Peace décrit comment le développement de la fracturation hydraulique en Colombie-Britannique a pu monter en flèche au prix de la destruction de la santé et de la sécurité de bassins hydrologiques, de communautés et du riche paysage agricole où elles se situent.

Invasion (9:35 p.m. – 18 min.)

In this era of “reconciliation”, Indigenous land is still being taken at gunpoint. INVASION is a new film about the Unist’ot’en Camp, Gidimt’en checkpoint and the larger Wet’suwet’en Nation standing up to the Canadian government and corporations who continue colonial violence against Indigenous people.

The Unist’ot’en Camp has been a beacon of resistance for nearly 10 years. It is a healing space for Indigenous people and settlers alike, and an active example of decolonization. The violence, environmental destruction, and disregard for human rights following TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) / Coastal GasLink’s interim injunction has been devastating to bear, but this fight is far from over.

Invasion (21h35 – 18 min.)

(ce film est en anglais)

En cette époque de « réconciliation », les territoires autochtones ne cessent d’être saisis de force. Le nouveau film INVASION porte sur la résistance du campement Unist’ot’en, au point d’accès Gidimt’en et de l’ensemble de la nation Wet’suwet’en contre la violence coloniale du gouvernement canadien et des grandes entreprises contre les peuples autochtones.

Depuis près de dix ans, le campement Unist’ot’en joue un rôle phare dans la résistance. Il représente un espace de guérison pour les personnes autochtones comme pour les colonisatrice.teur.s, ainsi qu’un exemple vivant de décolonisation. L’injonction temporaire de TC Energy (anciennement TransCanada) / Coastal GasLink a été dévastatrice du fait de la violence, des dommages environnementaux et du mépris des droits humains qui en ont découlé. Cela dit, cette lutte est loin d’être terminée.

“Tiny House”

by Shades Lawrence

Remember me, mother of freedom,

Queen dun know that one leads

we don’t know that upkeep

stewarding while the sun sleeps

clean that dump heap

trash in the oceans don’t run deep

Get a boat man, go recycle

The only hope stands, on a unicycle

Pipelines not allowed underground, rivers or lakes

As forest sway, fires replay, we are the state

signs say, temp too hot

we got got by the rumors, steps are not

hard to see, fossil fuel industry

needs to stop, rules we need

no guidelines, get up to speed

hard to breathe, we all agree

Justice no doubt

Say it loud

Justice, right now

A tiny house

There’s Fairy Creek and Line 3,

Scaring me, no planet B

Planting trees

Land defenders standing free

Water protectors, my heart beats

forest fires, we can only start seeds

heat waves, above and, the sun beats.

the made, above and, the sun leads

Land defenders, honour them nth degree

Thank you from the future that breathes

Cariboo with needs, staring at me for weeks

continents, harbor tankers that leak

the ocean that speaks, no justice, no peace.

no ruptures, no leaks, pipelines that need

recycling, in the best way

rights are named, stay West and ...

Justice no doubt

Say it loud

Justice, right now

A tiny house

Free, prior, and informed consent

the land worth more than all amounts of red cents

The courts finesse, pipelines are fleeting

this planet no sequel, who you know leading

First Peoples, no pipelines, land is unceded

the stands are for keeping, not for us, they for leaving

old growth, I got more hope

more folks care about this planet, for sure

shorelines, don’t erode

The wheel, is for spokes

who colonized, the deal is get woke

write futures. Speak with humour

Chained to trees just a few ones

years ago, fight the tumour

The cancer, the hubris, the stance is for cougars.

The dance is for movement, this song is for a tiny house

This is what the people about

Say it loud, justice right now

A tiny house

Justice right now, a tiny house

This what the people about

Say it loud, justice right now

A tiny house

Justice right now, a tiny house

“Justice”

by Shades Lawrence

Justice

Justice

Speak to me, about justice

Teach me, not, bout hundreds

Teach me, not, bout hundreds

Speak to me, about justice

There’s nothin doing, there’s something in the water

There’s something done wronger, pipelines

There’s nothin, try farther, sightlines

There’s nothin doin, the right time is beyond us

End up tryin harder, …to the right, signs are on us

This might rhyme with barter

The history is dear to me, treaties so near to me, underfeet

Under deep, more than streets, named in the honour, of peoples with some other needs

The TRC

TRC, UNDRIP needs to be rectified

Respected, wise, why, tell me why’s the PM guise

In the form of white men, disguised as white pens

Two pence, backup, the treaties stand in

For courts, Supreme when

Indigenous governance, been around

Before my ancestors been done did seen a white pen

White (out), keep the history, the TRC

UNDRIP rectified, hear, don’t listen to me

Speak to me, about justice

Teach me, not, bout hundreds

Teach me, not, bout hundreds

Speak to me, about justice

There’s nothing doin, nothin foolish

There’s nothin in the water, there’s nothin foolish

When there’s somethin under darkness

Try me, rest, never bet, on peoples smarter

UNDRIP needs to be rectified, step in time

Let me cry, as clearcuts exposed

My tears a no-go, until the no-show, try to

Told those, no foes, we all in the same boat

Boat floats, try the hope, COP26, bold

Starts from grassroots, land-based, stands do

Need to stand true, let the firs stand, truth

So the birds land, too, the first land

Who? The words land true

Hold the youth, right now the youth hold you

#FridaysForFuture, the youth spoke

Speak, few, LEAP, the Green New Deal

Keep going, Basic Income keep going, you or I, rivers flowing

WedzinKwa no token, get to the land, both ways
