The first responders might have been on site quickly but where is the World Class spill responce. From what I can see from the video they are just observing.yikes! just glad the barge was not full of fuel as well. Could have been a hell of a lot worse.... not that what happened is not terrible in and of itself. Certainly will have ramifications and will be interested to see what those are in days and weeks ahead. Glad nobody was injured and once again good to see the local first responders on site quickly.
My understanding is that as far as response goes - you have to go through training provided by the 3rd party response company (a subsidiary of the oil companies and funded by them) Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (used to be called Burrard "Clean") - and have a cleanable (i.e. aluminum) hulled boat.The first responders might have been on site quickly but where is the World Class spill responce.

it will always be about financial compensation... once enough monies are paid to the bands,, its on.
