Rivers Without Borders
| The Golden Rule is that whoever holds the wealth or financial power dictates how things are done. So follow the money to find out who is deciding the agenda. There are two primary factors involved, who are they getting funding from and who they are funding. |

They are NOT listed as a Canadian charity.
This group was noted to sending funding to a local Eco-radical group.
NOTE: This group financial interfere by sending money to Canadian Eco-radicals.
They are comprised of both Canadian and Americans. They cover mostly the river systems of northern BC and Alaska, in particular Alsek-Tatshenshini, Chilkat, Taku, Whiting, Iskut-Stikine, and Unuk. We have nothing notable to report other than their allegiance with other radical organizations. To get funding from the Tides Foundation, there are dangerous prerequisites that must be adhered to, for this reason alone there is reason to be concerned. One major issue of concern is that this organization may be just another anti mining lobby, and that they will target any new mining projects particularly on the BC side as they have already mined the Alaskan side of the panhandle.
Tides Canada has now renamed itself to MakeWay.
