Environmental Law Centre Society is a bit of a joke on the public, to me its a bit deceitful to call yourself a society, then take funding as a donation to the University of Victoria in order to get a tax deduction for your donation. Like many other organizations this one is also listed as a partner to the Friends of Wild Salmon
They claim “the Environmental Law Centre will continue its work bringing legal and scientific expertise to those who need it, empowering citizens to protect and improve the environments on which they depend, and training the next generation of dedicated public-interest lawyers.”
The truth is they back every Eco-radical organization in trying to halt all industrial growth in BC. In loose translation when they support the Friends of Wild Salmon they are in fact indirectly working towards trying to halt the CGL pipeline, even though the project has 100% goverment support.
The following is quoted directly from their website, a sort of says it all list.
Operating under the supervision of senior environmental lawyers, clinic students provide legal assistance to community organizations, conservation groups and First Nations.

We Need a Law – That governs Vote Manipulation.
Ethical rules of conduct by all organizations, media outlets and websites that are funded, and or, to influence the voters and financed by any sources outside of its board of directors on both elected and non-elected organizations. Any organization that uses public education, advocacy, protest, negotiation and non-violent direct action tactics or pays others, to achieve its goals using any money other than personal funds should be required to have an official audit, all funding received or distributed must be accounted for and that information must be public.
Contrary to leftists claims that environmentalist support is a gauge of public support, this is a outright lie, almost all support is obtained by way of funding misleading and false advertisements and organized staged protests by paid protestors
Hiding funds coming in and or being disbursed must be considered fraud.
