Support of a friend

Why do I support, and encourage everyone to support my friend Eli and his project?

The answer is very simple. It takes about 10 years to become professional in any field; professional, in a sense of knowing the field of your involvement inside out. You see, there are some areas of our active Canadian life of which we all have to be aware: political landscape, introduction of new and changes to already existing laws, level of democracy, as well as the state of our environment - environment we will be passing on to our children. We all must be aware of the issues affecting our present and future times but, due to our devotion to unrelated activities of choice, we may not always be aware of dramatic changes happening in our own backyards. For this very reason we cast our votes to elect political leaders we trust will protect our freedoms and better our lives. For that very reason we look to appoint professionals to handle the tasks of outmost complexities in various other areas of our collective Canadian being. And for that very reason, I trust my dear friend Eli will act as a professional in defending our nature from ultimate distraction by greedy corporations whose only purpose is to become richer.  

Eli is a professional you want to have on your side, for his PhD in biology, years of living in and studying the problems of the Northern indigenous communities and the artificially induced decay of their lands, and his passionate and long lasting stand on keeping our Canadian home strong and healthy for future generations, are exactly the kind of qualities one needs to be a delegate of the people. 

Eli is starting a new phase of his project, which, I believe, would make a big difference in collecting and presenting the evidence of distraction induced by corporations to OUR land. Without such evidence, it would be impossible to argue unsubstantiated claims made by the government and to prove the wrongdoing by the corporations. 

As you could probably notice, I am not very much familiar with the intimate details of everything that goes on in Athabasca River watershed. The main point of this letter, though, is to say that Eli, whom I had a pleasure meeting in the North few years ago, is a trustworthy, honest, and, most importantly, devoted professional, whose sole objective is to keep our homeland, wherever it may be, free from pollution and ready to welcome the future generations of Canadians. I support Eli in his fight for OUR home’s wellbeing and ask anyone who can lend a hand to actually do so.
