Save Our Rivers Society is pleased to present this five minute interview - at the public Brilliant Dam in the Kootenays - with one of BC's most engaging political figures - veteran Kootenay NDP MLA Corky Evans.  As he steps down from the Nelson-Creston seat he has held for three election terms, Evans reflects on threats to the public trust and the very social fabric of his beloved province from the Gordon Campbell government.  Discussing our rivers, forests, democracy, and heritage, Evans shares some important thoughts on the grave challenges we face today - telling it like it is in a way only he can.

"If you want to understand the BC Liberals, you kind have to understand people with no loyalty to a territory - just a loyalty to an ideology that is a market idea.

"It is simply a lie that we're short of power, it's a lie that these are green projects that the Liberals are selling, and it's a lie that it's good for the people." - Corky Evans
