It’s not every day you get a self-described โ€œoutlaw hip-hop harmonica playerโ€ and โ€œbeatbox poetโ€ waging a war of words against the masterminds behind the tar sands, oil pipelines and super tankers. But then CR Avery doesn’t just live in the everyย day.

If anything CR Avery is living in the all-too present day of climate disruption, where citizens, students, grannies and punks are uniting against the companies with a vested interest in maintaining the fossil fuel status quo. Enbridge and Kinder Morgan – two companies planning on building new pipelines in B.C. to transport tar sands crude to the Canadian coast – are two of this poet’s chosen targets. The risks they pose to neighbourhoods, natural systems and the climate add fuel to the spoken-wordย fire.

Beautifully crafted and masterfully-filmed by Ethan Miller, this 5 minute short will bring a little passion and clarity back to theย cause.

Or as CR says, โ€œWith big oil manipulating government’s decisions lays firm cause to pause for furtherย inspectionโ€ฆโ€
