Why is this man smiling? 

Enbridge Inc. will be bribing offering First Nations along its proposed Northern Gateway project hundreds of millions of dollars to agree to the controversial oilsands pipeline, the company said.

Under the pipeline giant's offer, First Nations and Metis communities along the $5.5-billion project would receive approximately $380 million in income over three decades.

Most of the tribes aren't biting. "We're not interest in the package, regardless of what they are offering," said Terry Teegee, vice chief with the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council. "Our community members have already stated it's not worth the risk of not if but when the pipeline breaks.

Nearly 7 months after an Enbridge oil pipeline blew out and spilled 843,000 gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo river the clean up continues.

Now Enbridge says they're not responsible for the spill.

Despite public promises to compensate residents for losses associated with the oil spill, Enbridge is arguing that it is not legally liable for damages from the spill.
