*IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM: Nina Waste / Idle No More! When u have time, or if u can make some time, plz read and act accordingly if u do not want ur homelands and waters ravaged and put at great risk Next month, TransCanada is expected to officially submit its monster Energy East tar sands pipeline to the National Energy Board (NEB). This giant project would stretch 4,000 km from Alberta to the Atlantic, making it the longest tar sands pipeline to be built in Canada. Prime Minister Harper has been doing everything in his power to fast-track tar sands development -- including cutting out communities and scientific climate research from the pipeline review process. Stopping Energy East before it begins, starts with a review that includes everyone, and is grounded in science. Can you add your name to our peoples intervention calling for a fair, open and scientific review of Energy East? e-activist/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1847&ea.campaign.id=30623&forwarded=true Over 4,000 km long, TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline would run from Alberta to New Brunswick, and could carry over 1 million barrels of tar sands crude to the Atlantic Ocean each day. Energy East would produce up to 32 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year, the same as adding 7 million new cars to Canadian roads. Prime Minister Harper and Big Oil know that they can only build this pipeline if they ignore the facts and ignore the people. Theyve changed the law to make sure the National Energy Board doesnt consider the climate impact of the pipeline, and want to cut out communities from having a voice in the process. We need to use our collective voice to form a peoples intervention on Energy East to make sure the truth has its day. Click here to add your voice to the peoples intervention. Once enough people have signed calling for a peoples intervention, well work with our allies to deliver these messages directly to the National Energy Board. If the NEB still doesnt listen and include climate change and community voices, were going to register hundreds of people as intervenors to force the issue into the project review. Were at an important cross roads for the future of Canada, this massive pipeline has the potential to devastate the lands and the water that we as Canadians hold dear. Our government is pushing for tar sands development, so we need to unite our voices and push for a greener future.
