Several groups in Manitoba are voicing opposition today to TransCanada’s proposed Energy East pipeline, which would transport crude oil through the province en route to eastern Canada. The citizens’ groups are calling on the National Energy Board to include a full audit of climate change impacts in its review of the proposed project. The Manitoba groups, which include the Manitoba Energy Justice Coalition, the Council of Canadians, Idle No More, Kairos, the University of Winnipeg Students Association and the Wilderness Committee, are urging the National Energy Board to consider the environmental and social effects of the proposed pipeline. At around midday Monday, a small group of protesters took its message to the Delta hotel in downtown Winnipeg, where TransCanada is hosting an Energy East information session with aboriginal delegates. The protesters are angry that First Nations leaders are even talking to TransCanada about the proposed pipeline amid concerns about water quality and climate change. The group was not allowed inside the meeting, the CBC’s Kiran Dhillon reports. #IdleNoMore #TransCanada #EnergyEast #cbcnn #cdnpoli #ctvnews #globalnews #aptn #Winnipeg #Manitoba westcoastnativenews/transcanada-pipeline-proposal-meets-opposition-in-winnipeg/
