Read this story from the Winnipeg Free Press on the letter written by eight Nobel Prize winners to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, urging he stop the reckless expansion of the Alberta Tar Sands. The Nobel laureates include Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
“The letter comes three weeks after several peace prize laureates
wrote a letter to United States President Barack Obama asking him to
block the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline (TSX:TRP), which would increase
oilsands exports to the United States. ‘Just as we called on President Obama to reject the
pipeline, we are calling on you to use your power to halt the expansion
of the tarsands — and ensure that Canada moves towards a clean energy
future,’ the letter says.” (Sept. 27, 2011)
