Canadians Say No to Enbridge Pipeline and Tankers

Share

Greenpeace Canada and other environmental groups and citizens gathered outside the regional office of Enbridge in downtown Vancouver to say no to the company’s proposal to pump bitumen from the Tar Sands across BC and into coastal supertankers in the Great Bear Rainforest.

The demonstration was staged in conjunction with a similar one in Calgary outside Enbridge’s Annual General Meeting today. Concerns over the company’s BC proposal have been heightened by the recent environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico that has seen millions of gallons of oil pollute the marine environment and threaten coastal communities, fish, and wildlife.
