• Pipelines and Super Tankers!

  

  One of the hottest, critical environmental issues in the Canadian and global consciousness this year involves the proposed new Enbridge Northern Gateway Project and Kinder Morgan Transmountain Expansion Project. Three key threats are enfolded in this issue: noxious, toxic Tar Sand mining; pipelines carrying unrefined bitumen across pristine wild country; and super tankers navigating in treacherous waterways. The risks of leaking pipelines and marine oil spills are profound. It is not surprising that many Canadian citizens have rallied together to protest this plan, including many First Nations communities. People listen to nurses - we need to gather our voices together to stop these destructive proposals and help people wake up to the reality – it is time to stop relying on fossil fuels!!!
