Thousands of protestors in Vancouver came out today against Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. November 19th, 2016.
If the Canadian Government approves this pipeline its going to get really ugly.
Go Canada!
Canadians care. I certainly hope our governments take a lesson from what’s just happened below the 49th. Listen to the citizens.
Happening now in Vancouver, Canada thousands protest the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. This pipeline if built would add the equivalent of 30+ million cars on the road or 42 new coal power plants.
Mark my words, if Justin Trudeau approves this pipeline he’s going to see mass protests and arrests just like the situation going on in North Dakota with the Dakota Access Pipeline. The mayor of Burnaby has said he is willing to lay down in front of bulldozers to stop the project.
The mayor of Vancouver and former Premier of BC agree:
Gregor Robertson warns of Trans Mountain protests ‘like you’ve never seen before’
Yeah, BC has a long and proud history of environmental activism. I would think about this very very carefully, JT.
Keep It In The Ground
“It’s not a pipeline to provide Western Oil to Eastern Canadians, it’s an export pipeline, we don’t have the bitumen refinery capacity in Canada to refine this stuff, 90 percent of this will go to export,” she added. “We are putting at risk about 3,000 waterways across the country and the drinking water for over 5 million Canadians. It’s not a railroad, it’s not the dream that they are proposing.”
