Reject Alberta’s pipeline ploy
Canada faces a choice: Build new fossil fuel pipelines that deepen the climate crisis, damage ecosystems, endanger communities and enrich oil and gas billionaires, or build a resilient, people- and nature-centred future powered by renewables.
In November 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney made a damaging deal with Alberta to fast-track a new diluted bitumen oil pipeline to British Columbia’s coast while rolling back key environmental protections. This pipeline would lock Canada into deeper dependence on a declining, high-polluting industry and put North Pacific ecosystems and people, including coastal First Nations, at risk from increased tanker traffic and catastrophic oil spills.
Let’s drop this pipeline ploy and choose a fossil-fuel free future. Alberta intends to submit its pipeline proposal to the federal government’s Major Projects Office by July 1, 2026. We intend to stop it.

Facts in
$1.3 billion in local GDP
The Great Bear Sea — a rugged, rich, sensitive coastal ecosystem currently protected under the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act since 2019 — generates around $1.3 billion in local GDP and more than 11,000 full-time jobs.
No more fossil fuel pollution
Fossil fuel air pollution is a leading cause of early death in Canada, responsible for an estimated 34,000 premature deaths annually, according to Health Canada and recent Harvard research.
400,000 jobs by 2030
Clean electricity is already the cheapest way to power our communities, and the shift to a net-zero grid is expected to create 400,000 jobs in Canada by the end of this decade, with millions more to follow as the clean energy sector grows.
A better path
Clean, renewable electricity
100 percent renewable electricity is possible in Canada. Investing in renewables is the solution to improve electricity reliability, bring down energy bills, create thousands of good jobs, and help us tackle the climate crisis.
Reject Alberta’s pipeline ploy!
There’s still time to stop the Alberta’s proposed pipeline and choose a fossil-fuel free future. Help us push for a better choice for Canada.
Strengthened federal methane rules are finally out
Cutting methane is the fastest, most effective way governments can tackle climate change right now. But the government risks undermining progress by supporting fossil fuel projects.

No kings on Turtle Island: Trade, executive power and the assault on environmental accountability
At the World Economic Forum, Mark Carney warned of a new world order of concentrated trade power. After U.S. withdrawal from the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, the environment is paying the price for this kinglike approach to trade governance.

Stop wasting money on pipelines. Give us real nation-building projects
Canada must move past costly pipeline politics and invest in a nation-building, Indigenous-led east-west renewable electricity grid that creates jobs, boosts energy security and supports communities.
