Stop fuelling wildfires with new pipeline

Invest in real nation-building projects – not nation burning

While Canada faces record-breaking wildfires and heat waves, and current global events have exposed fossil fuel market volatility, Prime Minister Mark Carney is promising to fast-track and finance a new climate-polluting, ecosystem-destroying, economically reckless pipeline that will add to Canada’s climate crisis.

To add insult to injury, Carney plans to use your taxpayer dollars to build this pipeline that would:

• Dramatically increase tanker traffic, bringing more risk of a catastrophic oil spill in the habitat of southern resident killer whales, threatening this endangered species with extinction.
• Lock Canada into deeper dependence on a declining, high-polluting industry – even as wildfires and extreme heat bring the climate crisis to our doorstep.
• Add to the downstream pollution of burning fossil fuels, despite Carney’s claims that this new pipeline will transport “low-emission bitumen oil” through carbon capture and storage. There is no such thing as low-emission oil.

People throughout Canada are facing more frequent and intense climate disasters while politicians are fuelling the climate crisis. But there’s still time to convince politicians to choose a fossil-fuel free future instead of a polluting one.

Act now. Message your MP and tell them to invest your taxpayer dollars in clean energy solutions instead of a new bitumen pipeline.

Real nation-building projects should advance climate objectives, protect nature, uphold Indigenous rights and create long-term prosperity.

Help Canada choose the better path.
