Tell Trudeau: Stop propping up Kinder Morgan’s pipedream!

Prime Minister Trudeau has pledged billions in public funds to buy Kinder Morgan’s dangerous tarsands pipeline and oil tankers project.

It’s outrageous. Our federal government should not be trying to prop up a dangerous proposal that communities don’t want and does not have the consent of First Nations.

Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau need to stop cheerleading for a pipeline and tankers that will lead to oil spills and climate disaster. Trudeau says if he can’t find a buyer by July 22, the government will buy the pipeline. This could cost taxpayers more than $15 billion!

Public funds should be spent on schools, hospitals and clean energy investments – not a leaky, dangerous pipeline and tankers!

It’s all hands on deck to send a strong, clear message: we say NO to bailing out Kinder Morgan!

Your Letter*
Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Morneau, It's outrageous that your government has committed to bailing out Kinder Morgan’s pipeline and oil tankers. This violates your promise to reduce fossil fuel subsidies and take action on our climate. BC's economy and our environment would be decimated by a major oil spill and our climate can't handle the expansion of the tarsands. The risks are too great for the coast, for BC, for our climate and for taxpayers in general. You promised to respect First Nations but your government's support of this project tramples over Indigenous rights and title. First Nations have spoken and they say no. You don't get to impose this pipeline without consent. People-powered, Indigenous-led resistance remains firm and will continue to grow stronger the more Ottawa tries to ram this pipeline through. No bailout for Kinder Morgan – or any other fossil fuel corporation! Instead of cheerleading for tar sands expansion, it’s time for public investments in renewable clean energy solutions.
