Energy East Town Hall - Winnipeg
TransCanada’s Energy East project would convert an existing natural gas pipeline – parts of which are up to 40-years old – to ship 1.1 million barrels of oil every day through the Prairies to export port in New Brunswick. Join us for a discussion about why TransCanada’s proposed Energy East pipeline is all risk and little reward.
