These days, it can be tough to keep up with the onslaught of oil and gas pipelines proposed through towns and communities across Canada. Between Northern Gateway, Keystone XL, Energy East and all the other pipeline projects being put forward, there’s a lot of information to take in – and a lot at stake. 

There are dozens of major oil and gas pipelines currently in place across the country, and nine more proposed or recently constructed. We produced this new report to help you to understand just what the oil and gas industry has planned for our communities, and the level to which they can influence our politics here in Canada.

After this report went to press, the federal government announced its approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline – but we know that the fight to stop this risky project is far from over. This summer we will also continue to support our First Nations allies, as well as local governments in cities like Vancouver and Burnaby, in their opposition to the proposed Kinder Morgan tar sands pipeline. As intervenors at the Kinder Morgan regulatory hearings, we are working towards having climate change included in the list of issues being considered. (Right now, any discussion about climate change is not permitted as part of the review!)

Will you help give the campaign a boost by sharing our new report with your friends, family and neighbours? If you’d like additional copies to distribute in your community, just email papers@wildernesscommittee.org and let us know how many you need.

You can also take action by writing a letter to federal decision-makers (if you haven’t already), confirming your opposition to reckless tar sands proposals that put our coast, communities and climate at risk.

We are not going to sit back and watch the oil and gas industry and our government enablers ignore the science on climate change while pushing us towards climate chaos. With your help, we can make it clear to the world that Canadians are taking climate change seriously.
