Take Action on Enbridge

Dear ,

Any day now, the federal government will be making a decision on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, a project that would bring oil tankers through the world-renowned Great Bear Rainforest.

Will the federal Cabinet approve this dangerous proposal, and put B.C.’s salmon, jobs, coast and climate at risk? We don't know for sure. But even if the federal government gives Enbridge the thumbs-up, this fight is far from over.

Take action today! Ask the Premier to stand up for B.C. families and communities, and put a stop to the Enbridge pipeline and tankers project!

British Columbians have already said “no” to Enbridge, in no uncertain terms. Coastal First Nations have said no. Municipalities have said no. Kitimat said no in a recent plebiscite, despite Enbridge’s massive public relations campaign.

The B.C. government said no in its final submission to the review panel last year. It is critical that Premier Clark know British Columbians expect her to stand firm and continue to reject the Enbridge pipeline and tankers project, even if the federal government approves it.



The five conditions outlined by the Premier have not been met and cannot ever be met. Plain and simple.

Effective oil spill response is impossible under many conditions on B.C.'s coast.

First Nations rights have not been adequately addressed. The Gitga’at, Haisla, and Gitxaala Nations have already launched legal challenges. More than 160 First Nations have signed the Save the Fraser Declaration opposing tar sands pipelines in their territories.

Write to Premier Clark and other elected officials – thank them for their opposition to the dangerous Enbridge pipeline and tankers and ask them to hold firm in the face of federal pressure.

Thank you – your support and actions helped pressure Premier Clark to adopt her five conditions and to say no to Enbridge. Now it’s crucial she knows British Columbians expect her to hold firm.


For the Coast,
