The federal government could approve or reject Enbridge’s pipeline and super tanker plan in weeks or days.

This is the moment to tell BC’s 21 Conservative MPs that they have to choose: Enbridge or BC.

The federal government is about to decide whether it will approve or reject Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline and supertanker plan.

Right now, the 21 federal Conservative MPs in British Columbia, and their leader James Moore[1], have a choice to make: they can join the unprecedented coalition of people who are defending BC from Enbridge, or they can gamble BC’s coast - and their own political future.

This is a crucial moment to focus on these 21 Conservative MPs. Please join thousands and click here to tell them that they have to choose: Enbridge or British Columbia.

The Enbridge pipeline and supertanker project is an irresponsible threat to the communities, First Nations and coastal economy of Northern BC.
BC’s 21 Conservative MPs can apply pressure to Prime Minister Stephen Harper to listen to the majority of British Columbians and reject Enbridge’s pipeline and super tanker proposal.

Let’s flood them with messages from people - especially people in their own ridings - to let them know that if they choose Enbridge they will pay a steep political price and be forever known as the “Enbridge 21.”

This is about more than a pipeline, it’s about the future we want for BC.

Do we bet our economy on rip-and-ship industries that have gone boom and bust over and over again? Do we keep building on a foundation of broken promises to communities and First Nations? Do we look the other way as knowingly lock future generations into a path that leads to catastrophic oil spills and runaway global warming?

Or, do we take a step back from this rigged table and create a new plan that brings people together as citizens to hold government accountable, strengthen our democracy and create a clean energy economy that’s built to last?

The 21 Conservative MPs have one last chance to do the right thing. They need to hear from you today. Please click here to tell them to say no to Enbridge: http://www.enbridge21.ca/

Thanks for all you do.

With hope and respect,
