PM Justin Trudeau could approve the Petronas Pacific NorthWest liquefied fracked gas terminal as early as next week.
Send a message today to call on him to protect the salmon and defend our climate by rejecting this dangerous project.
Send MessageWould you believe me if I told you the government is about to approve a project that could destroy Canada’s second-largest salmon run?
Our partners in Northern BC are telling us that the federal government is preparing to approve Petronas' Pacific NorthWest liquefied fracked gas terminal, which is set to be built on Lelu Island - Canada’s last intact salmon estuary.1
To make matters worse, this project would become Canada’s single biggest point sources of greenhouse gas emissions, making it impossible for us to meet our international climate commitments.2,3
The good news is we can still stop this project. Close to 2,000 Leadnow community members already sent messages to the government calling on them to stop this project, and they helped delay it -- twice.4

Hey Jammers,
If you feel like doing something on the 5th anniversary of OWS this Saturday, then here’s a suggestion . . why not adopt the ‘play jazz’ mood and go prowling ... alone or with friends ... be open to everything and anything. If you feel like engaging with an interesting stranger then go ahead and do it . . . if you see an ATM that you want to leave a message on then go ahead and do it . . . if you feel like turning a bank window into a work of art then go ahead and do it . . . and if you want to paint a blackspot on your forehead and shuffle around like a zombie then just go ahead and do it.

Yesterday, we gave our opening statements in B.C. Supreme Court.
In the opening, Alison Latimer, one of our
fantastic lawyers, explained that the laws Brian Day’s plaintiffs are
trying to strike down are the foundation of Canadian public
health care. Without them, she argued, many of us could not
afford care and we would wait longer for treatment.
For the first time, the court heard about Tom and Glyn, the two patients who are intervening in the Cambie Surgeries lawsuit with us. Both are living with chronic health conditions and they represent those...
