The National Energy Board just approved the massive Kinder Morgan pipeline. Now the decision rests with PM Trudeau and his MPs, and we believe they will build this pipeline unless they hear from you.
Sign this petition today to join thousands calling for PM Trudeau and Natural Resources Minsiter Carr to stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline.
Sign todayDear Paov,
The Harper-appointed, unelected, and unaccountable National Energy Board just approved the Kinder Morgan TransMountain Pipeline despite widespread community opposition in BC.
We can still stop this pipeline. Prime Minister Trudeau added a step to the review process, promising to listen to communities and look at the climate impacts of this project.1
