Stop the Energy East Tar Sands Pipeline Through Ottawa

To the governments of Canada, Ontario and the city of Ottawa:

------------

Aux gouvernements du Canada, de l'Ontario et de la ville d'Ottawa:

We, the undersigned, demand that our elected officials prevent dangerous tar sands oil from being shipped through our city. A tar sands pipeline would create huge new risks and provide no new benefit for the City of Ottawa.

Nous, les soussignés, demandons que nos représentants élus empêchent que le pétrole dangereux des sables bitumineux soit expédié à travers notre ville. Un oléoduc de bitumen dilué créerait d'énormes nouveaux risques et ne fournirait aucun nouveau bénéfice pour la Ville d'Ottawa.

As an elected official from Saint John, New Brunswick, I refuse to put my fellow citizens in harm’s way. The Energy East project will aid and abet the expansion of the tar sands and as a result it will contribute irrevocably to climate change. The guaranteed leaks for this pipeline alone are enough of a reason to oppose this reckless project. I have nothing but contempt for TransCanada, and the guaranteed harm it will bring to Saint John, to New Brunswick, and to the country at large. I support Ottawa’s attempt to stop this pipeline in its tracks.

Climate change is bad news all around. It’s better to stop it than to adapt to changes.

While the pipeline in itself is not something I would be adverse to, but this particular one is detrimental to the climate change objectives of the Paris D’accord signed on behalf of the people of Canada. In addition the Tar Sands Pipeline will augment the ecological damage of the Athabasca Basin.
