The proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline will pass through many special places of Alberta and British Columbia in order to bring unrefined oil to the coast for shipping to the United States and Asia.
One of these many special places is the Spirit Bear Rainforest, a home to the seldom seen Spirit Bear and an abundance of other amazing fauna and flora.
The inevitable oil leaks/spills along both the pipeline and the shipping routes, as well as the construction process, will destroy the balance of this precious eco-system.
Trees will be cut down, habitat will be lost and many birds and animals will die..... all in the name of gaining income from a limited resource. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCRBJz3xwXE
We, the undersigned, feel that Mr. Stephen Harper and his government should not be thinking only of trying to bring more money into Canada.
They should be doing everything possible to safeguard our environment. They should be planning wisely for our future.... a future which includes a rich diversity of life on our planet, and a civilisation that can do without oil.
Stop the Enbridge Pipeline!
