Tar Sands Come to Ontario – No Line 9!

Toronto — 17 November 2012.

Resistance, Solutions and Solidarity

What is Line 9? Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline could be pumping corrosive and toxic tar sands across Ontario soon. Line 9 cuts through Toronto, north of Finch. Tar sands in Line 9 would menace natural environments, violate Native land rights, and threaten our communities across the province. And exploitation of Canada’s tar sands escalates climate change, posing a deadly threat to all the world’s peoples.
