Waterloo Region Against Line 9 Fall Newsletter - Updates & Action Items!
Submitted by noline9 on
Hello Line 9 opponents!
Despite Enbridge's repeatedly altered predictions, diluted tar sands
bitumen and volatile fracked oil from the Bakken shale fields are
still not flowing in Line 9. Concerted opposition to this dangerous
project has continued to keep it at bay for more than a year past the
original start-up goal. But Enbridge is scrambling to turn the line on
to satisfy the demands of their shippers and stop slipping in the
stock market (http://www.dakotafinancialnews.com/enbridge-enb-research-analysts-weekly...).
As we know, they're concerned only about their profits and not about
the land, water, or our communities, so they're rushing through more
last-minute excavations and "repairs"
(http://faitspipelines.com/resources/PR_CaC_Excavations_Quebec_final.pdf)
in hopes of pumping dilbit and fracked oil through this aging line as
soon as December. Let's make sure that Line 9 doesn't start pumping
then, or ever!
