Enbridge's New Hamilton Office Is Filled With Clowns!
From the press release:
In the last several years individuals from across so-called southern Ontario have been resisting the tarsands and local pipeline projects. A diversity of tactics has been employed, and those involved have faced harassment, brutality and arrests for their actions.
So when enbridge decided to open a new office in hamilton, ontario – an area that’s been a hotbed of pipeline resistance - we decided to have some fun and throw them a “welcome” party...
February 2016:
Recognising the similarities between the legal arguments, The Chippewas of the Thames First Nation and The Clyde River Inuit will be collaborating in their respective challenges to the NEB's understanding of consultation and consent.
The Clyde River Inuit have challenged the NEB's decision to allow seismic blast testing in cotal waters.

Early morning tampering with Line 9 and Line 7 valves near Hamilton.
From the communique:
"in the early hours of january 25, 2016 we found our own courage and took action against enbridge and their line 9. slipping in to a valve station located on traditional Haudenosaunee Territory (in hamilton, ontario) we successfully operated an electronic valve to shut off the flow of tarsands crude in line 9. a line 7 valve, also an enbridge tarsands pipeline, was also tampered with and closed part way. we then disappeared back into the night.”

Night time Line 7 valve closure near Cambridge
From the communique:
"sometime in the night of january 3rd, 2016 individuals stole into the dark near so-called cambridge and used a manual pipeline valve to restrict the flow of enbridge's line 7. we then applied our own locking devices to delay response time.
line 7 is another recently-expanded tarsands pipeline operated by enbridge, running parallel to line 9 & flowing 180,000 bpd of tarsands crude."

December 21st, 2015:
From the press release:
At 7:30 this morning, individuals used the manual hand wheel at a valve site to shut off the flow of oil through line 9 as an act of protest. They have locked themselves on site to prevent the operation of the pipeline.
Three brave friends, Vanessa Gray from Anishinaabek Nation and two allies, shut down #Line9. Without the consent of Indigenous peoples, Enbridge’s line 9 pumps deadly bitumen through Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lenape, and Métis territories between Aamijiwnaang and Kahnawake. Serious criminal charges have been laid against all three.

Quebec activists manually closed a valve on the line 9 pipeline, forcing Enbridge to shutdown the line for the day.
From the press release:
"On December 7, we shut it down. Literally. Most media reported that Enbridge shut down Line 9 as a “precautionary measure”, but we know better. We closed the valve manually. This is historic: to our knowledge, this is the first time that activists have manually shut down a pipeline. Who would have thought that it be so simple?"

“Good people cannot simply watch as the government and big business dismantle protections and poison our communities for profit, so today we call attention to companies that enable Enbridge to continue destroying for profit - their financiers and contractors; their facilitators and publicists. Those who manage their security and their planning, approve their permits and projects – and any other players who passively take part in eco-destruction while operating business as usual.”

The site of a proposed valve installation has been occupied since 7am tuesday august 6th. Blockaders are maintaining their commitment to defend the watershed of the Antler (Thames) river and all waterways and ecosystems that Line 9 crosses and that suffer from tar sands extraction. Line 9 is slated to carry tar sands bitumen and fracked bakken shale oil eastward from sarnia to montreal. The risks of these oils poses a grave threat to ecosystems and communities along the line's entire route.

Integrity Dig in Haudenosaunee Territory (North Dumfries) Shut Down!
Individuals from Six Nations and their allies interrupted work Thursday and Friday on a section of Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline. The work stoppage began around 10am Thursday morning. Individuals involved asked workers to leave, asserting that the land is Haudenosaunee territory guaranteed under the Haldimand deed, and that Enbridge’s workers were present without consent or consultation.
“Meaningful consultation isn’t just providing information and going ahead without discussion – it’s giving the opportunity to say no and having a willingness to accommodate,” says Missy Elliot. “This is a continental concern. It’s not just a Six Nations issue or an indigenous issue. We share the responsibility to protect our land and water as human beings.”

Line 9 Integrity Dig in Etobicoke Targeted
On Monday, July 14, members of Rising Tide Toronto blocked another Enbridge “integrity dig” site, successfully preventing the company from conducting work on the site that would bring them one step closer to reversing, and increasing, the flow of oil through the aged Line 9 pipeline. "We know that Enbridge has no integrity, and that Line 9 reversal is an unjust and dangerous project," they stated, vowing further direct action in the face of the company’s ongoing development of this pipeline.
Speaking from the action, they stated, “Today we are taking a stand to say NO to Line 9 and tar sands development. Our collective future has been put at risk by the reckless greed of corporate profiteers. It is our responsibility to combat further destructive projects that push many people and the planet towards imminent danger. For us, right now, that includes saying NO to Tar Sands destruction.”

Chippewas of the Thames First Nation Line 9 Appeal Moves Forward
On Tuesday, the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in Ontario announced that it had won a motion to appeal the National Energy Board Decision of the controversial line 9 pipeline reversal project.
The Line 9 pipeline reversal project was approved by the NEB in March 2014 despite overwhelming evidence presented by opponents to the project showing a 90% likelihood of failure of the pipeline and the complete lack of consultation with or consent from impacted Indigenous peoples along the pipeline route.
The press release says that there was no consultation with the Chippewas despite the pipeline crossing the Thames river in the heart of their territory which provides a source of drinking water to the First Nation. Chippewas of the Thames Chief, Joe Miskokomon, feels that the time is right to begin a wider dialogue on a principled approach to natural resources and safer energy projects involving First Nations.
The release continues :
Chief Miskokomon is of the view that, “We know that there is a lot of public debate about oil pipelines because we are beginning to see that the old ways of doing business are no longer acceptable because of issues like global climate change and species extinction. Our elders have taught us that when we don’t respect Mother Earth our actions will come back to us”.
In the coming weeks, Chippewas of the Thames will be launching a campaign to to support its appeal which calls on various industries and governments to seek a new way of doing business that draws upon First Nations values and honours the original treaty relationship.
“We need the public and First Nations across this country to see this appeal as an opportunity to lend their support to Chippewa, and to strongly encourage government and industry to pursue alternative approaches to address how natural resources are developed to benefit the seventh generation”, concludes Chief Miskokomon.
With this recent action, the campaign against the Line 9 tarsands and fracked oil pipeline continues.

Toxic Tour in Aamjiwnaang:
On Saturday May 10th, Youth from the Aamjiwnaang first nation led a “toxic tour” of the lands surrounding their reserve just outside of Sarnia. About 40 participants took part in the walk which is used as a way to educate settlers and other indigenous people about the impacts the petroleum industry has had on the tiny reserve, which is surrounded by 63 chemical-processing complexes.
One stop of the tour was at the community burial site which itself is surrounded by the sprawling Suncor facility on one side, a benzene clean-up area on another, and a 300 foot flare stack in the back.
The waterloo region coalition against #line9 went down to see the Terminus of the proposed Tar Sands pipeline and reported a “devastating look into ongoing environmental racism in Canada.”
The Tour ended in with a friendship meal in the Aamjiwnaang community centre.
