We have less than Ten years to End Fossil Fuel Expansion Missions. So Plans for New Oil Pipelines, like Trans Mountain, are a reckless Threat to Humanity.
That’s why the very idea of Insurance Companies covering this dangerous Project is so absurd, the very Companies that are supposed to Cover Damages in the case of Disaster, are actively Supporting the World’s worst unfolding Disaster, in real-time.
The Trans Mountain Pipeline stretches 710-miles across Western Canada, and the current Plan would Triple the Pipeline’s Oil capacity. Tar Sands are One of the most Destructive Fossil Fuels on the Planet. They release 3x as much Greenhouse Gas Pollution as Conventional Oil. It’s absolutely Critical that Construction of the Trans Mountain Pipeline is Stopped in its Tracks.
Because of Pressure, 18 Insurers have ruled Out the Project, with 2 pulling out in the past few weeks. And in a Major Win for Grassroots Organizers, the Canadian Government announced that they'd Stop using further Public Funds for the over-budget Pipeline.
But the Fight is far from over, as the same Government, turned around and offered the Pipeline, a Ten Billion Dollar Loan Guarantee.
Despite the massive Threat to Clean Drinking Water and a Healthy Climate, Construction of an additional 710-mile Destructive Pipeline Expansion Project is still Planned to move forward.
It's a critical time to show up in Numbers and in Solidarity with Indigenous Communities facing the Destruction of their most Sacred Sites.
