Petition to Justin Trudeau
- Enbridge Line 9 reversal to transport tar sands and fracked Bakken shale oil between Sarnia and Montreal contributes to the largest and fastest growing source of Canadian greenhouse gas emissions;
- Expert opinion states the transportation of such products has a 90% likelihood of a significant Line 9 spill within the first five years of operation, posing risks to the health and well-being of Indigenous communities as well as millions of residents of Ontario and Quebec;
- The Line 9 reversal project was authorized with inadequate Indigenous consultation and without Indigenous consent; and
- During the recent election campaign, the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau promised to revamp the regulatory process that approves Canadian pipeline projects.
