*What is Line 9?*
First Nations? land defense is catalyzing resistance across Canada to the
tar sands menace. In Ontario, this threat is posed by Enbridge?s Line 9
pipeline, which could soon be pumping corrosive and toxic tar sands across
the province.

Line 9 cuts through Toronto, north of Finch. Tar sands in Line 9 would
violate indigenous land rights, menace natural environments, and threaten
Toronto and communities across the province. And exploitation of Canada?s
tar sands escalates climate change, posing a deadly threat to all the
world?s peoples. No Line 9!
