STEPHEN HARPER’S FEDERAL CABINET HAS APPROVED ENBRIDGE’S RISKY
PIPELINE.

The approval follows the National Energy Board's December ruling that
Enbridge's risky pipeline project should go ahead -- which came as no
surprise given that the NEB has never said "no" to a pipeline.

The NEB decision was entirely deficient in noting significant environmental
damage but stating the economic benefits trump the risk, without providing
any cost-benefit economic analysis.

BUT , HERE’S THE THING -- THE HARPER CONSERVATIVES
SHOULD NOT THINK FOR A MILLISECOND THAT THIS DECISION MEANS THIS RECKLESS
PROJECT WILL GO AHEAD.

They believe that the enormous risks that we as Canadians are taking to our
land and water are outweighed by the economic benefits.

You and I know that's not the case, and that any economic benefits will go
to multinational corporations and foreign refineries.

WE NEED TO ACT TODAY -- ADD YOUR NAME NOW. BE PART OF ONE LOUD VOICE THAT
SHOWS THAT WE, AS CANADIANS, ARE DEFIANT. [1]

Your voice on this issue is the most powerful thing you've got in this
fight. I need you to use it.

The Green Party is taking action and gathering names in opposition to this
reckless project -- you can add your name:
