At 6am this morning, members of Rising Tide Toronto
successfully shut down construction for Enbridge's Line 9 pipeline in
North Toronto. Five people, including two priests, locked down to
equipment to prevent further work on this project. Approximately 40
workers were sent home for the day and activists continue to occupy the
construction site.
“The
National Energy Board has not approved the reversal of the Enbridge
Line 9 pipeline. Amidst outstanding land claims and treaty violations
all along the route, there has been no consultation with First Nations.
This pipeline must be decommissioned and construction towards this
project must stop.” – Amanda Lickers, Member of Six Nations of Grand
River“We are taking a stand today because this project will facilitate the expansion of the tar sands. Moreover, this reversal puts the millions of people along line 9 route at risk.” – Meghan Mills, Rising Tide Toronto
"The health of Aamjiwnaang is suffering from the effects from Canada's Chemical Valley as a result of Environmental Racism. We need to act now in defence of the land we depend on before Enbridge permanently destroys our territories. This is a human rights issue that effects future generations of all peoples.” – Vanessa Gray, Aamjiwnaang and Sarnia Against Pipelines .
