BREAKING: A growing number of voices — including First Nations, economists, and environmental organizations — are calling out the Canadian federal government for hiding the true cost of the #TransMountainPipeline. Watch the press conference now 👇#cdnpoli stand.earth/latest/Canada-…
“We’re urging federal parties to demand official discussion around the financial reality of the #TransMountainPipeline. Upward of $9B — or more — would go a long way to supporting oil & gas workers in Alberta and helping build a clean economy.” -Alexandra Woodsworth @dogwoodbc
@dogwoodbc “The #TransMountainPipeline is a massive multi-billion dollar subsidy & Canadians have the right to know how much the price has increased. Canadians were told this would be a profit-generating investment. Instead, it’s operating at a consistent loss." -Eugene Kung @WCELaw
We're honored to be on traditional #Lummi lands in #BlaineWA for Netse Mot: One Mind for Xw'ullemy, an event to show that no border divides us, we are of one mind, when it come to protecting our shared home — the #SalishSea. Watch the livestream: facebook.com/OurSacredSea/p…
“The #SalishSea flows as one sea. The salmon, our qwe’lhol’mechen #orcas, our kinship ties, our traditional cultures and languages, do not recognize the line between Canada and the United States. We are all connected and must work together.” Jay Julius, #Lummi Chairman
“Our work is to protect and heal. We protect by protesting projects like the #TransMountainPipeline and #RobertsBank in Canada...we heal by spiritually feeding qwe’lhol’mechen #orcas and working to make them whole..." Raynell Morris, #Lummi elder

Approving the #TransMountainPipeline is inconsistent with Canada’s declaration of a climate emergency, says @standearth #bcpoli #cdnpoli stand.earth/latest/people-…
"Oil and gas emissions are the largest and fastest growing component of Canada’s emissions. If we are going to fight climate change in Canada, we need to face the fact that we can no longer expand fossil fuel production and infrastructure." -@Tzeporah #transmountainpipeline
"Canada oil is high cost + high carbon & is struggling to compete in a global market. Investing pipeline profits into clean energy? How about you just put $10B directly into clean energy instead of wasting taxpayer money on this risky investment?" @Tzeporah #transmountainpipeline
