We can stop any leaks by stopping the pipeline

Enbridge says their proposed Northern Gateway pipeline is safe, but again and again they’re proven wrong – even by their own existing pipelines. Leaks, leaks and more leaks.

Yesterday over 19,500 barrels (840,000 gallons) of crude oil leaked from an Enbridge pipeline into a creek leading to the Kalamazoo River in southwest Michigan.

North Dakota shared a similar fate in January 2010, with 3,000 barrels leaking from an Enbridge pipe.

And, in 2007 over 4,200 barrels of Enbridge-transported crude oil tainted the water table in northern Wisconsin.

Can you imagine BC’s northern rivers and streams suffering the same oily future?

Enbridge’s environmental application has been submitted to the National Energy Board (NEB), and now’s the time to counter their safety record spin.
