CoastalTarSands.ca Launching Today

Today is WORLD WATER DAY and I’m honouring  it by launching my next media campaign

http://coastaltarsands.ca

There’s very little time left before the Harper government plans to approve the Enbridge Corporation’s Northern Gateway Pipeline Project in early 2014. This plan includes hundreds of supertankers navigating through the inside passage along the central coast of British Columbia, loaded with millions of barrels of Alberta Tarsands Bitumen for export to China.

This is one of the most pressing environmental issue of our time. These coastal waters are intense, the shorelines extremely rugged, and the environment extremely diverse. Before deciding its future people deserve to see more than animated TV ads, with glass calm waters absent of a maze of islands, produced by the Enbridge Corporation which is spending $350 million promoting its project.  My media project will reveal the reality of this incredible environment and I need your help to complete it. More details: http://coastaltarsands.ca

I’m taking an innovative approach to this media production by producing a series of short ‘mini-docs’ that I will post on the internet to meet pressing public deadlines, which will be combined to complete a full length documentary. I’ve started a fund raising campaign via Indiegogo to cover the production cost of the first ‘mini-doc,’ which needs to be released prior to the BC Election May 14. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/coastal-tarsands

Bottom line! Oil and Water Don’t Mix!

12:00pm – 1:30pm
Le bureau de Jean Charest
770 Sherbrooke Ouest

Dans le cadre de la Journée Internationale d’Action pour la Justice Climatique. . .
Pendant que le premier ministre Jean Charest fait la une suite à son engagement sur la réduction des émissions du Québec, son gouvernement donne le feu vert à un gazoduc provenant de l’entreprise la plus destructive jamais vue, les sables bitumineux, le droit d’entrer à Montréal. Tant et aussi longtemps que l’extraction des sables bitumineux continue, le Canada ne peut pas et ne satisfera pas aucun objectif significatif de réduction de ses émissions.

Les sables bitumineux sont responsables de la destruction écologique sans précédent de milliers d’hectares de forêt boréale et du profond déchirement du tissu social de communautés nordiques comme Fort Chipewyan. Maintenant, le flot de la destruction arrive chez nous. Le projet Trailbreaker d’Enbridge qui apporterait 200 000 barils de pétrole sale des sables bitumineux à travers Montréal, dont 40 000 seraient raffinés à Montréal-Est avant de continuer son chemin vers le Maine, jusqu’à la Côte Est, a été approuvé.

Le projet d’expansion des sables bitumineux révèle être une des plus grandes erreurs de notre génération, mais nous pouvons encore arrêter cette folle destruction. Montréal est et doit rester une zone sans sables bitumineux, pour notre futur et celui de la planète.

Arrêtons Trailbreaker, Arrêtons les sables bitumineux !! Mobilisons-nous pour la Justice Climatique au Canada

–

Part of the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice…

While Premier Jean Charest is making headlines for his commitment to curb Quebec’s emissions, his government is steadily green-lighting a pipeline from the world’s most destructive enterprise, the Tar Sands, right into Montreal. As long as Tar Sands extraction continues on a massive scale, Canada cannot, and will not meet any major emissions reduction targets.

The Tar sands are responsible for the unprecedented ecological devastation of pristine Northern Boreal Forests, and the tearing of the very social fabric of communities such as Fort Chipewyan. Now the destruction is coming to our backyard. If approved, the Enbridge Trailbreaker project will bring 200,000 barrels of dirty oil from the Tar Sands through Montreal, 40,000 of which would be refined in Montreal-Est, before continuing onto to Maine, and all the way down the Eastern seaboard.

The Tar Sands expansion projects are shaping up to be the one of the biggest mistakes of our generation, but we can stop them in their tracks. Montreal is, and must remain a Tar Sands Free Zone, for our own future, and that of the planet.

Stop the Trailbreaker, Stop the Tar Sands Demonstration!! Mobilize for Climate Justice in Canada.
