We are in Countdown 2030. We must stop current projects and not begin any new oil projects. As settlers let us support all First Nations as they seek to defend their lands from oil pipelines.

THE GREAT LAKES!
WATER IS A HUMAN RIGHT! ENBRIGDE NEEDS TO RECONSIDER CORPORATE GREED VS HUMAN RIGHTS? CANADA needs to control its own big oil industry from getting it out of the ground to the consumer wherever in the world that is. However, Canada does not need to bow down the US. And TRUMP. Time to become totally independent of the US.
Build the cross Canada pipeline and close all pipelines from Canada to the US.

If line 5 ruptures the US will surely blame the naughty neighbor to the north. Have you read that Line 5 carries Canadian oil and gas to the US to be used in Canada by Canadians? The US press loves to say that. If Line 5 ruptures it will of course be Canada’s fault.

However, when the renewal of a cross Canada pipeline idea first started I thought yes! This is an opportunity to get Line 5 shut down and SAVE the Great Lakes, as well as giving Canada a pipeline inside Canada, owned and controlled by Canada. Sometimes creating and fulfilling a project that may not be as popular or desirable or as lucrative as another, can have a benefit that goes beyond its purpose. I starting hoping perhaps Enbridge would invest in this cross Canada pipeline project and dismiss going forward with the tunnel they want to build around Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinaw, a much more expensive and lengthy project than the east west pipeline proposal across Canada. I have nightmares about the inevitable Line 5 rupture that will release thousands of barrels of gas and oil into the waters of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron initially. The oil and gas pollution will ultimately continue to spread throughout all five lakes and destroy the entire ecosystem. The drinking water of millions of people will no longer be drinkable. Clean water is a human right. Clean water is more precious than money and saving the Great Lakes is more honorable than the greed driving big oil. Big oil has an opportunity to do the right thing for Canada, the Great Lakes, and mankind.
