Say “No” to Enbridge and “Yes” to:

• uniting Canadians around a national energy strategy that promotes domestic energy security, sustainability, human and environmental health, and is in the long term interest of Canadian citizens.
• protection of water, air, and soil resources that provide food and energy for life,
• fostering healthy ecosystems that sustain wildlife, local communities and local economies,
• protecting fish and wildlife resources that are critically important to Canadians for intrinsic, ecological, cultural and economic reasons,
• meeting our domestic energy needs through low carbon alternatives,
• reducing Canada’s contribution to global carbon emissions and climate change,
• rejecting corporate profit that destroys or threatens public resources and tramples democratic process
