Stephen Harper just approved a mega tar-oil pipeline that would slice through the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest and put its fragile ecosystem at risk. But one woman stands in the way and our massive outcry could help her put the pipeline on ice for good.
B.C.'s Premier Christy Clark has said she won't green-light the project, unless it meets several of her economic and environmental conditions and a clear majority of B.C. residents want to stop or delay the pipeline. But with it's recent federal approval the pressure on Clark is mounting and now-more-than-ever we need her to stand strong against this climate killer.
Clark has the power to put the brakes on this reckless project, and as Premier she needs to listen to our call. Click now to tell Clark that we're counting on her to be our climate champion by rejecting the pipeline. When we reach 100,000 signatures, it'll be delivered straight to the Premier in Vancouver.

Enbridge insists that their pipeline -- criss-crossing an astounding 1,177km from Alberta's dirty tar sands to the B.C. coast -- will be safe. But their abysmal track record with over 800 oil spills in the last decade tells another story. In 2010, it took them 17 hours take action on a disastrous oil spill in Michigan, even though they knew the pipeline was corroded years before it happened!
Amidst enormous public outcry, Clark has listed a series of demands -- including strict oil-spill response systems, protection of aboriginal rights, and more economic benefits to B.C. -- before she gives the project the go ahead. She realizes that the risks of the pipeline could outweigh the rewards and with a massive outcry we can make sure she not only holds her ground, but pushes further and protects the planet from this pipeline altogether.
Harper's recent approval of the pipeline is amping up the pressure on Clark to act but we can still come together and demand that she keeps Alberta's deadly tar oil at bay. Sign here and forward to all your friends and family:

The journey ahead won't be easy -- Harper stopped listening to Canadians about the environment a long time ago. But our movement has never been stronger. Let's act now to protect our country and the world from deadly tar-oil.
With hope,
