Who are we?

We are a collective based out of Hamilton, Ontario, who are working on preventing Enbridge's plan to bring Tar Sands oil into Ontario through the Line 9 reversal.

What is Line 9?
Enbridge's Line 9 oil pipeline runs from Montreal to Sarnia.

In late July, the National Energy Board approved a plan by Enbridge to reverse the flow of their Line 9 pipeline all the way from Sarnia to Westover, and they are currently seeking approval to move it to Montreal. Although Enbridge denies it, this is part of a plan to move Tar Sands oil from Alberta to ports on the Atlantic coast. On its way, this oil will have to go through Hamilton, stopping at the Westover Terminal near Westover Rd and Concession 6 W in Flamborough.

As you all certainly know: “The Tar Sands 'Gigaproject' is the largest industrial project in human history and likely also the most destructive. The tar sands mining procedure releases at least three times the CO2 emissions as regular oil production and is slated to become the single largest industrial contributor in North America to Climate Change (oilsandstruth.org).” The human and environmental costs of the Tar Sands are staggering, and there is an accelerating movement to stop the flow of Tar Sands oil – if they can't ship it, they can't afford to take it out of the ground.
