Activists Block Tar Sands Oil Pipes in the Port of Montreal
Kayakers join a protest in the Port of Montreal to highlight the risk of an oil spill in the St. Lawrence River. Earlier, Greenpeace Canada climbing activists occupied the pipes used to load tar sands oil onto tankers in the Port of Montreal and hang a banner saying: “Stop Pipelines: Protect Our Water and Climate”. Other activists locked themselves to the front gate. The action follows the federal approval of the Kinder Morgan and Line 3 pipelines and is intended to send a message of pan-Canadian opposition to new pipelines to the December 8-9 First Ministers’ meeting on climate change.

Des activistes de Greenpeace Canada bloquent les tours de chargements de pétrole des sables bitumineux du terminal de la Ligne 9b au Port de Montréal
Des activistes de Greenpeace Canada ont escaladé les tours destinées à charger le pétrole des sables bitumineux dans les pétroliers au terminal de la Ligne 9b de Enbridge, dans le Port de Montréal. Ils tiennent une bannière sur laquelle il est inscrit “Stop pipelines : Protégeons l’eau et le climat”. Cette action fait suite à de récentes et inquiétantes révélations sur la sécurité de ce pipeline et à l’approbation par le gouvernement fédéral du pipeline de Kinder Morgan et de celui d’Enbridge (Ligne3). Elle exprime également un message pancanadien d’opposition contre les pipelines, alors que les premiers ministres du Canada se réuniront pour discuter des changements climatiques les 8 et 9 décembre prochain.

Activists Block Tar Sands Oil Pipes in the Port of Montreal
Greenpeace Canada climbing activists occupy the pipes used to load tar sands oil onto tankers in the Port of Montreal and hang a banner saying: “Stop Pipelines: Protect Our Water and Climate”. Other activists lock themselves to the front gate, and kayakers join the protest later in the day to highlight the risk of an oil spill in the St. Lawrence River. The action follows the federal approval of two tar sands pipelines and is intended to send a message of pan-Canadian opposition to new pipelines to the December 8-9 First Ministers’ meeting on climate change.
“Across the country, we stand united against new tar sands pipelines that would break our commitments to the climate and to First Nations. We are not going to sit idle while our government approves new tar sand oil mines and pipelines to carry it,” says climber activist Marie-Eve Robert, who is one of the climber activists chained to a tar sands oil loading pipe. “Our message to Prime Minister Trudeau and other Premiers is clear: you can’t be a climate leader and approve new pipelines. Climate leaders will get our support, but pipeline builders will meet fierce resistance.”
