What is Line 9?
First Nations’ defence of their lands is spearheading resistance across Canada to the tar sands menace. In Ontario, this threat is posed by Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline, which could soon be pumping corrosive and toxic tar sands across the province.
Line 9 cuts through Toronto, north of Finch. Tar sands in Line 9 would violate indigenous land rights, menace natural environments, and threaten Toronto and communities across the province. And exploitation of Canada’s tar sands escalates climate change, posing a deadly threat to all the world’s peoples. No Line 9!
