Friends of the Earth Canada regrets the federal government’s decision to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline. It is inconsistent with Canada’s climate action goals. This pipeline threatens the welfare of future generations.

“It’s clear this decision is about politics and the power of the oil industry not about what’s good for Canadians,” said Beatrice Olivastri, CEO, Friends of the Earth Canada.

Friends of Earth urges all Canadians to continue the struggle for climate justice by opposing this unnecessary pipeline and demanding real climate action.
