No Pipelines, No Tankers, No Tar Sands! | Wilderness Committee

No Pipelines, No Tankers, No Tar Sands! | Wilderness Committee: "A mass civil disobedience action has been called for the end of August in Washington DC to pressure the US government to stop approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline proposed to carry tar sands crude oil from northern Alberta to refineries in Illinois, Oklahoma and the U.S. Gulf Coast. At the same time, here in the Lower Mainland, we will spotlight and protest the tar sands pipeline in our own backyard -- in North Burnaby.

Organized by the Council of Canadians, Tanker Free BC, Streams of Justice, StopThePave.org and the Wilderness Committee."
