ForestEthics, First Nations, businesses, famous individuals and other organizations all banded together to run this ad in the Globe and Mail and other outlets around the 21st anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

This was Exxon's gift to Alaska. B.C. can expect the same from Enbridge.

Twenty-one years ago, the Exxon Valdez ran aground, spilling 40 million litres of crude oil into Prince William Sound and causing irreversible damage. Now, Enbridge wants to bring the same risk to B.C.'s pristine coastal waters and rainforest.

The proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline would carry oil from the Tar Sands to a port at Kitimat, B.C. Supertankers fed by the Enbridge pipeline would travel the same waters where the Queen of the North ferry sank in 2006.

An open message to Enbridge CEO Patrick Daniel:

We oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline and crude oil tanker traffic in BC's northern coastal waters. The risk oil spills pose to First Nations, communities and the environment is too great.

Nearly 30 First nations, 50 nonprofit organizations, 50 businesses, and 30 noteworthy individuals signed on to this ad.
