[Note: change of date!]

Finance Minister Bill Morneau just announced a multibillion bailout package for Kinder Morgan. As he was peppered with questions by skeptical reporters, all I could think of was that day in November 2016 when thousands of us marched to demand Justin Trudeau live up to his campaign promises of a proper assessment of this risky pipeline and tanker project for carcinogenic diluted bitumen. 

Instead, he and his government decided to trample Indigenous title and rights, ignore oncoming climate chaos and double down on dirty tar sands oil. 

Take a few deep breaths and remember, we are here for the land, the air, the water and those who can't speak for themselves, the whales and the salmon. 

We need to show Kinder Morgan's investors that the risk we create as Protectors can't be controlled, no matter how many billions of taxpayer dollars Justin Trudeau is prepared to throw at them

Please join us in Vancouver tonight at the 'No Bailout, No Kinder Morgan' rally at Science World, at 5:30 pm. RSVP by text or on Facebook. 

Bailing out a project that is collapsing under its own weight while legal challenges from Six First Nations are outstanding and Protectors are on the ground resisting is a fool's errand. 

We need to show these fossil fools that we are not going to sit down quietly while they drive us off the climate chaos cliff. 

RSVP now: No Bailout, No Kinder Morgan

With fierce solidarity and implacable resolve,

Sarah and the Coast Protectors team

PS. If you can't make it to a rally, send Trudeau and his cabinet a message and let them know that we are not giving up because they made another bad decision. Send your #NoKMBailout email now:
