Within 12 hours of the call being put out, four Council of Canadians chapters have signed up to take part in the #StoptheKMbuyout day of action on Monday June 4.
The Council of Canadians Regina, PEI, Saint John and South Shore chapters have all registered to host actions in front of their Liberal Member of Parliament's constituency office to express opposition to the Trudeau government's multi-billion-dollar purchase of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker project.
More chapters are likely to signal their participation in the coming days.
The Council of Canadians is working with Leadnow.ca, 350.org and other allies on this day of action this coming Monday.
The call-out for it highlights, "Dozens of First Nations still don’t have clean drinking water. We’re facing a housing crisis. Renewable energy projects are desperate for more funding. But Trudeau thinks there’s enough extra cash lying around to spend $4.5 billion buying a pipeline so risky even Kinder Morgan doesn’t think it’s a good investment? We can't let our tax dollars go to a project that violates Indigenous rights and would threaten our shared climate. The sale won’t be finalized for at least a month, and if there’s a massive backlash from voters, Trudeau could still cancel the buyout."
