On November 16, Canadians are coming together to say “no” to the Harper government’s dirty energy plans. The Conservative government’s fossil fuel obsession has devastating environmental consequences and the tar sands are a leading source of global warming causing greenhouse gases. This Saturday, Canadians from coast to coast to coast will resist the Canadian government’s unbridled exploitation of dirty energy. Communities are taking action to strive towards a better future. Help build a united wall of opposition to pipelines, reckless tar sands expansion and runaway climate change at local events across the country.
