On Wednesday, march 19th, protestors gathered in Montreal at the Viau metro station in order to protest against the approval by the National Energy Board's decision to approve the reversal plan for Enbridge's line 9. Not only are the Tar Sands causing extensive and irreversible damage to the environment, the transport of these materials in this old pipeline would highly increase the possibility of pipeline breaks and damaging spills. Native communities and environmental activists are fighting against this project. CKUT's Amelie Phillipson spoke about it with Amanda Lickers, Vanessa Gray and Shirley Ceravolo, and filed this report. This report aired on CKUT's news program Off the Hour.
