SUMMARY:Message to McKenna: We Stand with North Saskatchewan
DESCRIPTION:There is a 99 percent chance 2016 will be the hottest year on record. \nThis would be the third record-setting year in a row. \nThe Liberal government talks a good game about stopping climate change. But Justin Trudeau is still talking about building pipelines to transport oil\, despite thousands of oil spills per year\, infringement on Indigenous rights\, and Fort McMurray going up in flames. \nIn the wake of the Husky Oil Spill\, two things are clear: \n1) We must gather in solidarity with those affected\n2) We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground. \nEnvironment Minister Catherine McKenna is coming to Halifax to join Halifax MP Andy Fillmore for a $125-per-ticket Liberal Party fundraiser at Seven Bays. Join us outside the event where we will let them know that talk’s not enough to stop climate change – we need action now\, despite what profitable oil companies want.

SUMMARY:Calling all Lnu and Allies for a gathering against Alton Gas
DESCRIPTION:We are callling on all available and interested Allies and Lnu to join us in our efforts to protect the Shubenacadie River\, our sacred ceremonial flags were removed from the river site\, our elder was threatened to be arrested as he attempted to put them back up. Our women were turned away from conducting ceremony and today Alton sends a letter saying it is concerned about our safety in their industrial zone. \nWe are worried about the safety of the water and species that rely on the Shubenacadie River. There are endangered species and critical habitat that Canada and Alton are set on destroying. \nThere are currently no environmental protections or legal recourse in Canada or Nova Scotia to prove needed protections. \nWe will be having a gathering at 106 highway 224\, overlooking the SHubie river\, Will need signs and flags\, man power and prayers for the water\, women water warriors\, allies.
