Background: Canadian oil company Enbridge is trying to build a
700-mile-long pipeline through gorgeous wilderness and waterways terminating at
a bay filled with over a dozen islands. In order to sell this dangerous
plan to the public, Enbridge -- which has a long history of oil spills -- erased
almost all of the islands from its public-facing map and video, making
the route appear safer than it actually is.
Partner: Leadnow.ca
What we want: We demanded that Enbridge pull its misleading
ads.
Current status: We delivered over 45,000 petitions
to Enbridge HQ in Vancouver, where an Enbridge employee promised to respond to
our concerns about his company's misleading ads. We doubled our impact
by also delivering petitions to Enbridge execs and the media at the Joint Review
Panel hearings in Prince Rupert, B.C.
