Action Alert: Report on Northern Gateway Deeply Flawed | Sierra Club Canada

You can sign this...
This is what 300 scientists are saying about the Northern Gateway environmental assessment:
  1. Failed to adequately articulate the rationale for its findings;
  2. Considered only a narrow set of risks but a broad array of benefits, thereby omitting adequate consideration of key issues;
  3. Relied on information from the proponent, without external evaluation;
  4. Contradicted scientific evidence contained in official government documents; and
  5. Treated uncertain risks as unimportant risks, and assumed these
    would be negated by the proponent’s yet-to-be-developed mitigation
    measures.
