Dear Members,
As you may know, Enbridge’s Line 5 is the sole supplier of feedstock (Alberta
crude) to several refineries built and maintained by our Brothers and Sisters
at Sarnia’s Local 663, and has been the backbone of Ontario’s infrastructure
for almost ¾ of a century. Michigan’s Governor Whitmer is attempting to shut
Line 5 down, risking 50,000 jobs and severely impacting our way of life
as we know it, as well as disrupting the economies and infrastructure of all of
Ontario, Quebec, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Indiana. Fuel
supplies for heating to rural areas would be cut, as would fuel supplies for
agriculture, fuel shortages for transportation, combined with substantially
higher fuel costs at the pump, and major hubs of transportation such as
Toronto’s Pearson Airport, Montreal, Quebec City, and Detroit Metro Airports
would be left without a supply of fuel altogether.
Please take 2 minutes to protect the future of our
Families, and click the attached link to sign our Parliamentary petition to
demand that PM Trudeau take action, and address the issue aggressively
with the incoming Biden administration.
Don’t forget to watch for the confirmation email to complete the petition. Our future in your hands. Our lifestyle as we know it will drastically change if we don’t act NOW! Stand and make your voices heard!
