Stop Pipeline Approvals: Stop Making Climate Change Worse
(I am hopeful you will appreciate the concern that I share will many people about a the moral dilemna we face between climate and lifestyle: energy and ecology: fossil fuels and growth.)
Hamilton 350 Committee invites you to a RALLY on Tuesday, January 26 at 11 am at the Federal Building (55 Bay Street, near York Blvd) in Hamilton. We are calling on the Trudeau government to keep its election promises and halt the broken National Energy Board pipeline hearings.
During the recent federal election campaign, Prime Minister Trudeau and his party promised to include climate change in pipeline reviews and to respect community voices – especially First Nations. Their election platform promised to “replace Mr. Harper’s changes to the environmental assessment process” including a pledge to “modernize and rebuild trust in the National Energy Board” and “move towards a system where federal environmental assessments of projects include an analysis of upstream impacts and the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the projects being assessed”. Events in the past week indicate those promises are being broken.
The Kinder Morgan (Trans Mountain) NEB hearings resumed last Tuesday despite multiple protests, including civil disobedience, by First Nations, the mayor of Burnaby and other British Columbians. We stand in solidarity with those demanding suspension of these hearings. The Trans Mountain project would triple bitumen flows across southern BC and out through Vancouver harbour.
Last week also brought the proposed 4600 km Energy East pipeline back into the public eye. The City of Montreal and municipal governments representing over half the people of Quebec declared their opposition to this scheme to ship bitumen across Ontario and five other provinces to be exported through Saint John, New Brunswick. Elected officials in Alberta and Saskatchewan are attacking the principled stand of Montreal.
Fossil fuels are the main cause of climate change and our poisoned atmosphere, and their extraction and spills devastate the land. Why is anyone trying to increase the extraction, transportation and use of materials that must be phased out? Please join us on Tuesday morning to demand the Trudeau government keeps its promises and suspends NEB pipeline reviews. Stand in solidarity with First Nations and all those threatened by the Trans Mountain and Energy East pipelines.

Also see the section of this message entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.” First, let’s see what’s new on the market this week.

NEWS AND NOTES
This week Hope for Health has added Alfalfa Sprouts to the market. Alfalfa Sprouts are tender and appropriate for use in salads, sandwiches and soups.
KIC Produce has added both a spring and a summer CSA. The spring CSA will run for 8 consecutive weeks beginning the week of April 24. The summer CSA will run for 12 consecutive weeks beginning the week of June 19. Both are being discounted on the market till Feb 14.
Q: “What is Customer Supported Agriculture (CSA)?”
A: A CSA program is a great way to connect with your local farmer and insure that you receive choice, freshly harvested produce each week. A typical share will provide you with a wide variety of produce at the peak of harvest.
Delicious Nutritious Bread is still on vacation this week.
