    Canadian here. Enbridge is a fuckin dbag tyrant company. You wanna really get into it? Look up how 80% of the trans-national (and evil) mining companies ransacking the environment across the globe are based here too.

    This whole Canadians are nice thing needs to go away.

      Another thing that needs to go is Canadians going, “We’re better than the US!”

      Not only is that a low bar that people use to ignore genuine problems, it also ignores how our police, government, corporations, etc. are actually about as bad, just better at hiding it

    Built in 1953. Back then you got approval from the state, who likely didn’t care about native groups.

    Watch the documentary “Bad River” about the tribe’s efforts to fight this. It’s really interesting!
