About two dozen protesters took to the streets of downtown Peterborough on Monday afternoon to protest the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
They group held placards spelling out “Stop Kinder Morgan” – the Kinder Morgan Canada project which was approved federally in 2016 for a pipeline to extend from Alberta’s oil tar sands to British Columbia.
A recent poll suggests more than 60 per cent of Canadians are in favour of $7.4 billion project.
“Kinder Morgan represents one of the worst things Canada is doing to extract carbon out of the soil,” said protester Herb Wiseman. “And to send it to other countries and then the other countries will make it into something and we have to buy it back with the money they paid us for the oil. It’s all crazy economics.”
