Enbridge's Northern Gateway Pipeline project would stretch twin pipelines from Alberta to the BC coast and introduce more than 200 oil tankers a year to BC's fragile northern waters. The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and Enbridge's own oil disaster in Michigan are painful reminders that oil is not safe on land or water.
