Embridge Inc. is planning on creating a “Northern Gateway pipeline” in order to transport bitumen to Asia, however, this project causes many problems with the First Nations people as they would be building these pipelines over their territories. As a First Nation myself, I appose this project entirely as it has the potential to destroy some of our sacred territories. Although Embridge proposes that this project would in fact benefit the First Nations as it would increase job availabilities as well as increase training and education, there are high risks of bitumen spills throughout the ecosystem where not only the First Nations live, but also is home to numerous species.

Ultimately I believe that as Embridge is a Canadian company, they should be opposed to creating these pipelines as it would harm the home of the First Nations of our nation, but also our land. Canadians are proud to say that we have some of the most beautiful and untouched lands in the world, and it would be a shame if we do not keep this going. Although in the long term these pipelines would benefit Canada’s economy, there would always be an alternative route to achieve this success.
