Jason Kenney's government has launched an inquiry into who funds groups that criticize Alberta’s oil industry.

I want to make this perfectly clear.

I do not support the building of more pipelines.

I do not support using my tax dollars to build a pipeline.

I do not support your non-truths about foreign support for those protesting pipelines when, by far, the biggest amount of money and lobbying is done by the fossil fuel industry and related corporate interests.

I do not support your dictatorial views that the democratic right to protest and disagree with your agenda should be throttled.

I do not support your opinion that short term gain at the expense of the health of the planet trumps the long term pain of climate change run amok.

You are on the wrong side of history on this, and many other issues, and you will not win.

I think it’s important that we protect our environment and think about future generations.

I oppose the Trans Mountain pipeline for all the reasons that you have already heard. This is not about Alberta or Canada, this is about the world.

Hi Jason I support the Canadian People, I support their jobs, their safety and their future prospects. I am a Canadian citizen and I spend my own money and time protecting my friends and family from your desire to protect profits. I firmly oppose this and all new pipelines.

Please get your head out of the sand Mr Kenny. Climate change is huge and the proof

of the pudding is in your endless fires that are destroying Alberta. DO NO mess with

British Columbia too, bad enough you cannot govern and protect Alberta lands, leave us

out of your small minded plans you morally bankrupt man.

It is deplorable that you are clinging still to fossil fuels when so many nations are weaning themselves off oil. Countless Canadians want Canada to move forward to cleaner energy.

I oppose the Trans Pipeline

I am against the Trans Mountain Pipeline

I have lived in Alberta and I still have many dear friends, family, children, and grandchildren there. How could I wish ill to Albertans? They are my family. On the contrary, I wish them all the best. I wish they had a more stable economy, not one so deeply dependent on a single industry, well known for its ups and downs. Alberta is such a beautiful province, and it is the richest in Canada in renewable energy — solar, geothermal, and wind. Alberta could be a triple threat renewable energy powerhouse! Diverse economies always produce more stable prosperity. Moreover, renewables create many more well-paying jobs than fossil fuels, because they do not lend themselves to automation the way fossil fuel extraction does. More jobs have been lost from automation in Alberta than to lack of pipelines. And the skills needed in renewable energy are very transferable from existing fossil fuel jobs — pipe fitters, electricians, metal workers, geologists, and more — all needed for wind, solar, and geothermal. A positive will is all that is needed to create a just transition to renewable energy in Alberta that leaves no one behind.


Yes, I am one of the many people opposed to the TMX pipeline. I’ve made a careful study of the issues, and I’m opposed for many reasons: carbon footprint, aboriginal rights, climate emergency, environmental risks to the land, air and water, and because the business case for this pipeline is so deeply flawed. I donate what I can to support this cause, like thousands of other ordinary Canadians, and I also volunteer my time because I am so deeply concerned about the future planet we are leaving for our children and grandchildren. I’m not a foreign funded radical; I’m a middle class retired person who would much rather be spending my time and money enjoying retirement after a lifetime of hard work, including raising fine children who are also contributing to the prosperity of this country. But my conscience won’t let me back away from this fight.


It deeply disturbs me to see politicians blindly doing the bidding of the fossil fuel companies, spreading lies and half truths, fomenting division between provinces, peoples, and families. Politicians are our employees; they should be promoting the welfare of citizens, not big corporations. In particular, I deplore the witch hunt being fomented right now against groups that criticize Alberta’s fossil fuel industry. It endangers our cherished rights of freedom of speech and assembly. And I find it especially galling to see pipeline opponents accused of being foreign-funded radicals when the fossil fuel companies operating our country are largely foreign owned. No one complains about all the foreign money they spend here on false advertising campaigns promoting their business!

I was 10 years old on July 20, 1969 when I saw the earth filmed from the moon by the crew of Appolo11. From that day on, I know that our planet is a privileged place in the middle of the sidereal void. Protecting her is an absolute duty.

That’s why I’m funding the fight against pipelines.

Dear Jason Kenney,


I am an Albertan that strongly opposes the Trans Mountain Pipeline and Tanker Project.

We have taken enough from this planet and the life it sustains which is not ours for the taking in the first place.

So many of us are waking up to that fact…why can’t you?

I meet many people that are truly wanting a clean, green and healthy solution that doesn’t take away from the planet and the life it sustains but allows us to give back for a change!


The whole oil and gas thing is old, repetitive, unhealthy, harmful and taxing on the environment. Put money towards projects that benefit “all of us” including the life we share this planet with!


Concerned Resident of Alberta.

Jason, you need to have vision about the future. Unfortunately, the fossil fuel companies could have gone into renewables a long time ago. The Oil or Tar Sands is the most if not one of the most polluted areas in the world and a pipeline would promote its existence. Time to end the Bitumen story of dirty oil.

We have a climate emergency. We have been given 12 years to act. Keep the tar in the sands!

Please stop this madness and end the pipelines!

We care about the next generations that will live on this planet. You will be dead in 20 or so years. So what if you accumulate million$. Don’t destroy our Coast of BC and don’t destroy northern Alberta. Time to wake up to the new realities.

Premiere Kenney,

I oppose expanding the Trans Mountain pipeline. I am a Canadian, living adjacent to the pipeline in rural BC. I find your confrontational attitude, your silly sound bites, and your complete denial of the relationship between fossil fuel extraction and climate change appalling. Global warming is ‘the’ existential issue for society. The science behind this is long-standing and irrefutable. As a well informed stakeholder, you must know this. To pretend otherwise is simply disingenuous.


Opposition to pipelines does not equate to an attack on Alberta. I deeply appreciate that the Alberta economy is intimately tied to fossil fuel extraction. It is truly unfortunate that many of my friends, relations, and fellow Canadians depend on that industry for their livelihood. An understanding and caring government would make transitioning to a green economy a priority. Unfortunately, industry captured politicians, like yourself, would rather stoke fear and feelings of persecution than do the difficult work of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.


Opposition to expanding Trans Mountain is rooted in a deep love of our children. It springs from a concern for their future. Shame on you for questioning that commitment. I encourage you to examine your own motivations. Threatening your neighbors is infantile, threatening to break up Canada is seditious.


Pipeline expansion is not needed (or even viable) to assure economic security. Even as time runs out, leaders like yourself can set a better course. No serious person is suggesting we shut down the oilfields tomorrow. But, we all must face the facts. Climate change is a growing and dangerous threat. We cannot address that threat and expand our fossil fuel production. Please stop your misinformation campaign and reconsider what’s truly best for the future of Albertans and Canadians alike.

Please add my name to those who love this Canada, this planet, and all our brothers and sisters living now and in the future.

I am opposed to the tar sands, any and all pipelines in Canada (especially if they go outside of Alberta), protecting big oil, corporate welfare for big oil, any laws that hinder the pipeline protesters and their freedom of speech as well as any laws stopping renewable energy.

I am hopeful, Mr Kenney, that you do understand that the CLIMATE CRISIS we face is a global – A GLOBAL crisis. If there is foreign money along side homeland monies, rightfully so! Take the 2 some-odd million dollars you are spending to look for financing issues regarding our climate crisis and survival, retrain some of your oil workers and get some green energy projects up and making money there-by helping our planet, not contributing greatly to the CLIMATE CRISIS. Thank you.

Why are you wasting precious money questioning the democratic process? Is that what you want to stop? Is that what you want to spend money on? Why not use the money to clean up the environment, to look for renewable sources of energy that prevent the pollution and the thousands of dollars spent on health care and all the other remedial actions. Let us protect our future even if you want to ruin it

We cuurently have plastic molecules in our rainwater our drinking water and our feces. Increasing your personal wealth is not the way to fight this. Stop servicing the interests of Personal Wealth and do something for human kind.

This is the letter I just sent to Jason Kenney. You can send one to via Coast Protectors (read the article):

Attention Jason Kenney, Doug Schweitzer, Sonya Savage and Steve Allan

I don’t want the Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker project.

I oppose the continued breakneck expansion of the tar sands.

I want Canada to be on the path to a clean energy economy of the future, not the past.


I am not an enemy of the state. I am not the enemy of Alberta. Your kangaroo court is an affront to democracy and is a danger to Canada.


I donate money to environmental causes. I support First Nations lawsuits challenging fossil fuel infrastructure through their territory without their consent. I help fund lawsuits to protect the Southern Resident Killer Whales.


You don’t need to throw away millions of dollars of Alberta taxpayer money to find out who opposes Trans Mountain. I do.


If you think the trustworthy Chinese will buy Alberta oil, I have some waterfront property in the high Arctic to sell you.

Dear Mr. Kenney, So you want to know who is protesting the expansion of pipelines, specifically the Trans Mountain? It is people like ME, a retired 67 year old grandmother of almost 6 who is scared to death of the future we are leaving to our grandchildren. I give money to environmental causes whenever I can and I speak out. I am a nobody; no environmental group has coerced or brainwashed me. I have READ the IPCC Report on climate and I have been following the growing climate crisis most of my life and I thought we would come to our senses long before this. People like you are the problem, sir. You are trying to deny that our ever increasing dependence on fossil fuel is not heating up the planet beyond sustainability. Shame on you, Jason Kenney! How do you sleep at night? Back to my first point, don’t waste your money searching for all of us " dangerous climate activists". My name is Pat Smith. I live in Barrie, Ontario and I am not going to take this ridiculous misinformation about environmentalists quietly. When did being concerned about our environment become a bad thing? Step away from looking at the planet simply through the eyes of the " economy" and you will realize we can’t breathe money.
