Cancer Haunts Neighbors of Canada’s Oil Sands Wastelands Though high rates of the disease persist among the nearby Indigenous communities, the Canadian government is weighing rules that may allow energy giants to release treated mining waste into the river system.

⚠️ 🛢️ The same oil that’s causing cancer in First Nations communities in Canada is the same oil that travels through northern MN in dangerous oil pipelines. Read this deep dive from NYT on the harms this industry continues to cause.

Enbridge owes nearly $3 million for breaching aquifer during Line 3 construction in Minnesota The breach in Aitkin County was one of four discovered in Minnesota.

You mean the #Line3 that @governorwalz.mn.gov could have stopped, that he allowed to violate Native American treaties & has now ruined their water forever. The same #Line3 that #WaterProtectors protested & Walz set the National Guard to attack? That one? www.startribune.com/enbridge-pay...

Tim Walz is an ecocidal criminal. He pushed through Trump's tar sands pipeline #Line3 in violation of laws and treaties, resulting in massive destruction to the headwaters of the Mississippi and land, including sacred rice fields of the Anishinaabe people. landstewardshipproject.org/line-3-envir...

So @governorwalz.mn.gov says that #Minnesota is a place where #CivicEngagement & #CommunityOversight including documenting #LawEnforcement is valued is the same guy who sicced cops on Water Protectors at #Line3 protests right? How about less "strongly worded letters" and MORE ACTUAL ACTIONS Guv!

@Earthjustice.org Name the administration who broke the law in this massive illegal oil lease sale in the Gulf.
It was the Biden administration, who also approved "game over for climate" #Willow and stood by while Tim Walz pushed through the illegal, massively destructive #Line3 tar sands pipeline.

@governorwalz.mn.gov is an ecocidal criminal who pushed through Trump's #Line3 tar sands pipeline, violating laws and treaties and destroying the headwaters of the Mississippi on behalf of Enbridge, who punctured aquifers and polluted the area. www.mepartnership.org/more-aquifer...

I blame @governorwalz.mn.gov for this. He had the power to #NoOnLine3 and chose money over Environment & Treaty Rights. He betrayed the Native People of Minnesota. He did this. Now that they've gutted EPA & Penalties he owns the full environmental destruction of MN & its water from #Line3

Minnesota trades with 🇨🇦 Canada a lot
