WHY: On April 25 TransCanada is holding their annual shareholders
meeting. TransCanada is trying to build the North Central Corridor
pipeline on unceded Lubicon land, without Lubicon permission.
TransCanada has applied for regulatory approval through the provincial
AUC, which has no legal jurisdiction over unceded Lubicon land.  The
Lubicon have many unanswered questions about a pipeline this size,
such as health and environmental impacts.  The

“If TransCanada tries to build this pipeline across unceded Lubicon
Territory without Lubicon consent — based on approval of an
application to an Alberta Government regulatory agency that does not
have legitimate authority in unceded Lubicon Territory — the Lubicon
people will oppose it every inch of the way, every way we can, for as
long as TransCanada Pipelines tries to operate in Lubicon Territory.”-
Lubicon Cree Nation’s statement to the AUC on Monday April 14th, 2008

The UN has called for a moratorium on oil and gas development until
there is a just settlement between the Lubicon Cree Nation and the
Government of Canada.
We will be picketing the TransCanada shareholders meeting, handing out
pamphlets to those attending, and making some noise! Come join us to
let TransCanada shareholders know that the world is watching!
