Worried Citizens Across Canada and US Mark Anniversary of Costliest Pipeline 
Spill in US History
Enbridge's toxic tar sands goo still in water as company wants to build more 
pipelines. 

TORONTO, July 25, 2012 /CNW/ - Landowners, environmentalists and community 
organizers across the United States and Canada today reminded citizens about 
the dangerous spills caused by Canadian pipeline company Enbridge Inc. on the 
second anniversary of the largest inland oil spill, and costliest, in US 
history. The company's negligence has come under increased scrutiny following a 
damning report from the US government. 

Public events against future pipelines carrying hard to clean up tar sands oil 
took place in 29 cities, including Montreal, Toronto and Edmonton and in 
smaller communities including Bella Bella and Smithers. 

"An Enbridge spill could happen in Canada at any time, which is a tremendous 
concern given that the toxic goo in tar sands sinks and is proving impossible 
to remove from water,"  said Adam Scott of Environmental Defence. The group, 
along with ForestEthics, Greenpeace, Sierra Club Prairie and 350, held events 
across Canada.
