Former U.S. vice-president condemns Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion on Twitter
VANCOUVER — Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore says the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is destructive and should be stopped.
The environmentalist posted a tweet Thursday saying the pipeline carrying “dirty tar sands oil” would be a step backward in efforts to solve the climate crisis.
Tar sands is considered a derogatory term by some for the oilsands in Alberta.
Gore says he stands with B.C. Premier John Horgan, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and all of the other Canadians, including First Nations, who are fighting to stop the pipeline owned by Kinder Morgan.
