Should they approve the Teck Frontier tar sands mega-mine, and kill Canada’s climate targets to appease pro-oil premiers like Jason Kenney? Or should they listen to climate science, put our future first and Reject Teck? We’ve got a plan to ramp up the pressure on ministers, convince them the mine is politically toxic, and show them it isn’t worth risking climate disaster over -- but we can't do it without you. Join our ONLINE webinar and hear how you can support the campaign to stop the toxic Teck tar sands mine.
