Sign in the fight against Rabaska Project. ---- SAGUENAY - The project was in the air, but
now it is confirmed. Many American investors want to build a natural gas liquefaction
plant, a storage and transhipment at the port of Grand-Anse, in La Baie (about 15 km from
Chicoutimi). [1] Natural gas would come from wells operated in western Canada. [2] To get
the product, the project includes the construction of a gas pipeline 650 kilometers long
that would be connected to another gas ODUC belonging to TransCanada Pipelines. ----
Source: Gaz Métro ---- The operation of the natural gas sector said "unconventional",
including shale gas, is growing in these three provinces. The company that oversees the
project, LNG Quebec has already registered lobbyists in order to obtain permits and
financial support from the government.

We will not let them destroy our lives! Not to growth!
This natural gas liquefaction project has nothing to promise us that the destruction of
our environment to install a 650 km pipeline and increased marine traffic in the Marine
Park Saguenay-St-Laurent, the only the province and natural habitat of the beluga, a
species in danger of extinction. Faced with large unnecessary projects that want to bring
forward governments and multinationals, we must not only resist but to create our own
alternatives to this destructive system. We can no longer accept the crumbs that big
business is willing to offer us to '' ensure '' for a time our 'wellness'. Because make no
mistake, the only thing sustainable in their system is misery and devastation it causes.
We have a moral duty to refuse such destructive projects of the territory and our health.
Whether Mine Arnaud Sept-Îles, the project Ariadne Phosphate at Anse-à-Pelletier or the
LNG terminal in Saguenay plan is always the same harvest and the same people suffer. While
flying million to finance projects of large companies, losses are socialized. Quebec is
facing thousands of sites to be decontaminated while multinationals have earned millions.
Ransacked forests, water sources contaminated territories of First Nations looted: there
is nothing to gain let these projects that do not take into account the environment and
the people living in the territories concerned.
For a libertarian decay!
While there is a tree shaving, to harness a river, a mountain shaving for ore,
multinational, real bosses governments, will be present to derive significant benefits. Of
course, they '' create '' in exchange a few jobs in regions with high unemployment rates
in many years. But these jobs are worth in a ransacked and unlivable environment? But
above all: what will we do when the multinational will have packed up after the exhausted
soil and raised millions? If we continue down this path, we will start at square one. At
least we now decided to break this cycle of misery and exploitation, and to build together
an economy based on the satisfaction of our true needs and resource sustainability.
The call is initiated, it is the hour of resistance!

boats up to 297 meters long and 45 meters wide. [2]. Saskatchewan, Alberta and British
