  • The Canadian Impact Assessment Agency is respnsible for assessing the environmental, economic social and health impacts of potential projects. Suncor's proposed project will hinder the Federal Government's ability to meet it's Climate Change committments as a signatory to the Paris Agreement.  In this agreement, Canada has committed to reducing its GHG emissions to 40-45% of its 2005 emissions.  This proposed project will increase the amount of GHGs emitted, for the life of the exploratory project, and far into the future if exploited.  At the present time the Global Carbon Budget is less than 300GT, if we are to have a 50% chance of maintaining the 1.5 degrees Celsius of Global Average Temperature increase over pre-industrial times. The Federal Government cannot approve new oil and gas projects if we are to have any hope of protecting the health of present and future Canadian generations.

  • Oui, il y a probablement du pétrole sous le Grand Banc. Mais non, il ne faut pas lancer de nouveaux projets d'exploration ou d'exploitation. La crise climatique empire; on en sent les effets partout dans le monde. L'ONU, le GIEC, tous les spécialistes le demandent : il faut freiner l'extraction et la consommation des hydrocarbures. Le Canada est parmi les plus gros émetteurs de GES. Nous avons honte à la face du monde de poursuivre dans cette voie. L'urgence n'est pas à produire encore plus d'hydrocarbures. Au contraire, tous les efforts doivent être mis sur la décarbonation de l'économie. L'avenir de l'humanité en dépend. Donc nous disons NON au projet Tilt Cove. Dans 30 ans ou 50 ans, si la situation climatique s'améliore, le pétrole sera encore là, et nos descendants pourront l'exploiter ...

  • The simple truth that scientists have repeatedly stressed and urged for years, even decades, is that fossil fuels are damaging to our planet. As the latest IPPC reports say and as was stated at COP 27, we need to stop fossil fuel extraction to avoid planetary catastrophe immediately. In 2015, Canada and almost every nation signed the Paris Agreement and pledged to reduce emissions. Yet, since signing the Paris Agreement, no country has been on track to meet its goals. Worldwide emissions have gone up, not down as they should be, and now we are on track to surpass, not limit, our global temperature to 1.5 Cº like we are supposed to.  Suncor sees life for fossil fuels beyond 2030, the year Canada has pledged to reduce its emissions by 40-45% below 2005 levels. How is the Tilt Cove project compatible with this? The Tilt Cove project cannot be approved. Fossil fuel extraction will never be clean and safe as much as some like to claim they can extract ...

  • Despite declaration of a climate emergency in 2019, Canada persists in increasing the severity of that emergency through the continued promotion and production of fossil fuels. The steadily increasing manifestations of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) are evident in Canada (2021 Pacific heat dome & current Alberta wildfires) and globally (receding cryosphere, ocean acidification, sea level rise, enhanced droughts, extreme weather events, etc.) as documented by various science agencies (NASA, NOAA, IPCC, WMO, etc.). Recent IPCC reports (ie. AR6) and National Climate Assessments (NCA1-4 USA, NCA5 pending later 2023), tell us to decrease fossil fuel combustion immediately in order to minimize the effects of the radical alteration of our biosphere currently in progress. Additional fossil fuel developments such as the Tilt Cove Exploration Drilling Project will only make AGW worse and futher consume our atmospheric CO2 budget to push global warming past the tolerance level of ...

  • An Impact Assessment Agency of Canada post via the social media outlet Twitter announcing Suncors' intention to conduct exploratory drilling in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin area is distressing. Scaling back on further exploitative and hazardous resource development while pursuing further integration along commercial lines with alternative energy production methods (and the resources required to produce economically viable returns) is prefferable. High Density Polyethylene, polyacrylonitrile(s), etc, are not going to be subject to a decrease of demand in the future. Simply put, even if the resouce deposit remains intact or unutilised, it remains available for future exploit by means of more sustainable methods of extraction as those techniques become available. Supplying nuclear energy production fascilities with the plastic products they need is a better use of the base product. Please consider lending the expertise and ever-increasing degrees of the considerable ...
