Stop the Enbridge Pipeline Handout!
Don’t let our communities get locked into 20-year deals that put corporate profits ahead of local needs.
Why it matters:
It’s a drain on your taxes: An outdated law forces municipalities to pay 35% of the cost whenever Enbridge needs to move its pipes for essential road or bridge repairs. These costs are passed directly to local taxpayers.
It’s a corporate handout: Unlike in Alberta and British Columbia, where municipalities charge fair fees for utility access, Ontario forces cities to give Enbridge free use of public land.
It blocks affordable options: New 20-year “zombie contracts” lock communities into expensive fossil fuel infrastructure until 2046, even though more affordable energy options are available today.
The Ford government just said they won’t fix this—only your voice can change their minds.
