Enbridge Line 9 Work Disrupted as Demonstrators Demand an End to Tar Sands, Fracking
Port Hope — Opponents of Enbridge’s Line 9 Tar Sands and fracking pipeline
are in Port Hope at the site of testing operations of the controversial
pipeline. Enbridge is conducting newly mandated hydrostatic testing on

wrought by the tar sands and fracking fields,” says demonstrator Niloofar
