Canadians should be concerned that Canada\u2019s \u2018world class\u2019 spill response system couldn\u2019t contain the largest spill in Newfoundland\u2019s history &#8211; a spill that has now been deemed impossible to clean-up. It should also be a wake-up call to the government if rough conditions &#8211; which are found on both the east and west coast &#8211; can thwart spill clean-up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This underwater pipeline spill is an especially timely reminder of our spill clean-up limitations as the National Energy Board is looking at bringing 400 bitumen filled tankers right through the heart of endangered orca whale habitat on the west coast, \u00a0by endorsing the Trans Mountain Expansion project. If we can\u2019t deal with accidents when they happen we shouldn\u2019t be adding more threats to the mix.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-END-<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please write to press@greenpeace.ca or contact (514) 933-0021 * 1014 (Communications).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 21, 2018 (BRITISH-COLUMBIA) &#8211; It has been confirmed that the largest oil spill Newfoundland has witnessed two days ago cannot be cleaned up. \u00a0In response to that, Mike Hudema,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":2152,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3,5],"tags":[23,25,29,31,32],"p4-page-type":[14],"class_list":["post-6137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-climate","category-nature","category-our-work","tag-climate","tag-energysolutions","tag-indigenous","tag-oceans","tag-oil","p4-page-type-press-release"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6137"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6148,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6137\/revisions\/6148"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6137"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=6137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
