Today the Indigenous Environmental Network and Leech Lake tribal members and several Canadian groups began outreach to the State Department, intent on illuminating key issues for Sec. Hillary Clinton to deny the permit.
IEN and the Leech Lake tribe suggested that there are lawsuits, pending eminent domain issues and even Eagle habitat at risk that would make any approval premature.
In related news, Canadian groups sent a letter to Secretary Clinton refuting the dirty oil sands lobby’s spin that the if the U.S. doesn’t take the oil sands, it will be sold elsewhere.
