Pressure Mounts Against Line 3 Pipeline Project $3 billion tar sands pipeline expansion project faces renewed resistance from Indigenous rights activists and environmentalists.

Work on the controversial pipeline moved forward at the end of last year despite an undecided, tribally-led lawsuit requesting a court injunction to halt construction.
