On Friday, TransCanada's Northeast Regional Office in Westborough will see its third Keystone XL Pipeline protest this year.
Veterans For Peace and others will demonstrate at 1 p.m., according to an event listing organizers submitted to Westborough Patch on Thursday.
Organizers also have set up a Facebook page for the event, at 110 Turnpike Road, Suite 203.
"Bring signs and your voices to protest the KXL pipeline! Join members of Veterans For Peace and others to fight against the war on Mother Earth," the Facebook page says.
Pipeline opponents have protested at TransCanada on Jan. 7 and March 11.
Eight people were arrested on Jan. 7. Their next Westborough District Court date is April 8.
The 25 people arrested during the March 11 protest have been placed on pre-trial probation for three months, and ordered to stay away from TransCanada.

Enough is enough. I get the protests, but where will all our energy in the future come from? Natural Gas from fracking? Netflix "Gasland" and see how you'll feel about fracking for gas. (btw, how will the protesters show up, on bikes and walk? Then I'd be impressed.....)

most of the product shipped through the pipeline will probably be refined in Texas refineries owned by Saudi princes and then exported so what's in it for us? Some short term construction jobs and a few hundred full time maintenance jobs? fact is we don't need tar sands oil as we are drilling so much now that the US will be energy independent by 2025, most likely. The pipeline will be great for TransCanada's bottom line but I don't see a whole lot of upside otherwise.

Wind, solar, and other new renewables - we don't need to burn any more fossil fuels - especially the extremely toxic tarsands oil. Please read about the poisons in the water, land and air caused by the extraction of tarsands oil - even before the burning of it. http://www.sierraclub.org/dirtyfuels/tar-sands/faces/intro.aspx
