Massive Alberta oilsands project up for discussion as protesters plan rally in Vancouver – 660 NEWS
From reading the Calgary Herald and the Edmonton Journal, one would think this project is approved by just about everyone. It isn’t true.
Meanwhile, demonstrators are gearing up for a rally in downtown
Vancouver as well as on the North Shore on Tuesday. They’re going to be
pushing the federal government to reject the project by B.C.-based Teck
Resources, citing environmental concerns.
“We will be starting our protest at Teck Industries headquarters on
Burrard Street and we will host some political theatre there, and then
we will continue by marching down, getting on the SeaBus and going to
Minister Wilkinson’s constituency office in North Vancouver,” protester
Ohmri Haven said.
Haven said the goal is to raise awareness, and said the oilsands
project would be built — if approved — amid climate emergency
declarations.
