Trans Mountain pipeline protesters rally ahead of final Ottawa decision | CBC News
Protesters on Sunday called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to “walk the climate emergency talk” and reject the expansion of the pipeline, which the federal government purchased from Kinder Morgan last summer for $4.5 billion.
Chief Judy Wilson of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs says elders in her territory east of Kamloops are resolved to continue opposing the project in the event it is approved.
She says the Canadian government does not have jurisdiction over unceded territory — referring to land that has not been surrendered to or acquired by the Crown — and anticipates communities along the pipeline route will continue to push back.
