Coastal GasLink

Members of the remote First Nation in northern B.C. are expecting conflict with police to come at any moment. “Nobody slept well last night,” said Jennifer Wickham, a Gidimt'en Clan member

Talks between the First Nation, Coastal GasLink and the B.C. government ended without resolution Tuesday night. The community fears violence may be imminent ⁠— especially as at least three of the same commanding officers who spearheaded last year’s RCMP sweep of the area appear to be leading the charge again.

The allegations come hours after the RCMP pledged to stand down in the conflict over the Coastal GasLink pipeline. Both sides say they have evidence to back up their account, but only the Wet'suwet'en said they were willing to make it public at this time.

Imagine that the police are blocking the entrance to your neighbourhood. That’s the situation Wet’suwet’en people have been in since the RCMP set up a ‘checkpoint’ along the road leading to their territory in northern B.C., said Harsha Walia of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.

A former member of an anti-racism committee at the United Nations says she stands by its statement in support of the Wet'suwet'en hereditary clan chiefs.

Wet’suwet’en Nation territory in northern British Columbia is just one example of a dispute over unceded land. Community members there are currently fighting to block the Coastal GasLink pipeline.

The B.C government is considering whether to let the project proceed without looking at how it would affect the $2-million Unist'ot'en Healing Centre.

A natural gas pipeline project has polarized many communities across northern British Columbia in a dispute a Wet'suwet'en elder says he hopes will be resolved through dialogue.

“The whole experience was dehumanizing,” said Delee Alexis Nikal, one of the complainants, who is Wet’suwet’en from the Gidimt’en Clan.

A natural gas pipeline across northern British Columbia is vital to the region's economic future and it will be built despite the objections of some Indigenous leaders, Premier John Horgan said on Monday, January 13, 2020.

Thirty-nine kilometres down a snow covered logging road, four men chop wood and work to erect a canvas wall tent in a pullout area.

A natural gas pipeline company has posted an injunction order giving opponents 72 hours to clear the way toward its work site in northern British Columbia, although the company says its focus remains finding a peaceful resolution that avoids enforcement.

On the first anniversary of the RCMP's enforcement of an injunction against opponents of a natural gas pipeline in northern British Columbia, First Nation hereditary chiefs said the company behind the project is not welcome on their traditional territory.

The UCP government in Alberta refuses to respect Indigenous rights, says Alberta NDP energy critic Irfan Sabir.

The company building a natural gas pipeline as part of a $40 billion liquefied natural gas project in northern British Columbia says it plans to resume construction despite an eviction notice served by members of a First Nation over the weekend.
