With the Vancouver welcoming waves of artists for the Juno Awards, musicians Grimes and Sarah Harmer came to Burnaby to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

Former Trans Mountain engineer, Romilly Cavanaugh, was arrested Tuesday along with 11 others barricading the gates of Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby Mountain tank farm.

Burnaby RCMP made arrests after dozens of people staged a sit-in protest Burnaby Mountain today while violating a injunction to stay away from Texas-based Kinder Morgan's construction activities on Burnaby Mountain in the Greater Vancouver Region.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Affleck has granted an injunction to protect Kinder Morgan's construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, but he also agreed to protect a new "Watch House" set up to keep an eye on the Texas multinational energy company.

The audience at a B.C. Supreme Court hearing burst into laughter on Wednesday after a lawyer for Texas-based multinational energy company Kinder Morgan said that its new pipeline expansion project was "in the best interest of Canada."

The Canadian division of Texas-multinational energy company Kinder Morgan is seeking to get some money from anyone who gets in the way of its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, the company indicated in legal papers to be reviewed on Wednesday by B.C.'s Supreme Court.

The air was crisp and cold as they trekked up Burnaby Mountain early on Saturday morning. People's breath came out in white puffs as each of the volunteer construction workers each carried two planks of wood. Their goal was to build a traditional Indigenous "watch house" to monitor Texas-based Kinder Morgan as it proceeds with construction of its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

On the eve of a mass protest, Indigenous leaders and activists from across Canada vowed to do whatever it takes to stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

A lawyer for the B.C. government said Indigenous rights are increasingly being recognized in court, which may impact the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion's legal challenge.

Nervous laughter could be heard in a Vancouver courtroom Tuesday when the lawyer representing Kinder Morgan was asked whether Indigenous consent had been respected.
