Noted. Now build the pipeline for the rest of the 38 million Canadians that want it, and need it.
I for one am shocked…
They want some money is all I hear
Cheque must have been too small
What’s so frustrating is that no one is talking about WHY they don’t want a bitumen pipeline. There is no way to clean up a bitumen ocean oil spill. It would kill much of the Pacific salmon industry forever.
Do the pipe line what are they going to do to stop it? Raise an army?
Well, they can’t say they weren’t consulted. I guess now that means we can go ahead with it.
I can see why that happens because aboriginals do not use oil electricity. They hunt in their moccasins riding their horses. They also don’t use guns or anything else produced by the horrible white man so they oppose pipelines what a fucking joke.No

And just like that, Carney’s MOU and attempt at a pipeline go out with a whimper.
Good for them. The people that live on the coast have a right to oppose projects that threaten the environment the live in and depend on.
So it sounds like this is an article about the Haida who live on Haida Guaii. They oppose tanker traffic to Prince Rupert which is across the channel from them. The word omitted from the headline likely on purpose to cause controversy was “coastal” First Nations. In principle the pipeline isn’t the issue, but the tanker traffic is. So it’s pretty disingenuous to claim they’re opposed to a pipeline when that’s not even the issue being discussed.
The government has a duty to *consult* not ask permission. They supposedly know the land so they can provide advice to minimize or mitigate environmental impacts and let the planners know if there’s any sacred sites they should be mindful of.
That’s it. They can be against it all they want, but they don’t get to help the Americans break our economy and annex us. Too many of these First Nations are acting like a fifth column.
Its norhing but a shake down for cash.
When were they elected to run Canada?
Building a pipeline to one of the most hazardous stretches of ocean in the world, what could go wrong?
Move b, get out of the way.
There will be no investors for a pipeline. Thus, there will be no pipeline.
Dani Smith needs to personally conduct the discussion and negotiations.
Bc First Nations remain opposed until they all receive their newly increased bribe money fee!
Keep sending us money but don’t you dare use any of OUR land to generate it.
If you obstruct projects in the natural interest, you should not receive federal funding.
Money doesn’t grow on trees.

We should be building more refineries instead
Good for them.
How much you wanna bet most of the people in here saying they want the pipeline aren’t even on the coast. Unless you live in BC, your opinion on what affects our ecosystem means precisely jack.
9 times outta ten it’s some dude in the interior who’s never even seen the ocean.
Old news
They probably want another couple billion in free land grants
I guess he forgot to bring the drumptruck of cash with him.
One quadrillion dollars later.

Climate will be 10000x worse if we have no fucking economy.
YOU SHALL NOT PAAAAASSSSSS!
