Despite this, the Trudeau gov't continues to press ahead with the construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) pipeline. On top of the environmental disaster it imposes, the TMX pipeline also comes at a huge cost to taxpayers, who are already on the hook for at least $17 B of TMX debt, according to a report just released by economist Robyn Allen and West Coast Environmental Law. Meanwhile, drilling for the Coastal GasLink (CGL) fracked gas pipeline began under the Wedzin Kwa (Morice River) on Wet’suwet’en territory in Northern B.C. in early October. The federal Liberal government and B.C. NDP government continue to give lip service to environmental concerns and Indigenous rights — while pressing ahead with massive resource extraction projects which completely disregard both. Join Climate Convergence as we set up at this busy rush hour Intersection with signs, banners, and hand out information about the TMX and CGL pipelines and fighting back against the climate crisis!
