Despite a widespread media narrative spreading incorrect information, NO agreements have been made on the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline, and the call for solidarity actions remains firmly in place!
Yesterday, Amnesty's Alex Neve and I visited Tyendinaga in the aftermath of the Ontario Provincial Police’s enforcement action. We spoke with community members who all described a feeling of betrayal and broken trust.
Following our visit, we issued an open letter to Prime Minister Trudeau to urge him to act now to finally break with decades of failure when it comes to the relationship with Indigenous peoples in Canada.
You can read and share the letter to Prime Minister Trudeau here:
OTTAWA—A federal Crown corporation might lend money to support the Coastal GasLink pipeline, a move that one Wet’suwet’en chief called “highly inappropriate” amidst ongoing rail blockades and nationwide protests against the project.
Canada walked into a political and diplomatic trap of its own making when it took it upon itself to create a self-appointed busybody lobby called The Group of Lima.
The gas plays a powerful role in driving up global temperatures.
A new study published in Nature may have ended a long scientific debate about the key source of rising methane levels in the atmosphere.
It found that methane emissions from human activities — mainly fossil fuels — are probably 25 to 40 per cent higher than previously estimated, while natural sources of methane emissions are up to 90 per cent lower than previously estimated.

Pipeline in Wet’suwet’en territory could be delayed by several months
Coastal GasLink’s final Technical Data Report for a pipeline the company plans to build through unceded Wet’suwet’en territory has been rejected by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. As a result, work on the pipeline in the area of the Unist’ot’en Healing Centre may be delayed.
