Ecojustice is challenging B.C. Environmental Assessment Office’s approval for the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission #pipeline.
After 10 years of delay, the company rushed minimal clearing before its certificate expired, yet the EAO still called it “substantially started.”
"I like to imagine how potent solidarity could be if it didn’t wait for repression, but if it happened in response to resistance. When one community throws down, another recognizes the importance and urgency of the situation and steps up to have their back. This could spread to become something truly uncontrollable and have some remarkable opportunities."
📣 New episode!
Interview with northern BC anarchists about the growing struggle against the #PRGT pipeline.
Discussions includes history and overview of the project, the changing context of the Canada-US trade war, anarchist-indigenous solidarity, and taking some lessons from Shut Down Canada.

95-Metre ‘Mega-Banner’ Urges #Carney to Pick a Path, Choose Renewables and #ClimateAction
Ahead of next week’s Speech from the Throne, four national climate groups mounted a 95-metre fabric installation in Ottawa’s Major’s Hill Park on Wednesday, urging Prime Minister #MarkCarney to “pick a path” between new oil and gas #pipelines and climate action.
On the same day, Faith and Climate Action held a “pray-in” at #RoyalBank of #Canada headquarters in Toronto, protesting bank financing for new #fossilfuel infrastructure like the proposed #PrinceRupert Gas Transmission #PRGT project in #BritishColumbia which is expected to receive #BCgovernment approval within days.
The “mega-banner” in #Ottawa “took over 20 hours to construct, dozens of volunteers, sheer grit, and caffeine-fuelled delusion,” wrote Emily Lowan, fossil fuel supply campaigns lead at Climate Action Network-Canada (CAN-Rac), in an email to supporters. “It may even break records as the largest banner in Canadian #climate movement history!”

From #DogwoodBC ->
The #BCgovernment doesn’t think people care about #ClimateChange any more. But the next drought or heat dome is coming, and they’ll see just how much we care then. The time to solve a disaster is before it starts, not when you’re in the middle of it.
As of right now, B.C. has no climate plan. They’ve dismantled #CleanBC - an already meek attempt to protect British Columbians from the worst possible outcomes, with nothing to replace it. And what’s worse, they’re charging ahead with plans to approve another fracked gas pipeline: the #PrinceRupert Gas Transmission pipeline.
#FrackedGas is methane, a greenhouse gas that accelerates global heating. #PRGT would not only add to the carbon emissions responsible for more wildfires, it would also increase fracking operations in northern B.C. which doctors and scientists alike have shown make people in surrounding communities sick.
Approving PRGT is reckless. Dangerous. And completely out of step with what this moment demands. We don’t need more #FossilFuels — we need real climate action. Right now.
Send a letter to #Climate Minister Tamara Davidson. Demand a stop to the PRGT pipeline.

As winter looms, #Gitxsan and #Gitanyow #pipeline #resistance shows no sign of slowing
#LandDefenders continue to organize against #PRGT as its environmental assessment certificate is up for review starting this week [Nov 27, 2024]
"[Maas Gwitkunuxws Teresa Brown], who’s chosen to make her home in a converted school bus heated by a wood stove, said she, too, will do what it takes to make sure the pipeline project is kiboshed. 'They’re not getting in here,' she told IndigiNews. 'Over my dead body.'
By Mike Graeme, November 27, 2024
"Up a forestry road north of Kispiox on Gitxsan Lax’yip (homelands), the sounds of hammering and power tools echo through the forest as golden leaves fall from aspen poplar and paper birch trees.
"With winter imminent, Maas Gwitkunuxws Teresa Brown — who is Gitxsan from the Gisk’aast (Fireweed) Clan — and her team hurry to build a structure to keep Brown’s four dogs and nine foster puppies warm during the cold months.
"In these territories of northwestern 'B.C.,' temperatures can be unforgiving, with lows known to drop to -30 C or colder at night.
"'It’s scary thinking I’m going to be out here in the winter, but it really feels like I can’t leave,' Brown says. 'I do this from love.'"

Call to Action against the #PRGT #Pipeline
https://north-shore.info/2024/11/13/call-to-action-against-the-prgt-pipeline/
A #BritishColumbia #FirstNation has established a #blockade on its traditional territory to close the access point into the #PrinceRupert Gas Transmission #pipeline #PRGT #ManCamp.
#Gitanyow #HereditaryChiefs decided to blockade the #CranberryConnector, a forest service road that passes over the #CranberryRiver, on Thursday after reports arrived from Gitanyow camps that large trucks and machinery were crossing their traditional territory.
As the blockade was being established, a ceremony was held to burn 10-year-old pipeline benefit agreements over the PRGT. Gitanyow maintains that the agreements are outdated and that “the project route and scope have undergone significant changes since the existing #environmental assessment was conducted in 2014,” a Gitanyow press release said.
The #PRGTpipeline was bought by the #NisgaaNation and their industry partner #WesternLNG from #TCEnergy in March of this year. The proposed pipeline will connect #CoastalGasLink to the #KsiLisims terminal, jointly owned by the Nisga’a and Western LNG.
