BREAKING: #CoastalGasLink has been ordered to stop work on a three kilometre section of pipeline. Inspectors caught the company pumping sediment-laden water into an unapproved location, where it flowed into an environmentally sensitive fish-bearing tributary of the Anzac River.
This is a violation of the company's 2022 compliance agreement with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, after repeat failures to control sediment and erosion along the pipeline route. The stop-work order goes into effect at 6pm today. #bcpoli

The work stoppage affects km 143-146 of the pipeline route, near Mount Kinney in the northern Rockies. The primary contractor for this spread is SA Energy Group. CGL route map: map.coastalgaslink.com Image
Since provincial inspectors suddenly seem willing to stop work at locations where CGL has screwed up fish habitat, we look forward to sending them some coordinates!

Today is the consultation deadline for Indigenous groups along the Enbridge Westcoast Connector pipeline route.

B.C. environment minister George Heyman is preparing to decide on Enbridge's request for an emergency extension of the pipeline's certificate to 2029. #bcpoli
The WCGT pipeline was first proposed by Spectra Energy in 2012, and approved by the Christy Clark government in 2014.

Enbridge later bought Spectra, and all its projects and permits, to become the largest pipeline company in North America.
The project sat on the shelf for years, until Russia invaded Ukraine. The resulting spike in gas prices got Enbridge thinking again about a route to the West Coast.

But they have a problem: the project certificate can only be extended once under B.C. law. It expires next year.

BREAKING: The B.C. government is halting fracking subsidies that have cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars.

Under a new royalty system, companies will pay more to the public to extract oil and gas starting this September. #bcpoli #climate #fracking
However, the province is still planning a massive expansion of fracking to fuel a global gas export industry.

Under B.C.'s new royalty regime, taxpayers will continue to subsidize new drilling, pipelines and well cleanup.
Today's announcement is a step in the right direction after years of public outrage over B.C.'s egregious oil and gas subsidies. "I believe the system has failed British Columbians," says Premier @jjhorgan. He promises higher revenues from publicly-owned resources.

Hard to imagine a more backwards and despicable act than flying RCMP into #Wetsuweten territory to raid Indigenous pipeline opponents while 17,000 people are forced out of their homes by a climate disaster. #bcpoli
The dispute over the #CoastalGasLink fracked gas pipeline has simmered for years.

The public safety minister pulled the trigger on this raid now, precisely because most people in southern B.C. are distracted by basic survival – and cannot travel there in support.
The politicians will hide behind the RCMP and the corporation, as they always do, by saying they don't 'direct' the police on tactics.

But the government created this entire situation – by giving $5 billion in subsidies to foreign gas companies to build the "LNG Canada" project.

B.C. has declared a state of emergency for the third time this year, amid deadly landslides and floods. Our thoughts are with the families of people killed or still missing, and all those left stranded or homeless by B.C.'s latest climate disaster. #BCflood Image
Thank you to the local officials, First Nations governments, search and rescue teams, Gurdwaras, first responders and thousands of volunteers working around the clock to take care of those in need.
We are alarmed by the slow response of the provincial government, which was warned about the coming deluge last Friday and failed to get people out of the path of danger.

Yesterday Premier John Horgan gave a speech in the B.C. legislature about what he called the “atrocities” committed at Indian Residential Schools. “This is not something that happened in the past. It is something that is going on right now,” Horgan said.

He’s right.

There are more than 4,000 Indigenous children in the custody of the B.C. government today. Some were seized from their mothers as newborns, part of a dehumanizing practice called “birth alerts” that didn’t end until 2019. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
