Do you have a source or more info on how constructing Coastal Gaslink natural gas pipeline is a violation of human rights? I don’t mean to ask this with any snark or attitude I genuinely want to know. I don’t quite get the logic of protesting a natural gas pipeline, that if there is a leak, simply dissipates into the air, unlike oil where environmental concerns probably have far more relevance.
Do you have sources for media blackouts, one way or the other? Honestly asking where you got that from because from what I’ve seen so far the comments and chitter chat is that anything there seems to be a media bias away from talking about how the large majority of the We’tsuwet’en people actually support the pipeline but a small group / handful are against it. If it’s anything like TMX where 120 groups were FOR the pipeline and 6 were AGAINST the pipeline, maybe we need to have a different kind of discussion about reasonability. But anyway, from what I have read, these are protestors that are external from the region and probably paid activist / protestors with no actual skin in the game. Why is the media not reporting this? Is that even true?
At any rate, seems like things are way more murky than you seem to insinuate. Sources please, mine are all Twitter bs so I’d genuinely like to see if you have qualified or relevant news / research to back up your claim on human rights and media blackouts.
These people should be railroaded, pun intended, and the fact we are here as a nation is a HUGE indictment on Canadian society IMO. If these are paid protestors from the US or other countries, this is effectively a sovereign economic attack on Canada and should be dealt with with the utmost importance and severity in response to defend Canadian assets and actually society at large to be honest.
