President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs now says that he does ‘not support resuscitating dead (pipeline) projects’
The president of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs apologized Wednesday and walked back comments he made earlier this week suggesting he supported reviving the Northern Gateway pipeline project.
“The Union of BC Indian Chiefs has a long history of resolutions from the Chiefs Council opposing large-scale destructive resource projects including Enbridge Northern Gateway and the proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline,” the statement said. “This mandate has not changed.” “I would suggest that if we don’t build that kind of infrastructure, Trump will,” he said, adding that the new U.S. president would do so without “consideration for the environment or the rule of law.”
Other B.C. First Nations leaders in the union also stated their continued opposition to Northern Gateway. Slett said temperatures continue to trend higher in B.C., highlighting the urgency of continued resistance against non-renewable energy projects and infrastructure.
