Man climbs tree inside B.C. marine terminal to protest Trans Mountain pipeline GlobeBC
A mid-air protest has begun in British Columbia at the western end of the Trans Mountain pipeline, which carries oil sands crude from Alberta to a port in Metro Vancouver.
This is the second protest for Christenson, who was arrested in March 2018 after climbing a tree in the same area to slow clearing for the pipeline construction.Christenson’s first protest lasted 16 hours before he was removed, but Biggs says the professional mountain climber has enough supplies to remain in his new perch for a week.
The federal government supports the tripling of the pipeline’s capacity but suspended work on the expansion last August when the Federal Court of Appeal found parts of a National Energy Board review were flawed and should be redone.“It’s a message to Justin Trudeau and his cabinet who are right now considering whether or not to reapprove the pipeline. If they do that, I think they are going to see a lot more actions like this mornings’,” Biggs says.
